LYRICS
TELL ME SOMETHING
Hook:
Are you down for walking in the park?
Or should we just grab a bite to eat?
Do you want to kick it here with me?
Just tell me something
Could it be that you are looking at
The finest type of love you’ve ever seen
Wonder what you think that we could be?
Just tell me something
Hey, hey...How do you do?
I know I igged you off, but I aint mean to be rude
But if you were just playing, please don’t waste my time
Maybe other ones loved you, but the pleasure is mine.
Yeah, Well you know how it goes
Dealing with these people whether friend or foe
I got a lot of lessons that I’ve learned from the past
But hold up wait a minute, am I going to fast?
Let me start over
I'm P. Knight
In a suit by day. But by night, EyeRight
It's where all my passion meets the purpose inside
And if you ask me to play you my music I might
Nah, I don’t rap, but I love to talk
Your conversation’s fire, I’m so glad that it sparked
Yeah, I’m outgoing but I’m kind of reserved,
But it you catch my heart then I might be a perv
Hmm? Oh yeah, I love the Lord,
Even though my language sometimes is a sword.
But don't trip. He aint through with me yet.
You know the more we go through the more wise that we get.
And, oh my family? Well yeah you know they’re a vibe, lil hood,
real sweet, always a good time
I got some good friends and they hella cool
Maybe if this works out, you can meet them too.
Hook 2:
And we can go walking in the park,
Or we could just grab a bite to eat
Do you want to kick it here with me?
Just tell me something
Could it be that you are looking at
The finest type of love you’ve ever seen
Wonder what you think that we could be?
Just tell me something
What else? Well I love to love…
Strong and independent but I’m scared of bugs
But If I’m really mad, you just might see my thug,
And anything you need, I just might be the plug
My head stays in a book. And you may fall in love
if you taste what I cook.
So what about you, tell me what I need to know…
I aint in no rush, we can take it slow
But look, I should tell you the truth, either way this goes
I’ma write about you. Yeah, you laugh. What you mean is that bad?
Calculate the options and then do the math…
Like 1,2,3, and to the 4….
I like this little taste, but I need a little more.
You aint really cute, but I swear that you fine…
Sike, nah I’m just playing, would you like to be mine?
Hook 2:
BROKEN SIDES
What you gonna do when you came with good intentions,
but you're dealing with a broken heart?
I can't heal your scars when I'm looking in the mirror,
and I'm staring at a broken me.
But we refuse to go cause together, somehow,
our broken feels whole... Whoah.
Fuss and then we fight and then we holler,
then we find some good times in between.
Still, now I'm cut by all your pieces
so I can't see all the ways that I make you bleed.
You feel it in your soul that we're gone.
But when I ask, you lie and say I'm fine... Fine.
Ok, let's keep it real.
Want things my way. Yeah, ok. so that's "I"
But you stubborn too, so it sounds more like "We"
Both went wrong. What went wrong?
What you gonna do when you came with good intentions,
but you're dealing with a broken heart?
And now I'm wondering if we were doomed
and headed for the end right from the very start.
Or is the price we pay for loving hard this way?
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Cause it's a constant battle just to end up on the same page
Oh, and we keep pointing fingers only one-way,
when we should be looking both ways on this two-way street.
We're going through the motions, but you're cold as ice.
I'm cold as ice.
Oh, you gave your time. Yeah, ok. So did I.
Still there's no compromise,
So that sounds more like we,
Ohh, both went wrong. What went wrong?
I'd rather go cause I don't want to fight.
You choose to leave so don't place that on me.
No, no. What went wrong? What went wrong?
What you gonna do when you came with good intentions,
but you're dealing with a broken heart?
I can't heal your scars when I'm looking in the mirror,
and I'm staring at a broken me.
Baby, what went wrong? What went wrong?
DON'T LUV YA
Hook:
So now they're saying that I love you
But I swear that I don’t love you
My emotions say that I do
Hey, I might just want to fuck you
But they’re saying that I love you
I just can’t say that this is true
Still my friends saying that I love you
But I swear that I don’t love you
My emotions say that I do
Hey, I might just want to fuck you
But they're saying that I love you
So now I got a point to prove
You should know that you’re dealing with a girl
Who’s used to running things in this cold and rigid world,
still she wears her feelings hid in plain sight for you on her sleeve.
I aint got time for a nigga that can’t see
and really has no clue of what the hell to do with me
While I’m sitting here turning down like 2 or 3
to make the time for you...Ohh, you really should've been long gone…
That's why they're saying that I love you
But I swear that I don’t love you
My emotions say that I do
Hey, I might just want to fuck you
But they’re swearing that I love you
I just can’t say that this is true
Cause you're quiet just to hear me scream
Steady gassing me, but your promises on E
Here come your excuses, your put-put stuttering.
Why you front one me?
Got me like, Uhh-huh you really should've been long gone
Why you want to play your games with me?
Just cause you think you can?
Chuck the deuces, i’ll say peace.
Find a better man that is suited right for me.
