Grand Opening
Who the f___ want what?
You want it, I got it, tell me where you want it head or gut
Attitude is scowl face, hand on my junk
More fresh than Jeff with the brand new funk
People are steady guessing, while I’m learning my lessons
I’m steady counting my blessings while having to field the questions
Speculate, do what you gotta do
Everybody got inquiries, yea even I got a few
Now tell me,
Is it rock or blues?
Is it funk or rap
Is it scripture or song?
Is it God or beyond?
Who really cares? Tell me how it feel in your spirit
Do it make you wanna move when you hear it?
Flow commandeering, carnal, and celestial
Wanna take you higher, a Sly extra terrestrial
Go to higher heights, mediocre won’t suffice
getting down to the rhythm of Soul Sacrifice
Now what!
Chorus
Welcome, welcome, welcome
Grand opening, huh
Welcome, welcome
I can’t sleep, world taking a toll on my soul
Puff two, hoping the herb do what it do
Take me away, refuge, far from the dark
current state, the sadness is hard on the heart
Push through, feign happiness, face with a smile
Present teeth, inner beef, persevering in style
Don’t know, where to go, the sky don’t help
Face truth, lace boots, then i tighten the belt
Not fine, jot lines, only hoping to cope
Duck down, buck now, emerge through the smoke
Misspoke, every quote be exposing a lie
Maybe we’re never woke until we’re closing our eyes
Live now, never know if rebirth’ll come
All about the journey? Then how you know when you won?
Red or blue, either way, you taking a pill
So pick a truth, either way, you making it real
Now what!
Chorus
Welcome, welcome, welcome
Grand opening, huh
Welcome, welcome

The Water
You gave me the melody
You are the reason, the joy, and the agony
You exposed my insecurities
Opened my eyes to a brand new reality
pre-chorus:
So walk with me a little further
Take my hand and follow me into the wind
Just walk with me a little further
I know a special place that’s just around the bend
chorus:
Let me take you to the water
Let me take you to the water, yea yea
Can we take it to the water?
Can we take it to the water? yea yea yea
Didn’t know you were my everything
Couldn’t see the whole world right in front of me
Tried to show me love could be so sweet
You couldn’t wait on the man I would become eventually
pre-chorus:
But walk with me a little further
Take my hand and follow me into the wind
Just walk with me a little further
I know a special place that’s just around the bend
chorus:
Let me take you to the water
Let me take you to the water, yea yea
Can we take it to the water?
Can we take it to the water? yea yea yea
Bridge:
Don’t say the fire’s burned out
I don’t see no embers baby, no I don’t see no embers baby
In your love I’d gladly drown
Can we wash away the past baby?
I’m begging you (to) baptize me in your loving!
chorus:
Let me take you to the water
Let me take you to the water, yea yea
Can we take it to the water?
Can we take it to the water? yea yea yea

No Bad News (60 bpm)
Don't bring me no bad news in the morning
Don't send me no sadness with the sun
If you ain't got good things to say
I'm gon ask you please to wait
Don't bring me no bad news in the morning
Don't bring me no bad news in the morning
Don't give death directions to my door
Don't wake me up ringing my phone
Telling me my love is gone
Don't bring me no bad news in the morning
Don't bring me no bad news in the morning
Don't tell me no tales for me to cry
If you ain't got good things to say
Wait til later in the day
But don't bring me no bad news in the morning
Don’t bring me no bad news in the morning
Don’t bring my heart more burdens for me to bear
If you ain’t got good things to say
Take your troubles and gon away
Don’t bring me no bad news in the morning

You ain’t treat me right the first time

Float on/ Gon float away from here, float on
Verse:
Girl you met my mama
and she cooked for you
Said I took you to my mama house girl
And she made one of them good big ole down home dinners for you
But you didn’t appreciate
I said you didn’t appreciate
So you didn’t ingratiate
and so my mama told me what I need to do
She said “hey son, tell that lil girl to…”

Float on/ Gon float away from here, float on
Float on/ Gon float away from here, float on

Testify
verse
Girl I would tell the judge,
what it is and what it was
Right hand on the bible,
Ain’t no one as fly as you
Tell a jury full of peers,
exactly what is
You the baddest baby no lie,
baby I just wanna testify
verse
So you say you wanna misbehave
well i know about hunnid ways
And i like my liquor hunnid proof
make it do what it wanna do
She like the boys in the band
and she know that i’m the man
You the baddest baby, no lie
Baby, I just wanna testify
rap
I got my eye on you, girl i’m watching
I ain’t worried ‘bout them dudes clocking
Your homegirls cock blockin, tell em stop it
me and you together baby that’s the best option
Even the preacher man like “goddamn”
you feeling devilish baby like I am?
In my three piece suit sweating in this pew
cause ain’t nobody on fire like me and you
Everyday we together’s a lovely day
No gin and juice baby, you the bombay
I on’t speak nonsense, no habla
Who a better chica baby? No se
And it ain’t another couple touching me and you
And it ain’t another band laying this groove
And it ain’t another jam hitting this hard
I put a couple bands on it sware fo’ gawd!
