1.Cybersingle
- CHORUS:
I am the cybersingle, that is me
Come and get my download
2 be free or not 2 be free,
That is the question, see?
All the beautiful ones are with me
See, it's lovely
As the media
tightens (What?) its grip on U (U know)
And the beast continues (What?) 2 split in 2 (Listen y'all)
Superman steps in the phone booth (Word) one more time (Come on,
come on)
2 drop another cybersingle (Drop it) life-saving rhyme (It's
lovely)
Lookin' for a sound that'll make U organize
Dead Prez. and Rage conspire 2 open up your eyes (Can U see?)
What good is a mind of a man if it's run by another? (Nothing)
Take back your conscienceness, my sisters and brothers!
CHORUS
(Yeah yeah)
(That is me)
(Download)
(Free)
It's lovely
Can't leave
the keys in my brand-new car
Cuz U don't know it's wrong 2 steal
The devil got U thinkin' he's invisible
But how he make U act is real
Stupid
Talk a beat
Turn around, long hand, come on
Cybersingle
Television got your mind but U got 2 get free
Cybersingle

Jesus saves
Cybersingle
Sister and
brothers have love 4 one another! {x2}

2.2045:
Radical Man
(Non NPGMC track from the Bamboozled soundtrack)
{Spoken with crowd cheering in background}
How can a non-musician discuss the future of music from anything other
than a consumer point of view?
These few people make decisions for the bulk of us, without consulting
any of us.
Sales and distributions of our futures, uh!
If this world were fair and right, they'd give up the car keys this
very night./Damn!
(Hit it!)
Two, three, four, five, six, seven/Flash forward, 2045
What did you stand for in the life of your pride/When faced with the
final judgment of today
Who profitted from the game/That you and your niggas play
Radical man/Save the life/Come on take a stand
Give that money back/Let's make a plan/The brand new currency
Taking care of one another/You and me
(Radical man)
Flash backwards, 1999 (backwards, 1999)/In a world shot full of
viruses, see (Tell me)
How'd y'all stay alive? (Everyone of y'all)/Depending on this so called
man
For everything you got comes from his hand/Food, water, the clothes you
wear
How many of y'all niggas really care?/To care (to care)
Let's define this word nigga (define, define)/Someone who stays high
(high)
Watching their life go by (by, by)/Someone content with riding behind
(ride that)/Nigga
They come in all colors/White, black, Puerto Rican
Is that the main niggas we're speakin' about?/Wear suits and buy and
sell corporations
With only one thing in mind/(Only one thing in mind)(Break it up!)
That is the destruction of the so-called radical man/By 2045
(Let's get radical)/Watch me now!/School's in the yard, digital games
When the war broke out we called your name/(What's your name?)
Everyone of color put on the front line/Holocaust Avenue, 2009
Get an education, good job who says? (say)/Fool with the gold rush
drinkin' Alize
I don't play nobody that's makin' no sense today/You got your own mind,
so you think it's ok (It's not ok)
Telling themselves lies, Mos Def say/Where you gonna stay, nigga
(Where you gonna stay nigga)/(Oh my God, it's the Green Mile!)
What's up y'all?/What y'all wanna do? (Talkin' about a radical man)
Ain't nobody up in their crew no?/I could really run that computer
Make it flow (flow flow flow flow flow)/If you ain't born with it
(Radical man)
Talkin' about the two and four, hit me!
Wait up/What George say., all around/Alright
We claim Miles Davis, not Michaelangelo/We playin' D-flat in the funk
You better act like you know/We don't care, what Albert Einstein did
I'd rather know, rather know (what?)/How to build a pyramid
Hey!/James Brown, Chuck D. and Jimmy/Turn me up louder now
I don't think y'all hear me (I don't hear ya)/2045/We will stay alive
2045 (yeah, everybody now)/The war is on outside
And the whole pop scenario is just nothin' but a dream/(A bad dream)
The day you will wake is the day you get the real cream, nigga
Radical man (Radical man)/Who got the gift, who got the plan?
Radical man (Radical man)/Who got the gift, who got the plan?
This is the funk the industry most fears/Artists getting together
In a locker board of directors/I don't think so
Nobody's running this/Let's talk about DNA, nigga/The radical man
{Spoken with crowd cheering in background}/Where will you be in 2045?
30 million people right now, are being wiped off the face of the planet
by disease.
They claim they have no cure./In the matter of a blinking eye,
all of us right now can testify./Take a stand, radical man.
