Motives & Thoughts

Hey.
So I wanted to take you back into '98 .
seriously she's the illest female alive!
MY IDOL.INSPIRATION
Lauryn Hill
"motives & thoughts"
def jam '98
Rotating bodies, confusion of sound
Negative imagery, holding us down
Social delusion, clearly constructed
Human condition, morals corrupted
Trapped in reaction, lawlessness war
Dissatisfaction from bowels to core
Devil’s technology, strategy for
Human mythologies, urban folklore
Sick of psychology, counterfeit cure
Wicked theology, robbing the poor
Scheme demonology mislead the pure
Strictly strategically studying war
Light shown in darkness, image exposed
Few can see through the new emperor’s clothes
Lustful this hustle turn humans to hoes
When the blind lead the blind
Just more trouble and woes
It’s the mind that they chose
Its designed to stay closed
Standard of jokers, court just a logic
Sick looking cosmics, from schoolyards to college
Primitive man with civilize knowledge
System collapse and he still won’t acknowledge
God is the saviour, studies behavior
Trying to fix the mix mind that he gave ya
Stiff-necked scholars on prescription meds
Wishing their problems were all in their heads
Morale dilemma, pride is the root
Misguided from youth, heart divided from truth
Egyptians and Grecians, spiritually dead
Imperially led, by the gods in their heads
Motives and thoughts
Industrial wealth
Global economy, in it for self
Heart full of madness, covered with kind
Pleasure designed to take over your mind
Furnished in godliness, painted in good
This tainted priesthood got real saints misunderstood
While classes in government, set up the veil
And cultivate minds for more mythical tales
Typical Hollywood follies good girl
While vice and corruption take over the world
Motives and thoughts
Check your motives and thoughts
Blind with the wickedness, deep in your heart
Modern day wickedness is all you’ve been taught
Lied to your neighbors, so you get ahead
Modern day trickery is all you’ve been fed
Motives and thoughts
Check your motives and thoughts

EMPTY

Hey.
Song of the Week. Umm... Yea. I fell asleep listening to his ipod & woke up in the late hours of the night to this song. I really didnt listen to it at the time. But woke up the next morning curious. Listened to it, & fell in love.
This is for you.
"Empty"-Raheem Devaughn
[SPOKEN:]
Close your eyes and imagine life with me
Now imagine life without me
Could you do it?
I couldn't imagine life without you
Without you, I'd be... empty
To lie in the bed alone-empty
Shotgun in the ride-empty
My heart, my heart-empty
[VERSE 1:]
Ooh, you know you're lovesick when ya
Answer the phone and you hope to hear her voice
Ooh, you know you're lovesick when ya
Shut it down & make that girl your only choice
Ooh, lovesick when
When you wake up in the morning (just to fix her breakfast)
And I'll tell you how you know, your heart'll tell you so
When you found something good, you just can't let it go
One might spend a whole lifetime
Tryin' to find, the love that I have here with you
My heart & my... speaks for you
Without you I'd be lovesick and empty (I'd be empty without ya)
Love, so empty (ooh, so empty without ya)
Lovesick & empty (I'd be empty without ya)
So empty (So empty)
[VERSE 1:]
Ooh, you know you found the one
When you get on bended knee and words come out like marry me
Ooh, yes, you know you found the one
When the seconds feel like heaven in the blink of an eternity
Ooh, you know you found the one
When there's no thought of time and she's always on your mind
Ooh, you know you found the one
When you wanna be a better man, and man up like you can
[CHORUS]
Only gonna be alone
Searching the world for whatcha got at home
That would be a tragedy
If you miss out on what's meant to be
[Repeat]
[CHORUS]
[SPOKEN:]
Right after a light rain, have you ever seen a rainbow that touched the sky?
Where it meets next to a pot of gold
That's what your beauty... your beauty reminds me of
Like a full moon, it hangs next to the heavenly clouds from which you came
You're my shining star
I'd be lovesick
(listen to it.) it's nice.
xoxoxoxoxo (oh la la la) MUAH!
