Ashanti - No Album Tracks lyrics

(Chorus - Ashanti)
Baby, I'm not always there when you call, but I'm always on time
And I gave you my all, now baby be mine
I'm not always there when you call, but I'm always on time
And I gave you my all, now baby be mine

(Ja Rule)
C'mon and get a piece of this late-night lover
You know, the one that swing dick like no other (shit)
I know, I got a lot of things I need to explain
But baby you know the name and love is about pain
So, stop the complaints and drop the order restraints
Our sex life's a game so bat me down in the paint
'Cause I can't wait no more
'Cause it's about a quarter-past three and shorty's eyein me
I got the Bentley valeted
And I'm just outside of Jersey, past the Palisades
****And I love to see that ass and boobs shake
Hold down on the bed while I'm yankin your braids****
Thug style, you never thought I'd make you smile
While I'm smackin your ass and fuckin you all wild
[With Ashanti] But we share somethin so rare, but who cares, you care, babe

(Chorus)

Girl, get a grip, c'mon, pull it together
It's only a sunshower, we been through worse weather
Like the stormy nights you wrote a "Dear Ja" letter
And took my Benz and keyed and cut the leather
Bitch, you know better, we live M-O-B
Money Over Bitches, Murder, I-N-C
I got two or three hoes for every V
And I keep 'em drugged up off that ecstasy
I'm a playground legend like Kirk with Pee-wee
*Aint more nigga in the league got more game than me
I play hard, there's so many women I fathered
Meet 'em with scars and send 'em home hot and bothered
Truth or dare, this life ain't apparantly fair
And a love with no glare is a crystal stare
But we share [with Ashanti] somethin so rare, but who cares, you care, babe

(Chorus)

Oh I'm, feelin like ya livin a, double life
'Cause you don't be comin home, sometimes
Baby, but you're always, on time, checkin for one time
You and I, got a special bond together
We go back like bombers boo, in the coldest weather
And when I play you play the same way you freak me baby I fuck you crazy
Then I'm gone
Baby don't really want me to get up and leave off that easy
She'll be wakin up wet for sheezy
Remind these bitches to mind they business
Believe me, this pimp game is very religious
And I'm built like the Don Bishop
Gon' keep this money-green Benz and my hoes as my witness
The life we share is a thug affair
[With Ashanti] But who cares, you care, babe

(Chorus)

(Ashanti)

Always there when you call, always on time
Gave you my....baby be mine
Always there when you call, always on time
Gave you my... baby be mine

(Radio Announcer) - Ja Rule
Here at W-I-Z we play nothing but the hits, nothing but the hits
Nothing but the muthafuckin hits

[Ashanti]
I got the jomes forming in my bones (From a man)
Who indeed took over my soul (Understand)
I couldn't breathe if he ever said (He would leave)
Get on my knees, til there bloody red (Baby please)
See I don't know if you get it yet (Just don't know)
He's like the lighter to my cigarette (Wacth me smoke)
I never knew another human life (Didn't know)
Who got the power to take over mine, so baby, baby

[Crooked I]
Yo, I love my R & B, P's man
She be in the shower singin "Shockin Car Sweet Thang"
But I'm on the block, gutter thuggin where the G's hang
Cuz all of my father figures came from a street gang
It's Crooked I, ridin wit me more
She top notch, dog a bently is sore
She keep her body covered in Christian Dior
(Wow) Plus she's ready to ride wit me in war

[Ashanti]
See I can never feel alone with you (In my life)
I'll give up everything I own for you (Won't think twice)
Almost a shame how I'm mesmerised (Such a shame)
I lose my thought lookin in your eyes (I know, I)
Because your kisses make my lips quiver (And that's real)
And when you touch me my whole body shivers (I can feel)
Now I can see how another life (Another life)
Could the power to take over mine (Cuz your my)

And tell me, who could ever picture
That me and you would be together forever

How can I come, when I know I keep guns under my shirt I love the street life,

(Baby...)

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or ask the grinning bob cat why he grins
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

[Shi Shi]
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle of a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he's been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the earth and still
All you own is earth until
You paint with all the colors of the wind

[ad-libs: Ashanti]
In the beginning...
When no one else was around...
You were there...
And now.. that everything is good...
You gotta know...
I'll ride out with you... forever...

