What You Sow
The prophet spoke
Said-You'll reap what you sow
Go plant your seed, See them grow
Comes there flowers, trees, or weeds
Life’s a harvest, from thoughts flow deeds
What you give is what you’ll get
So give your love, yeah
Preview the choices that you choose
And see your future
You gone reap what you sow
Plant the seeds see them grow
La, La, La
You gone reap what you sow
Plant the seed see them grow
Yeah
Some try to mislearn your mind
Wanna see you left behind
Turn away from what they say
Trust the silent
Go on and do what you got to
Gonna make you dream come true
Let go the past
Bad times never last
Follow your dreams
No matter how far...
They seem
You gone reap what you sow
Go plant the seed...
Know that quitters never win
It's never to late to begin
Tomorrow begins today
So be on your way
Remeber come the winters gloom
Soon Spring your seeds will bloom
And you'll reap what you sow
So go plant the seed...
See them grow
La, La, La
La, La, La, Yeah
You gone reap what you sow
Plant the seed see them grow
La, La, La
You gone reap what you sow
Plant the seed see them grow
Yeah
Go plant the seed...
Yeah, La, La, La
Release
Family ties pull til they break
A wounded love can turn to hate
Years go by,
Nobody's speaking
Til somebody dies
Now, everyone's weeping
Release yourself
Don't blame nobody else
Relax the pressure
And you'll relieve the strain
Rebuke your anger
And you'll resolve the pain
Release yourself
And learn to love again
Anger's a wall
Imprisons the soul
I give you a call
You peek through the hole
But love is a key
Right there in your pocket
And if you wanna be free
Get up and unlock it
Go on and release yourself
Don't blame nobody else
Relax the pressure
And you'll relieve the strain
Rebuke your anger
And you'll resolve the pain
Release yourself
And learn to love again
I can remember
Do you recall?
Your love was a river
For one and for all
But now it's so shallow
Your smile so rare
And sometimes I thirst
For more than my share
Why don't Release yourself
Don't blame nobody else
Relax the pressure
And you'll relieve the strain
Rebuke your anger
And you'll resolve the pain
Release yourself
And learn to love again
Brothers dissing brothers
And daughters dismissing mothers
Trying hard to hide
How they're missing one another
Like Jesus all I'm asking
Forgive them their trespassing
Cause a family love
Should be love that's everlasting
Time to start the healing
Release the hurt you're feeling
Releasing all the anger
Your life has been revealing
Release yourself
Don't blame nobody else!
Release yourself
Don't blame nobody else
Relax the pressure
And you'll relieve the strain
Rebuke your anger
And you'll resolve the pain
Release yourself
And learn to love again
Like Your Mama
Hope you find a woman
Kind like your mama
She's made me such a happy man
Hope you meet a woman
Sweet like your mama
And buy her wedding band
And your whole world
Will be so fine
You'll have a boy and girl
A wife like mine
I hope you'll love her
As much as I do
Love your mama
Longing for a woman
Strong like your mama
You know the way she'll stand by me
Who'll rights me when your're wrong
Not a lot of drama
Just love and harmony
And your whole world
Will be so fine
You'll have a boy and girl
A wife like mine
I hope you'll love her
As much as I do
Love your mama
When my ship was tossing
Stormy night
You mama was always
Guiding light
Your searching for a woman
To help set your course
You and she be happily
No divorce
And your whole world
Will be so fine
You'll have a boy and girl
A wife like mine
I hope you'll love her
As much as I do
Love your mama
So if you want a love
That's a real McCoy
Find yourself a girl
Like your mama boy
She'll give you love
Each day you've live
I know you've got
Much love to give
I hope you'll hope her
As much as I do
Love your mama
Queen of the City
Feel lucky when you meet her
Children run to greet her
Every time she takes a stroll
Just something about her
So much joy comes out her
Such a beautiful soul
She's got inner beauty
Not all fashion, face, and jewelry
Naw...It flows deeper than that
Because she loves each neighbor
As herself from The Creator
Comes the love she gives
Ten times back
Queen of the city
Smiles so pretty
Love's the way
She greets the world
High stepping, styling
Always she'll be smiling
Joyfull..
The magic of her aura
Makes everyone adore her
They know that
She loves them too
Maybe she's a sample
One of God's examples
What agape love can do
It's our Father who crowned her
Shines His light around her
Helps us to see
We're all sisters and brothers
So let's love one another
One divine family
Queen of the city
Smiles so pretty
Love's the way
She greets the world
High stepping, styling
Always she'll be smiling
Joyful...
Look at that queen over there
Silver locks in her hair
Look at that queen
Rocking in her chair
Look at that full figured queen
The way her face glows
Like a hallo
So beautiful...
