It's me

I might be the way everybody likes to say
I know what you're thinking about me
There might be a day you might have a certain way
But you don't have my luxuries
And it's me, I know I know my name
Cause I say it proud
Everything I want I always do
Lookin' for the right track
Always on the wrong track
But are you're catchin' are these tracks
That I'm layin' down for you

There's a song I was listenin' to up all night
There's a voice I am hearin' sayin' its alright
When I'm happy, I'm sad, but everything is good
Its not that complicated I'm just missundaztood

There might be a day everything, it goes my way
Can't you think I know I'm superfly?
I might see the world in a world inside of you
Then I just might say goodbye
And its my name I know, I say it loud cause
I'm really proud
Of all the things I used to do
Cause its the wrong track
Lookin' for the right track
And are you're catchin' are these tracks
That I'm layin' down for you

There's a song I was listenin' to up all night

Misery (featuring Steven Tyler)

Shadows are fallin' all over town
Another night and these blues got me down
Oh, misery I sure could use some company
Since you've been gone I ain't been the same
I carry the weight like an old ball and chain
Guess it's all meant to be
For love to cause such misery

Oh misery oh misery
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Seems it's my destiny
For love to cause me misery

And, oh I've been down this road before
With a passion it turns into pain
And each time I saw love walk out the door
I swore I'd never get caught again

But ain't it true? It takes what it takes
And sometime we get too smart to leave
One more heartache for me
Another night in misery
Oh yeah

Oh and oh misery oh misery
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Oh misery oh misery
Tell me why, why, why, why, why, why does this
Heart make a fool of me
Seems its my destiny
For love to cause misery, oh
Misery
Guess it's all meant to be
For love to cause me misery, oh, no, yeah
Misery

Don't Let Me Get Me

Never win first place, I don't support the team
I can't take direction, and my socks are never clean
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight cause I can't do nothin' right

Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can't take the person starin' back at me
I'm a hazard to myself

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
I wanna be somebody else, yeah

LA told me, "You'll be a pop star,
All you have to change is everything you are."
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
She's so pretty, that just ain't me

So doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe me something
A day in the life of someone else?
Cause I'm a hazard to myself

Don't let me get me no

Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets

Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets
Cause you're the only one that I know who'll keep them yeah
Dear, dear diary, I want to tell my secrets

Just Like a Pill

I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me
I think I took too much
I'm crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun

I can't stay on your life support,
There's a shortage in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine,
Cause its making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again
But she's being a little bitch,
I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better,
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill

I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills, they were different
Maybe I should get some help

I can't stay on your life support,
There's a shortage in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine,
Cause its making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again
But she's being a little bitch,
I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better,
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better,
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill

I can't stay on your life support,
There's a shortage in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine,
Cause its making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again
But she's being a little bitch,
I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better,
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better,
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better,
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears

Eventually

I am an opportunity and I knock so softly
Sometimes I get loud when I wish everybody'd just get off me
So many players you'd think I was a ball game
It's every man for themself, there are no team mates
This life gets lonely when everybody wants something
This might have been your fate
But they'll get their's eventually
And I hope I'm there

Surrounded by familiar faces without names
None of them know me or want to share my pain
They only wish to bask in my light, then fade away
To win my love, to them a game
To watch me live my life in pain
When all is done and the glitter fades, fades away
They'll get their's eventually
I hope I'm there

I drank your poison
Cause you told me it's wine
Shame on you if you fool me once
Shame on me if you fool me twice
I didn't know the price
You'll get yours eventually

So what good am I to you if I can't be broken?
You'll get yours, yes you'll get yours
Eventually

Get the Party Started

I'm coming up so you better get this party started
I'm coming up so you better get this party started

Get this party started on a Saturday night
Everybody's waiting for me to arrive
Sending out the message to all of my friends
We'll be looking flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lots of style check my gold diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what I mean

I'm coming up so you better get this party started
I'm coming up so you better get this party started

Pumping up the volume breaking down to the beat
Cruising through the Westside we'll be checking the scene
Boulevard is freaking as I'm coming up fast
I'll be burning rubber you'll be kissing my ass
Pull up to the bumper get out of the car
License plate says Stunner number one Superstar

I'm coming up so you better get this party started
I'm coming up so you better get this party started
Get this party started

Making my connection as I enter the room
Everybody's chillin' as I set up the groove
Pumping up the volume with this brand new beat
Everybody's dancing and they're dancing for me

I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

Lonely Girl (featuring Linda Perry)

I can remember the very first time I cried
How I wiped my eyes and buried the pain inside
All of my memories - good and bad - that's past
Didn't even take the time to realize

Starin' at the cracks in the walls
Cause I'm waiting for it all to come to an end
Still I curl up right under the bed
Cause it's takin' over my head all over again

Do you even know who you are?
I guess I'm tryin' to find
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
I want to be a star
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?