3.U Make
My Sun Shine
Come on over here baby, uh/Put your ass right down here on this
throne,
yeah
Don't you say n'ere a little word/Until you learn how to leave, leave
that devil alone
Let me run it down, I keep your paper coming in real steady
I could tell you what the I in the pimp stands for/If your ready,
ready, ready
Your eyes are wide shut you cannot even see/That behind your back, he
calls you names
But you're still a queen to me
CHORUS:
In this trusting place you can erase/Every tear that ever rolled down
your weary face
All the time you waste in that paper chase/Is time better spent in
these arms of mine
Heaven sent angel so divine/You're my complement
U make my sun shine/U make my sun shine at night
(ooh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh)
Listen to me now baby/Let me tell ya what I gotta do (tell ya)
I gotta stop lettin' the devil/(define what it takes to be a woman)
Stop lettin' him tell me what it takes to be a woman
Gotta never stop believing in me, myself, and I/Pretty little lies that
the rich keep using
I opened up my eyes,/The only reason they're winning is 'cause I keep
losing
Gotta get back to my right place/This is the subject of my show
We love the human race/This is where I belong
Chorus
Wonderfully, truly, caring you make the words I wish in every song.
Come here now pretty baby let me take you somewhere and put you real
close
We've both been in the dark much too long
Now that we got the knowledge and the truth we can both be strong
Kings and Queens gettin' it on!
Trusted place you can erase/Every tear that ever rolled down your weary
face
All the time you waste (wasted time)/In that paper chase
(Can't you see that it's all time better spent right here)
Is time better spent in these arms of mine,/(Sweet angel)
Heaven sent angel so divine (You're so divine)
You're my complement/U make my sun shine
U make my sun shine at night
Feel me/Sun shine, sun shine, sun shine at night
Doobay doobay doobay doo
4.Underneath
The Cream
Wait a minute.../Turn the, turn the phones up/Yeah...cool
Lookin' out the window of a big black limousine
Thinkin' bout your thighs/Wishin' I was somewhere in between
In one single motion/Deep inside your ocean/I just wanna be
Underneath the cream/Can't stop thinkin' about ya'...thighs
Somewhere in between/That's where I wanna be, that's where I wanna be
Underneath the cream/You and I/Somewhere in between/Your thighs
Cell phone, passport/All your inhibitions/Spread out on the floor
(Deep inside)/Deep inside your life-givin' ocean, sugarpop
Rests my consciousness just a little more/Is what I wanna do, babe
So talk to me/Don't get me started/Come into this wet dream-eternal
Pretend I am you and teach me without shame/Take my hand, put it in the
place
That turned you out the most last time you came
Useless deliberation, the beast of frustration/Trust me, I know
Somewhere in between seven days and nights/That's how far, baby
You wanna go?
Underneath the cream/Can't stop thinkin about ya'...thighs
Somewhere in between/That's where I wanna be, that's where I wanna be
Underneath the cream/You and I/Somewhere in between/Your thighs, your
thighs
Somewhere in between this wet dream, it seems/I never shoulda let you
go
Now that you've returned I yearn to learn/All the feelings you never
dared to show
Come into this wet dream eternal/Pretend I am you and let's, Oh
Somewhere in between, I dream/Underneath the cream
Tell me, tell me, tell me/Whatcha waitin' on baby, tell me
We can do this thing, yeah/Underneath the cream
We need to get right down/Cuz I got something
Groovy groovy groovy.../(Groovy underneath the cream)
It's groovy underneath the cream/Underneath the cream
5.One Song
I am the universe/ The sun, the moon and sea/I am the energy
4 that is what I believe/ I can be contradiction/Cuz that is all I see
But I am the universe/And the universe is me
I am the one song (Ah yes)/And that one song is free
All things come from this one song (Yes they do, uh)/The garden and the
tree
If everything, everything is present/What is will always be
This here is the first and the last song/And all that come between
When language falls like a wounded soldier/And it's covered by the sea
All the sadness/All these unanswered questions/Keep me company
(Company, company, company come 2 me, come 2 me please!)