Heard a blue-eyed queen
Singing Joy to the world
Watched an afroed queen
Teach the little boys and girls
Seen an Asian queen
Dancing in the stillness
Love's supreme
Every queen's
Helping God to heal this world...
I met a sweet sixteen
Could tell she was a princess
Gonna be a queen one day
But there is so much she must learn
Before her crown is earned
She must take a righteous way
Face them trials and temptations
Before her coronation
Gone stumble she may trip
But she'll regain her grip
And walk like a princess
Grow into a queen
God be her witness
She'll know what it means
To be queen of the city
Love is the way
Look at that queen
The Way of Truth
The way of truth
Leads me ever higher
So far
Still so long
And every time
Devils at the crossroads
They try to turn me wrong
The will of God
Comes from deep inside me
So I sing my song
The way of truth's
Harder at the crossroad
But God keeps me strong
Upon a time
Words of men would blind me
Hide the truth within
By passion ruled
My thoughts were chains to bind me
My life taught by sin
My life was dim
God's light died inside me
Like so many men
Until I freed
His love inside to guide me
Up from where I;d been
The way of truth
Power and the glory
Just release control
Be still and pray
God will write the story
That guides your role
An inner light
Bright like the morning sunshine
A new day behold
The way of truth's
Harder at the crossroad
But I will reach my goal
You Need to Know
Maybe it's the way you're thinking
That makes your ship keep sinking
Say the world's against you
And make it true
But life is just reflecting
What you're always expecting
And if you'll change
Life changes too
You don't even know that
You don't even know
Where your thought goes
Is what your life shows
You need to know that
So much you need to know
Don't let your thoughts flow
Which way the winds blow
Say you feel like you're going nowhere
The spinning wheel of life's so unfair
And everything you want
Seems far away
Well stop your mind from wondering
And keep a light upon you dream
It's the thoughts held in you mind
Come true some day
You don't even know that
You don't even know
Where your thought goes
Is what your life shows
You need to know that
So much you need to know
Don't let your thoughts flow
Which way the winds blow
You can change you life if you will it
Let your inner sight reveal it
See big and bright
So you feel it everyday
Each thought's a seed you're sowing
Inside you deep they're growing
Don't hope it's time you start knowing
Believe in yourself and pray
You don't even know
You don't even know
Where your thought goes
Is what your life shows
You need to know
So much you need to know
Don't let your thoughts flow
Which way the winds blow
Just see yourself as you should be
And have no doubt who you could be
A self-fulfilling prophecy
You'll create your reality
Each day pray God reminds you
Old habits of thought behind you
You'll achieve just believe it's true
Life reflects your attitude
You don't even know that
You don't even know
Where your thought goes
Is what your life shows
You need to know that
So much you need to know
Don't let your thoughts flow
Which way the winds blow
Step Back
Don't stand so close to me
Until you set your soul free
Such negativity
I must flee
You used to have a smile
But that's been quite a while
And I don't like your new style
So please
Not so close to me
Before you set your soul free
Step back
They done you wrong I know
But it's been so long ago
I say before you loose control
Let it go
Forgive them and move on
Or you'll be all alone
When all your friends are gone
But now please
Not so close to me
Before you set your soul free
Step back
Negative vibrations
Your funky attitude
s'Like a poison radiation
Keeps spoiling my good mood
I used to really like you
Still wanna be your friend
But you've become so spiteful
Our friendship's about to end
Not so close to me
Before you set your soul free
Step back
Gotta make a choice
Try and listen to a higher voice
Focus on your joy
Believe...