But damn, I hate to leave
Hook:
Oh-oh, should've been long gone
But something kept me holding on to you
But I swear that I don't love you
BODY TALK
This here beat it feel very Rasta,
So when you hear that sexy thing go dutty wine in the corner
Ooh, your touch set me free, Buju Banton
Got me feeling like you could be my baby father
Ooh, heart rush when I know you're on the way
Quick sweep through the closet, cause I don't know what to wear
Maybe nothing is the way that I should play it
Ooh, pick me up, lick me up, get me off
Cause you
Hook:
Yeah you know that this body language is just for you
No other love in this world that would ever do
And the way that we speak in this convo is just for two
So let me body intimate talk with you
Yeah you know you’re the only lover
Who knows just what to do
No other one is as fluent in me as you
And you know that this secret language is just for two
Come here let me body intimate talk with you
Ooh, and we gone go till the morning light
Yeah we gotta roll, but we won’t cause you hold me tight
Then rewind and we roll into covers so intertwined
And we doing it again…and forget the time
Ohh, spell it out, let your fingers play
Like how you need no words
Cause your hands know what to say
Ohh, drip, drip boy you're making it rain
Give me wonderful feelings, boy give me all of you
Hook:
BLACK LOVE
Hook:
Your energy, brighter than the sunlight
Your love for me, sending me past cloud 9
Oh come and be with me in the moonlight
See the sky reflect our black love all night
Don’t you ever take your love from me
No matter what we go through
I gain a stronger view
Your dark skin's such a pretty hue
Now, help me lift the spirit up high
And Into me then you speak life
Lift our fists in solidarity
Your kisses stay honey sweet,
And our motion's like poetry,
You fit me like your lyrics in a tight beat
No, no, no
We don’t run, we find strength in the pain
And as we run this race, I let you lead the way, cause
Hook:
Khemist rap:
The black type’s the realist
Born in us
But it’s not ripe until it’s without limits
No floors walls or ceilings
My dinner become Cinnabon when I finished
Give you shivers after the spilling
I reach further
I’m in your spirit after the dealing
We bought each other healing
Other feelings deep within us
It’s etheric ...what the 4th dimension in us is revealing
They gotta bite the bullet ...
Cuz we love black and they think we shouldn’t ...
One in a million...See the sky's the mirror
Your energy gives power to my temple, Love.
Hook:
And we could make a little black love. Is that alright?
TRANSPARENTLY
I've been called the elusive one
A flight risk, I stayed on the run
From all forms of vulnerability
Thought it would make we weak
And I couldn't show no weakness, no
But the moment I laid eyes on you
I was stopped in my tracks. I knew...
That somehow we were meant to be
Babe you made me believe
Cause never would I perceive that
Hook 1:
Loving you (Oh the way I'm loving you it) feels so right
(Don't it feel so very nice like) When I'm right here with you
(When I'm laying here with you just) out of sight
And now I see clearly, (On and on and on) uh-huh
You love me transparently, (Ooh) alright
Swimming in a love that's deeper than the ocean
And I know your heart is open
So baby show me all your scars,
Then let's take a trip to Mars
We'll ride back on clouds that float and
I'm so glad you chose to put your trust in me
And your loyalty means everything
So when push comes down to shove
We'll always remain because
We aint letting go for anything
Hook 2:
Loving you (Oh the way I'm loving you it) feels so right
(Don't it feel so very nice like) When I'm right here with you
(When I'm laying here with you just) out of sight
And now I see clearly, (On and on and on) uh-huh
I love you transparently, (Ooh) alright
Bridge:
Oh, the way that I'm loving you, loving you
Want to stay here forever
Ooh, oh they way that I'm loving you, loving you
Want to stay here forever
Let me love you
Hook 1:
NEW WINGS
Never gonna lose this fire
I’ll hold this moment,
Even when the tears are flowing
And I feel so broken
Never will you take my freedom
My soul aint sold and
To the pain I paid my dues, so now I own it
So even when you tried to lock me out
Took everything, and you left me crawling on the ground
All the times that I helped you through,
And you turned around and left me with no parachute
Tried to trap me in a tight cocoon
Didn’t know that it was in that very place I’d bloom
Then I let all your hurtful lies
Grow the wings that would help me fly, now
Vamp:
You gonna see me light up all the night sky
You better know that I will always be fine
Yes, I’m a fighter that will always press on
Look now I got my hands up cause I’m airborne
I want to see your lighters in the night sky
I wanted you to know that you would be fine
I want to see the fighters that will press on
Come on let’s throw our hands up now we’re airborne
Hook:
Soar… fly high above the clouds
Soar… no they can’t touch you now
You can soar… higher to brand new things
Soar… fly high on brand new wings
Say, ooh, ooh
Never want to lose this fire, I’ll hold this moment
Even when the tears are flowing and my soul feels broken
And even if I can’t breathe a sound
Cause your knee is on my neck, trying to hold me down
And even if you try to take our lives,
You should know that our spirit will always rise
Yes, our colors will always shine,
Don’t you dare ever let them come and take your pride
Let every painful cry be the wings that will help you fly, now
Vamp:
Hook:
When they come and try to hold you down
Stand up bold and just hold your ground
Recognize all your beauty
Fly high and show them your new wings
