AIN’T NO FOOL
He ain’t black but his soul is
Black and white like a domino
Never made it through high school
Never followed any rule
Yes I know… He ain’t no fool
You can call him what you want
He was raised in a gutter
Don’t come knocking at his door
He don’t deal with any dope
Yeah! Huh! Yeah! Huh! Yeah Huh!
Just a minding his business
Staying far from the madness
Just a fighting his way through
What You gonna do? Hoo-Hoo! Hoo-hoo!
He stood up in the hard times
Never cried for his mama
Tasted all kinds of women
Go ahead!You name the colors now!
Yes I know… He ain’t no fool
I wish I’d be more like him
Seems he’s always gotta win
Maybe this guy after all
He’s trying to look like me!
Yeah! Huh! Yeah! Huh! Yeah! Huh!
Just a minding his business
Staying far from the madness
Just a fighting his way through
What You gonna do? Hoo-Hoo! Hoo-hoo!

WHAT YOU NEEDED
What a beautiful thing it is to be out here
On this sunshiny day
People are singing and dancing
Things are goin’ my way!
I was drinkin’, smokin’
Slowly loosin’ my mind
I was gamblin’, hustlin’
Slowly goin’ insane
Love… that’s all watcha wanted!
Love… that’s all watcha needed baby!
Love… that’s all watcha wanted!
Love… that’s all watcha needed baby!
That lady she came down here
This time she said it was all for good
She came packed with a whole lotta love
That kind I needed to carry on!
I was drinkin’, smokin’
Slowly loosin’ my mind
I was gamblin’, hustlin’
Slowly goin’ insane
Love… that’s all watcha wanted!
Love… that’s all watcha needed baby!
Love… that’s all watcha wanted!
Love… that’s all watcha needed baby!
Oh yeah… Oh Yeah… Oh Yeah… Oh Yeah!
I’ve been sitting on this lonely road too long!
And I ain’t gonna stay down here no more!
I was drinkin’
I was smokin’
I’ve been gamblin’
I was hustlin’

GET NO PEACE
We all have to hurry
We all wanna play

You need to fly far away and show it! Show it now!
Baby! You know I’m just about to loose my mind!
There’s so many choices , peace is just so hard to find
We all wanna live
Like a king does
I ain’t got no king
But I sure like my queen
You have to shake like this to get likes
You have to eat like that to be cool
You want to run 10 miles to be in
You need to look like a star and show it! Show us now!
Baby! You know I’m just about to loose my mind!
There’s so many choices , peace is just so hard to find
You have to dance like this to get likes
You have to think like that to be cool
You want to look like this to be in
You need to fly far away and show it! Show it now!
Baby! You know I’m just about to loose my mind!
There’s so many options , peace is just so hard to find
Baby! You know I’m just about to loose my mind!
There’s so many choices , I just can’t get no Peace! No matter how I try!
I’m just about to go wild!
Ain’t nobody can get no peace here! Can you?

FINALLY
Oh Finally baby
I have listened to my heart
It’s been a long time girl
But I finally understand
To some you never were the cutest!
But they were wrong
For you she was your Highness!
I was so lucky… They could not see!
Will I ever be?
Will I ever be?
Finally…
Doing what my heart says?
Will I ever have the nerve to call her?
Yes you will man!
Will I ever be a good enough man to please her?
You’no bad guy!
To some you never were the cutest!
But they were wrong
For you she was your Highness!
I was so lucky… I could have you all for myself!
Will I ever be?
Will I ever be?
Finally…
To some you never were the cutest!
For you she was your Highness!
You were so lucky… so lucky… so lucky…
Will I ever be?
Will I ever be?

JOOK
Huh!
Oh lookie girl!
You’ve got your head in a hole
You let everybody down
Tellin’ em you don’t wanna be messed around
You keep on sayin’ you won’t find him
Ain’t no decent men in this town no
Better tighten up your game mama
If you get yourself together!
Baby!! Jook’s right here to prove you wrong!
He’s just what you’d been looking for!
Standing right in front of you! Mercy!
Ma-ma-ma sugar
You need someone to tell ya how pretty you are
Let him pull your head out
from that dirty hole you don’t belong in
He’s gonna show you them blue skies now
Right from the moment you let him in girl
Teach you some stuff you ignored lady
‘Bout one too many things you were missing
Baby!! Let this man brighten up your life!
Take you away / somewhere far from here
Now you’ve been hit, by his sweet soulful ways
It’s never too late, You know I told you… I told you! I told you!
He’s the man!
Here comes Jook girl!
Let him in now!

What they sayin’ on the radio ain’t true
What they sayin’ on the net ain’t true
What they sayin’ on the news ain’t true
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh! Who’s gonna be your saviour?