Live now, forgive the past
Peace again at last
Have it if you'll only ask
And then please
Come stand close to me
Set your soul free
Step back
Close to me
Set your soul free
Step back
Eternity
Meet me in eternity
Where angels dance
And life's forever
We share everlasting love
I'll always be with you
And when I die
Don't cry for me
For only my body's forsaken
My soul goes flying free
In heaven I'll awaken
When we
Are in eternity
I see your inner beauty
Your soul glows with a light
That sparkles when you smile
And when I die
Don't cry for me
For only my body's forsaken
My soul goes flying free
In heaven I'll awaken
I've been your father
Husband, son, teacher, friend
I've always been here with you
I'll be your angel
Til you're home again
So please, don't cry for me
When I die
Don't cry for me
For only my body's forsaken
My soul goes flying free
In heaven I'll awaken
My soul goes flying free
In heaven I'll awaken
Pray for You
I�ll ask God above
To give you love
I�ll ask God inside
Go be your guide
In darkest night
She be your light
Temptations com
You�ll do what�s right
I will pray for you
Please pray for me
God rescue you
And set me free
I�ll ask God to send
Angels and friends
Chillin
When the worries of the world start bringing me down
Hustle and the bustle got me spinning around
I got a blanket and a grill in my automobile
Grab some food ,call my girl, and hit the hill
Chillin feeling the wine
Beneath the tree in summer time
Chillin, feeling the wine
Beneath the tree
Honeybees on a melon rind
Butterfly on honey vine
Baby and me so free so fine
Beneath the tree blue sky sunshine
Chillin feeling the swirl
Head on the lap of my candy girl
Gonna take a nap forget this world
For a secret place where me and her
Be chillin feeling the wine
Beneath the tree in summer time
Chillin, feeling the wine
Beneath the tree
Chillin feeling the flow
Around and around and around we go
So anybody ask you you don�t know
We�re at the top of the hill beneath the oak
Just chillin feeling the breeze
Body relaxing mind at ease
Chillin, feeling the wine
Beneath the tree
Chillin�carefree feeling
Chillin�carefree feeling
Chillin feeling the thrill
Wine in my cup, meat on the grill
Ain�t nothing like the way I feel
Beneath the tree atop the hill
Chilling feeling the sun
Baby and me have so much fun
Chillin feeling the wine
Beneath the tree
Chillin feeling the wine
Beneath the tree in summer time
Tangerine Clown
There�s a crazy place
In the funky part of town
Where they dance in the circle
Of the Tangerine Clown
They sing and dance
Til their rhythm brings a trance
Merrily they prance
Around the tangerine clown
They whirl and twirl
Honey boys and candy girls
In their world within the curl
Around the tangerine clown
Fa la la, so la de da
Dance in the circle of the Tangerine Clown
Fa la la, so la de da
Dance in the circle of the Tangerine Clown
He�s the sage on stage
At the circle in the square
And grooving to his rhythm
Is their only care
He rules their minds
To truth they stay blind
Keeping time to the rhyme
Around the Tangerine Clown
But his painted smile�s
But a frown seen upside down
In the round between the boundaries
Of the Tangerine Clown
Fa la la, so la de da
Dance in the circle of the Tangerine Clown
Fa la la, so la de da
Dance in the circle of the Tangerine Clown
In the center ring
He grows strong as they sing
So long as they swing
To and fro for their king
Joker of the round
Bright red rubies in his crown
One by one they all fall down
Around the tangerine clown
As he feeds on their song
While they slave to his drum
One by one his dances die
Why two by two do new ones come?
Fa la la, so la de da
Dance in the circle of the Tangerine Clown
Fa la la, so la de da
Dance in the circle of the Tangerine Clown
PaPa's Song
I remember when my papa called me
And set me on his knee
He said 'Soon I'm gonna be leaving
The Lord gone set me free
And though the physical life might leave us
My body may decay
Know my soul's gone talk with Jesus
Every time you pray
He said "Hush now boy
Now don't you cry
A good man's soul don't never die
And I'm gonna talk to Jesus
Every time you pray"
The next day PaPa was an angle
And everybody cried
I'd never know nothing no stranger
Than the day granddaddy died
Holding mama's hand in the funeral march
Mama, dad, nana so sad
But my papa's voice came to lighten my heart
When I remembered what he said
"Hush now boy
Now don't you cry
A good man's soul don't never die
And I'm gonna talk to Jesus
Every time you pray"
Twenty-five years since papa was here
Nana done joined him their
And I never fear when trouble is near
Because I know their spirits care
On my knees to the Lord I pray
Let them both give me their strength
And in a heavenly way I hear my papa say
To the Lord he'll speak at length
"Hush now boy
Now don't you cry
A good man's soul don't never die
And I'm gonna talk to Jesus
Every time you pray"
The Golden Rule
The Golden Rule
Somebody asked Jesus, Lord teach me the truth
How can I get to heaven? Tell me what must I do
He said "Love God and follow this golden rule"
"Alway do unto others
As you would have them do to you"
The Buddha meditates beneath the Boodi tree
He opened up his eyes and said it's clear to see
Compassion is the golden key to harmony
"Hurt not others
In ways that you yourself would find hurtful"
Mohammed wrote it down in an immaculate flow
As the angel spoke what Allah wants us all to know
He told the golden trait a true believer shows
"No one of you is a believer
Until he desires for his brother as he desires for himself"
The Hindu say that Soul is one and the soul
Of each of us is Brahma in another role
The golden way to let your inner god unfold
"This is the sum of duty:
Do not unto others what would cause you pain if done to you
The Jewish people living under sacred law
Jehovah's Word from visions that their prophets saw
Their golden wisdom verse from which we all should draw
What is hateful to you, do not to you fellow man
That is the entire law, all the rest is commentary
At the heart of every faith there is a holy sage
A messenger of love for all the human race
Gonna change our foolish ways let's truly follow them
to a golden age
Somebody asked Jesus
He said "Love God and follow this golden rule"
