Jazz you razzmatazz you... with a little bit of style

Time

2. IN THE END

Stuck on yourself, gacked out your mind
Now who do u think u are?
Cuz if u could see u would probably still be blind
U stab in the back & laugh at the face of inflicted misery
Well i've news 4 u i won't be the fool in your game
The root of your evil began as a child
Your strength lies in numbers of friends
But where will they be when your antics are dubbed out of style

It's easy 2 hide all the pain in your mask
It's plain 2 see u don't know who u are
The only excuse is u don't believe in yourself

[Chorus]:
Where will u be in the end ( i don't know )
When there's no one left 2 offend ( where 2 go )
The ways of your world can' t pretend ( now i know )
Cuz your days are about 2 end
Shit talkin fool with no ambition with dreams turned 2 black &
White
There's not much 2 leave behind, u got no real inspiration
The racism, hatred u're quick 2 exclaim they leave u 2 look like
The clown
& this circus that u call life is leaving 2day

[Chorus]
U've got no real deserves u've got no real respect
& guess who is laughing now
There's nothing left but remorse in the form regret


3. HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW

I know what you're doin the truth's in your eyes
U exist just 2 ruin it's no surprise
U took a man from his fam'ly, u have no regrets
Devil's smile on your face, but no1 4gets
Now you're sayin things that nobody really wants 2 hear
& when push comes 2 shove who will bow 2 your savior-faire

[Chorus]:
Same old tale, it's like love 4 sale
& as you're here 2day, u'll be gone 2day
Your love was like the blind leading the blind
U played him out like a tool, but u didn't mind
All the treasures you've found were merely fools gold
& your ass won't easily be kissed when you're gray & old
Prima donna gone bad
& u won't be the last
& as long as it took 2 get up the fall is much 2 fast
U got the prize, name in lights full drama queen
But u haven't earned the regard that u will need

[Chorus]
The truth's in your eyes
& written throughout your face
While you're here & gone there's another
Who'll take your place

[Chorus]
Love is blind, baby nevermind
Cuz as you're here 2day u'll be gone 2day


4. DARLING NIKKI

I knew a girl named Nikki i guess u could say she was a sex fiend

I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine
She said how'd u like 2 waste some time
And i could not resist when i saw little nikki grind

She took me 2 her castle and i just couldn't believe my eyes
She had so many devices everything that money could buy
She said sign your name on the dotted line
The lights went out and nikki started 2 grind

Nikki the castle started spinning or maybe it was my brain
I can't tell u what she did 2 me
But my body will never be the same
Her lovin' will kick your behind oh, she'll show u no mercy
But she'll sho'nuff sho'nuff show u how 2 grind

Darlin' nikki woke up the next morning nikki wasn't there
I looked all over and all i found was a phone number on the
Stairs
It said thank u 4 a funky time
Call me up whenever u want 2 grind

Oh, nikki, ohhhh come back nikki, come back your dirty little
Prince
Wanna grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind


5. I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU

There u were
standin' all by yourself
lookin' like a puzzled child
till i came along
i made u laugh
u told me bout the years u cried
the tears that made u wanna die
& times we were wrong

([Chorus]:)
so just call my name
tell me that u feel the same
if you're always there 4 me
i'll be there 4 u (oh, whoa)

& if your worlds collide
i'll be standin' by your side
& if the rain should fall again
i'll be there 4 u

u say it's hard 2 know
u say you're trying 2 believe
the words u've heard 'em all b4
they've just turned 2 lies
but i can guarantee
the words i sing will carry on
i'll take your pain & make u strong
i'll make it all right

([Chorus])

( there 4 u { i'll be there}) i'll be there 4 u ( there 4..{there 4}...u )
i'll be there 4 u ( there 4 u { i'll be there} )
i've waited this long & i'm not letting go [Chorus]
( there 4 u {i'll be there}) i'll be there 4 u ( there 4..{there 4}...u )
i'll be there 4 u ( there 4 u { i'll be there} )


6. THE MAN I'LL NEVER BE

I'm reaching, i'm calling
But u don't seem 2 hear
I long 4 the hand of the man
The man who gave me life
No shoulder, 2 cry on
No law when my choice was wrong
My shadows of emptiness
I find them everywhere

[Chorus]:
I'll never know ( i'll never know )
The man i'll never be ( no, never)
I missed out on the arms that made me strong
But u won't get that from me (won't get that from me )
The woman, a mother
Can only fill the shoes
But a boy needs a man
2 teach him how 2 be a man
I'll never know ( i'll never know )
The man i'll never be ( no, never )
1 thing i know ( 1 thing i know )
Is my children will know who i am ( who i am )
Cuz, i missed out on the arms that made me strong
But u won't get that from me ( won't get that from me )

[Solo]

[Chorus]

