While playing in the field I rolled up stepped out reached out my hand and pulled a lackadaisy Yeah he wanted to rock n roll, fast and slow­ so my mind would blow Yeah it drives me crazy CHORUS: So move over rover let me see that clover Shake it up and down until you roll over So move over rover let me see that clover Shake it up and down until you roll over While I was looking for a reaction to mine I just wanted some squeeze Didn’t think about the juice To my surprise a voice came ringing out from inside I just wanted some squeeze Didn’t think about the juice It said we didn’t even try try try I’m beating here but I can’t really lie lie It said we didn’t even try try try I’m beating here but I can’t really lie lie (BRIDGE) It’s worth it So push/ push, push, push Watch it pour You’ll never need to do more Once you know how to do it Theres really nothing to it Just listen to your heart, it’s sets the beat apart

RYAN: My mama told me When I was just a little boy She said SARAH: Son if you wanna be heard now You better get up and make some noise RYAN: So I threw my arms up And I screamed my lungs out But nobody seemed to care That’s when I found out It’s a crazy world out there Yeah, I’m gonna lose my mind And that’s when mama she said CHORUS: There must be something I can hold onto You know my search will never cease There must be something I can hold onto Cause I can’t get no release SARAH: My daddy told me When I was just a Lil' Shrimp He’d say RYAN: You got to be a strong independent woman Don’t take no bullshit from nobody else SARAH: I’d say papa don’t you preach and try to understand If this world is my oyster I gotta dig for all I can But each time I try so hard All I’m picking up is sand That slips straight through my shrimpy hands That’s when he’d say CHORUS: There must be something I can hold onto You know my search will never cease There must be something I can hold onto Cause I can’t get no release Breakdown (instrumental) EXTENDED CHORUS: There must be something I can hold onto You know my search will never cease There must be something I can hold onto Up from the west down to the east There must be something I can hold onto Wish I could find a little peace There must be something I can hold onto ‘Cause I can’t get no release

SARAH: You’re like a flash of light When you’re coming out that sky with a million times its bite I’m anticipating the big bang Here you leave me all alone just like when this earth began Oh yeah you move so slow And I never really know which way you’re gonna go Why don’t you tell me what’s up Before this passion will erode I wanna explode PRECHORUS: Don’t fight this passion When it’s just a spark or you’re never gonna know what hit you I believe in you So believe in me too or we’re never gonna go I see you coming round­ then you come and go CHORUS: How can I get to know you better? How can I get to know you better? MICAH: I waited so long for you or maybe someone just like you to come my way, help me see some brighter days ok let's get right to the point, your lips on my lips, hips on my hips but first a date, another than wait here, hold my arm while we skate then comes the part that takes years, patience & fears, joy & tears but lady I want you to know I'll be right here And that's so far for sure, but right now I really really really got to know how we can fuse, implode, connect, then ka boom and explode PRECHORUS: Don’t fight this passion When it’s just a spark or you’re never gonna know what hit you I believe in you So believe in me too or we’re never gonna go I see you coming round­ then you come and go CHORUS: How can I get to know you better? How can I get to know you better? SARAH: like a flash of light MICAH: Lighting strike to the center of my eye, first time I saw, felt like mi' amore SARAH: I’m anticipating the big bang MICAH: Yeah so am I, why you think I fight with all my might to keep you like, like in my life SARAH: Oh yeah you move so slow MICAH: Baby I was cursed, forced to work away from home, but I was thinking of you ­­all along SARAH: Why don’t you tell me what’s up MICAH: Lady that's what I'm asking you, I wanna know if us two can just just... BREAK (SARAH) How do I get to know you Could I ever show you this thing in my heart I cannot describe It feels like an earthquake When you make my body shake With a force that Mother Nature cannot deny Now that you got my groove Why, why don’t, why don’t you make your move? Are you ready? Are you ready? C’MON!

This city’s trying to make ends meet Blocks full of people with no homes or heat This is a city living on the street Young baby mamas with younger mouths to feed This is a city that begs and pleads For a little fairness and equality Just past the skyline it’s a different scene Stand in my shoes and you’ll see what I mean Less than 1 block away from extreme poverty There are men and women with diamond gold jewelry Driving them luxury cars to those houses by the sea Did you ever need Or are your pockets running deep Ask what you can give To help your brother live (Bridge) Hope is like love Something you can’t see but you gotta believe Change is gonna come In the darkest night there’s always a light Let me give it to you I wanna give it to you one time, two times Watch our city shine Rap Verse: No words, your power is non-flip. The run pattern, throw it at them full speed, killing greed in the path. Why deny the truth? Living proof of victory: Django free. Shield of hope protecting me. Hearing words spoken before I awoke. Impossible you say? My experience, I'm deep in, where you [are] on the fence. No pretense, I be in the moves. Led by the spirit, freaky y'all, want to hear it? Real life on the plains, or what feels - a field of playing, run and catch, grow and fetch. Big bucks for running in circles, bunch of Urkles. Don't know what the color purple means, royal things keep dancing in your dreams. For goodness sake we can get more awake in the wake before. And after we can always take back what we own. Too late, seed planted in dome. Or noodle, I don't fool you, spool or tool you for anything. I know my source, not the magazine or reporter sorts. Some use words for sport, I use them [for the] right to fight, the dark for the light, Skywalker style.

I said that you did me right, Since that first night. The way you picked me up and spun me around the town, wooo! I thought you were out of sight! Yeah, yeah, your love is so good. To feel this real with no fear I never thought I could, but now I know I should. Now I’m finally living the life, and you’re here by my side. You know it took a long time, but it was worth the fight To be an all night do right woman with a do right man. Yeah, yeah I know for sure I found the love I was hoping, searching for And I found so much more. Now I finally understand what it takes to be a fine fly woman. CHORUS: I want you You’re a fine fly man I want you You’re so so fine You’re a fine fly man hey hey You make me say yes, yes, yes You know we’ll never know what the future holds But you gave me your word and I gave you mine and that’s more than gold It feels so good. To feel this real with no fear I never thought I should, but now I know I could. Now I finally understand what it takes to be a fine fly woman. CHORUS: I want you You’re a fine fly man I want you You’re so so fine You’re a fine fly man hey hey

Vidalia 05:34
I once had a dream that felt so real A vision I'm wishing will know that what I’m feeling is true That dream is you I once made a wish straight from my soul A need like a seed I planted and it grew That wish is you CHORUS: And I don't ever worry if you will stay Or walk away Or times you'll say we're through Because you love me too And I don't ever worry how lost it seems Provoked by dreams Or if life deems them true Because you love me too I know you love me too I once felt the glow from a star so bright My mind was closed up and the blinds wouldn't let the light shine through But somehow you do I once held a rose so fresh in bloom It reminded my heart of your kindness and it made room for two My lovely my you CHORUS: And I don't ever worry if you will stay Or walk away Or times you'll say we're through Because you love me too And I don't ever worry how lost it seems Provoked by dreams Or if life deems them true Because you love me too