[verse one]
I never thought that I could find this thang
That always had me comin' back again
Something about the way you move, it got me...
Hooked on you, no matter, what I do
I never felt this way for another
It's feelin' kinda strange, but I love it
You gotta know that I would never leave
You did that thang to me, you is where I be

[chorus]
There's no me
Without you
I can't think
Without you
Don't you know that I will...
Never leave
Leave you
All I need
Need is you

[verse two]
You're always there to make me feel alright
You got me thinkin' bout you day and night
Thinkin' bout how my life is now
How you, make me smile, and I, love ya style
We been together through thick and thin
Whatever troubles you're in, I'm in
You gotta know that I would never leave
You did that thang to me, you is where I be

[bridge]
What you've done to me
You know that I can't see
Myself with or without you
Bein' without you
Breathin' without you, baby
[2X]

[chorus]

[rap: Caddillac Tah]
Now it don't matter if you hatin' or spoiled...
We gone get that dough
The camp is strong...
Can't do nothin' else but blow
I chant this cause...
I'm lettin' you all know (it's murdaaaa, for liiiife)
Now you know I'm a put my life on the line for yours
Pull a nine out the drawer, strap up, when it's time for war
Stack up, every penny, money over these broads
Back up, against the wall in a riot or brawl
I pledge allegiance, the I-N-C is the clique
And till I die, I'm a ride with my niggas through thick
And thin, playin' him, we playin' to win
Steady ballin', soarin', long dickin' these broads, and..
I'm my brother's keeper, slugs'll spreech ya, plug'll heat ya
Fuckin' wit my family, so understand, B, there's no me without them
All we got is us, me and 'Shan tearin' it up, nigga what, what

[chorus: (2X)]

[Ashanti]
Murder I-N-C
You know that I can't see myself
Livin' without you
Bein' without you
Breathin' without you, baby

[bridge]

[ad-libs: Irv Gotti]
Hahaha... Murder Inc
Yeah, my nigga Sez
My princess... Ashanti
Without each other, y'all
Nowhere...

See, my days are cold without you (Here's another one)
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you (And another one)
And though my heart can't take no more (Uh)
I won't keep runnin' back to you (Uh, uh, uh)
(Here's another one, what)

Ashanti:
I think about my strength to finally get up and leave
No more broken heart for me
No more tellin' your lies to me (And another one)
I'm lookin' like I got my head on right, so now I see
No more givin' you everything
There's no more takin' my love from me

[Chorus]

Ashanti:
I'm glad to wake up every day without you on my brain (Uh)
No more waiting late up at night
No more havin' to fuss and fight
I'm proud to say (And another one)
That I will never make (And another one) the same mistake
No more thinkin' bout what you do
There's no more me runnin' back to you

[Chorus]

Notorious B.I.G.:
Some say the X, make the sex
Spec-tacular, make me lick you from ya neck
To yo back, then ya, shiverin', tongue deliverin'
Chills up that spine, that ass is mine
Skip the wine and the candlelight, no Cristal tonight
If it's alright with you, we fuckin' (That's cool)
Deja vu, the blunts sparked, finger fuckin' in the park
Pissy off Bacardi Dark
Remember when I used to play between yo legs
You begged for me to stop because you know where it would head
Straight to yo mother's bed
At the Mariott, we be lucky if we find a spot
Next to yo sister, damn I really missed the
Way she used to rub my back, when I hit that
Way she used to giggle when yo ass would wiggle
Now I know you used to suites at the Park or Meridian
Trips in the Carribean, but tonight, no ends

Ashanti:
You must be used to me cryin', cryin'
While you're out bumpin' and grindin' (And another one)
But I'm leavin' you tonight

See, my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I can't keep running back to you

You must be used to me cryin', cryin' (Uh, and another one)
While you're out bumpin' and grindin'
But I'm leavin' you tonight (Uh, and another one)

Ashanti:
What's love?

Fat Joe:

Chorus

Verse 3: Fat Joe, Ashanti

Chorus 2 Times

When a man does wrong
Ain't no coming back home
He's been out there too long
She won't even
Talk on the phone

When a man does wrong
Ain't no coming back home
Can't come around
There ain't no place