1 thing i know ( 1 thing i know )
Is my children will know who i am (who i am )
4ever i intend that i will always be
The man i need 2 be

8. HEAVEN'S GOT ANOTHER HERO

He 1st appeared b4 me
in the form of a dream
he was an eminent man
graced with charm & dignity
he said 'live life the best u can'

as i rose up in my bed i realized this wasn't just a dream
cuz the picture on the wall was a face i knew, but never met b4

although we will never meet, eye 2 eye
now i know his spirit will guide me with a father's hand
& he's watching over me in the sky above

[Chorus]:
cuz, heaven, heaven's got another hero
as i've heard the angels sing
heaven, heaven's got another hero
& he's left me this offering of love

he shared philosophies like they were tales from days of old
thru his inspiration i learned a better way of life than i would
know alone
one thing we have in common is our humble beginnings
we took ambition & rose above it all without 4getting where we
came from

& on the day he died time was standing still
4 his soul was born again
& now his name will carry on
& if u close your eyes
u can still hear his smile
u can still hear his smile

[Chorus]
now that you're gone
i'm all alone
2 make it on my own
thru space & time
we'll reunite
i'll see u i'll see u on the other side

[Solo]

now in my children's eyes
i can hear u smile
& the world u've left behind still shines 4 us all 2 see
that's what makes me believe


9. FROZEN (MADONNA COVER)

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen when your hearts not open
You're so concerned with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken when your hearts not open

[Chorus]:
Mmmm if i could melt your heart
We'd never be apart
Give yourself to me
Cuz you hold the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know i'd suffer the same
If i loose you, my heart will be broken
Love is a bird, & she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen when your hearts not open

[Chorus]
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen when your hearts not open

[Chorus]
[Chorus]

If i could melt your heart


10. YOUR MAN

When i'm feeling all alone
All i gotta do is think about u
& when i'm lost & disillusioned
The mere sound of your voice sees me thru
& when you're so far away
It get's harder everyday
& i hope u feel the same as these few words
'i wanna spend 4ever, 2gether'

[Chorus]:
If u'll be my mother, my sister, my lady
I will never, ever let u down
I wanna be your father, your brother, your baby
But most of all...i wanna be your man

Baby, there's no rhyme or reason
That can explain how we've moved so fast
All i know is i can't live without u
I feel the test of time this love's gonna pass
& while you're my best friend u'll never hurt again
& all the promises i've made 2 u
Will be honored 4ever, 2gether


11. UNTIL THE MORNING COMES

Hello my friend
It's been a long time
This letter i send
I hope finds u well
It's been 'bout a year
Since u went away
But don't u despair
I've got a notion 2 sell
We'll meet in the middle
& take it 2 the end

[Chorus]:
We'll play & sing all night
We'll scream & hear the cries
We won't stop
Until the morning comes
We share a passion between us
We ask u 2 step inside
We'll ride on
Until the morning comes

The faces have changed
But the candles remain
We've been here b4
But still it's brand new
The mem'ries we made
We'll never 4get
We've only just begun
An endless rendezvous
We wouldn't change a thing
We'll take it 2 the top

[Chorus]
[Solo]

We wouldn't change a thing
We'll take it 2 the top


12. ANGEL/DEVIL

Mother never told me
that the monsters weren't real
sister never warned me 'bout your type
but i'm not scared of u
just because you're different from all the rest
I know just what 2 do
with an ogre in a dress

[Chorus]:
angel, u can't hide the little devil inside,
angel, u've lost your pride 2 the devil inside,
angel, u can't lose with the devil by your side,
angel, u can't choose between the devil in your mind

father says he remembers meeting 1 of your kind
brother says with shame he went down on u
y don't u see the shame of the ways u wanna bring ‘em down,
this so called fantasy, shatters everyone, everything around


13. MADISON

I took u in
When u were young & needed someone
So innocent,
I fell 4 u from day one

U came in2 my life
With no signs or warnings
My curious child
U go crazy when i'm gone

Rambunctious, yet so beautiful
How could u be so wild
Adventurous, yet oh so cool
Still u can make me smile
Sometimes i could just throw u 2 the wolves
Sometimes i just need your style

I can see u....i can feel u
Please tell me that you're never gonna go
Cuz i need u 2 stay

[Solo]

I call your name
& u usually come-a runnin'
But from time 2 time
U turn the other way
U shed a tear each time u induce my rage
The guilt surrenders my pride
U fill me with laughter
Yet u make me scream
This aint no average ordinary ride
U can rip & tear at the seams
I think i know what it means
U can't stand being left alone
I'll do the best i can
2 be your biggest fan
I won't just give the dog a bone
You'll always be a little girl
& as your tale unfurls
The song will still remain the same
Madison, i'll say again
I'll make u my best friend
Don't ever go away