Lyin' awake watchin' the sunlight
How the birds will sing
As I count the rings around my eyes
Constantly pushing the world I know aside
I don't even feel the pain, I don't even want to try

I'm lookin' for a way to become
The person that I dreamt of when I was sixteen
Oh, nothin' is ever enough
Ooh, baby, it ain't enough for what it may seem

Do you even know who you are?
I'm still tryin' to find
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
Everybody wants to be
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
No

Sorry girl, tell a tale for me
Cause I'm wondering how you really feel
I'm a lonely girl, I'll tell a tale for you
Cause I'm just tryin' to make all my dreams come true

Do you even know who you are?
Oh, yeah, yeah
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
Oh, I wanted to be a star
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell, I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
I guess not, oh I guess not

Do you even know who you are?
Oh, I'm tryin' to find
A rising dream or a falling star?
Oh, I have a all these dreams
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
No, no
Do you even know who you are?
A rising dream or a fallen star?
Is life good to you or is it bad?

Respect (featuring Scratch)

1 and 2 and 3 and 4
This my rap song

1-2-3-4
I get really sick and tired of boys up in my face
Pick up lines like "What's your sign" won't get you anyplace
When me and all my girls go walking down the street
It seems we can't go anywhere without a car that goes "Beep-beep"

Cause this body is a priceless piece of lovin' unconditionally
Yes sir
So, Mr. Big-stuff, who you think you are?
You was thinkin' you's gonna get it for free
Now, now, now,

Hey ladies
(Yeah!)
Let 'em know it ain't easy
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Let's come together
Sista's
(Yeah!)
Its time to be greedy
Nothin' good comes for free

Mirror on the wall, damn I sure look fine
I can't blame those horny boys, I would make me mine
When I pass you in a club, "Ooh, lala!" you gasp
Back up boy, I ain't your toy, or your piece of ass

Cause this body is a priceless piece of lovin' unconditionally
Yes sir
So, Mr. Big-stuff, who you think you are?
You was thinkin' you's gonna get it for free
Now, now, now

Hey ladies
(Yeah!)
Let 'em know it ain't easy
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Let's come together

Let 'em know it ain't easy
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Let's come together
Sista's
(Yeah!)
Its time to be greedy
Nothin' good comes for free
Nothing good comes for free

No jealousy, no envy girls, c'mon, let's work it out
No freebies in the limousine, that's not what its about
Let 'em know there's work to do, give it up he won't call you
Respect is just a minimum, go on girl and get you some

1-2-3-4
Ladies

Numb

No sleep, no sex for you from your ex-girlfriend
I was too deep, I can't let you come and just jump in
At times I would push my feelings aside to let you feel
I'm novicane I'm numb and nothing's real

Like the coldest winter, I am frozen from you

I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb

But the tears were silent inside you see
But the tears were silent inside you see

I laid there quiet, watched you have your way with me
I might have cried, the tears were silent inside you see
You called me names, made me feel like I was dumb
I didn't feel a thing and now I'm gone, gone,gone

Like a battered child I got used to your pain
But you know it's cause

I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb

I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb
Numb numb numb numb

Don't feel a thing, I don't feel the pain
Numb, numb, numb
Said

I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb

I was weak before
Now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I was weak before
Said now I'm numb, numb, numb
Numb numb numb
No, no, no, no

18 Wheeler

You know you can't keep me down
I said you can't keep me down

Hey, hey, man! What's your problem?
I see you tryin' to hurt me bad
Don't know what you're up against
Maybe you should reconsider
Come up with another plan
Cause you know I'm not that kinda girl
That'll lay there and let you come first

You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give up
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground

You can't keep me down, down, down, down

Can't keep me down, down
Can't keep me down, down, down
Can't keep me down, down

Hey, hey, girl! Are you ready for today?
You got your shield and sword
Cause its time to play the games
You are beautiful
Even though you're not for sure
Don't let him pull you by the scar
You're gonna get your feelings hurt

You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give up
You can hang me like a slave

You can't keep me down, down, down, down

Everywhere that I go
There's someone waitin' to chain me
Everything that I say
There's someone tryin' to short-change me
I am only this way
Because of what you have made me
And I'm not gonna break

You can push me out the window

Gone to California

This city of brotherly love
Is full of pain and hurt

To find my pot of gold
Corruption on every corner
Hustlers sellin' sweets

A bullet took another son away
Why?

The sun is always shinin', shinin'
Or at least that's what I'm told

There's a better life for me, yes
I'm goin' to California
I'll write and tell you what I see
I'm goin' to California
Somebody say a prayer for me
I'm goin' to California
I'm goin' fast as I can

Family Portrait

Uh, uh, some deep shit, uh, uh

Momma please stop crying, I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breaking as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you said

You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin up in World War Three
Never knowin what love could be, you'll see

I promise I'll be better,
Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave

Daddy please stop yelling, I can't stand the sound
Make mama stop crying, cause I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says it's true
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love you, too

I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don't wanna go back to that place,
But don't have no choice, no way

I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a step-brother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name

In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that

Oh

My Vietnam

Daddy was a soldier he taught me about freedom
Peace and all the great things that we take advantage of
Once I fed the homeless, I'll never forget
The look upon their faces as I treated them with respect
And

This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score

Momma was a lunatic, she liked to push my buttons
She said I wasn't good enough, but I guess I wasn't trying
Never like school that much, they tried to teach me better
But I just wasn't hearing it
Because I thought I was already pretty clever
And

This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score

This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
They keep on dropping bombs
And I keep score

What do you expect from me?
What am I not giving you?
What could I do for you to make me okay in your eyes?

This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
They keep on dropping bombs
And I keep score

This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score

This is my Vietnam
This is my Vietnam