Here at the center of it all/(I know) I know that U can only come from
me
(I am the universe)/ Yes it will, oh, yes it will (The sun, the moon
and sea)
Where else is it gonna come from but me? (I am the universe)
Oh my, my my my my my my my universe (The universe is me)
(I am the universe)/(The sun, the moon and sea)/(I am the universe)
(We are the universe) {x2}/(The universe is me)
One truth (One truth)/One song (One song)/One energy
6.U're
Still The One
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
Bridge:
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
Chorus:
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
7.When Eye
Lay My Hands On U
The message you're about to hear is not meant for transmission
Should only be accessed in the privacy of your mind
The words are intense so my dear if you dare to listen
Take off your clothes/Meet me between the lines
Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane
Breast to lips to cheek to mane/I pull your hair, you will feel no pain
Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game/Feel ashamed and ordained
When I lay my hands on you
The touch you're about to feel is the one you've been wishin' for
It's been here like an echo inside your space and time
It's about to get freaky cause of places that I'll be kissin'
Are the places that no other man could ever find
Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane
Breast to lips to cheek to mane/I pull your hair, you will feel no pain
Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain
The only joy in this forsaken game (God forbid)
Feel ashamed and ordained (God forbid)/When I lay my hands on you
Nobody knows/Like God knows/Where the deepest part of your river flows
Snap Snap/Unto these nylon hose/Around your thigh my finger goes slowly
Like a cat tip-toes/Until I reach the capstone
I will touch thee in the softest manner/Like Europa in the hands of
Santana
Are you ready for the touch that makes you go insane
Breast to lips to cheek to mane/I pull your hair, you will feel no pain
Are you ready for the only forever we'll both obtain
The only choice in this forsaken game/Feel ashamed and ordained
When I lay my hands on you/When I lay my hands on you
8.Peace
Artist - somebody didn't hear me (What'd he say?)
Artist - formerly known as Prince/You gotta get your peace on
Peace, whoa oh/Peace/That's what we're here for/And not to war
When the war upon people of color thru needles/Designed to disease
instead of relieve
When it ceases/I'll be a man of peace
(Say what)/When this mask of vendetta/Like tears on the face of Coretta
Roll down and go away/I'll be happier (Happier)/I'll be a man of peace
Everybody say!/Peace, whoa oh/Peace/That's what we're here for
(That's what we're here for)/And not to war
When the time that we spend/Watching TV depends on
Whether or not it destroy or transcend/Then I won't need
(I won't, I won't)/Won't need a warranty
When the power of the hour is not yours but is ours
And the faces we see reflect all that we be indeed There'll be a
jubilee
Everybody say/Peace, whoa oh/Peace/That's what we're here for
(That's what we're here for)/And not to war/Bass
(Talkin' about freedom)/The rewards that we share will be based on
what's fair
And not the curliness or the thick of our hair/Real competition, if you
dare!
Music is our middle name/And we don't wanna play your game
So when the mergers you make are with us/
And you take a fair slice of the cake/That we bake then you break
That would be real cool/But y'all wanna act like fools!
(What's up with that?)/Can't we all just get along?
And have peace, whoa oh/Peace/That's what we're here for
And not to war/Peace/Peace/Peace, whoa oh/Peace
That's what we're here for/And not to war
In case some of y'all didn't hear it right/I didn't call him, his name
wasn't the artist
Artist, Artist/Artist - every syllable must be heard
Artist - formerly known as Prince/You got to get your peace in
Y'all tryin' to start something up in here
9.The Work
- Pt 1
Ready?/(Willing to do The Work)
Every time I watch the other people news/I see a false picture of
myself, another one of you
They try to tell us what we want, what to believe/Didn't that happen in
the Garden
When somebody spoke to Eve?
But I'm willing/Willing to do The Work/Willing to do what I gotta do
I'm willing/Willing to do The Work/Tell me, tell me - say, what about
you?
Look around and tell me your Sun is Risen/When your brothers and
sisters are in the Fall
People tell me../What is left to give when our work is done?
What do we own besides the right to crawl?
See we're living in a system that the devil designed/(Think we ain't?)
And suffering from this devil's most heinous crime/He's tried to keep
us from the reason we were born
That is to be the living truth in human form.
But you see I'm willing/Willing to do The Work
Let me do, do what I gotta do/People I'm willing
Willing to do The Work/Tell me now, tell me now, tell me now - what
about you?
Willing to do The Work/Are you willing?
Willing to do The Work/Are you willing?
Willing to do The Work/Are you willing now?/Willing to do The Work
This work, this work/Is not an easy task
But this is the work we must do for Revelation to come to pass
This work, this work/Is the kind that turns your back on the Ruling
Class
By putting them in their place just like the past/Look out!
Gotta lotta work to do/Gotta lotta work to do
Nothing can stop us/Whatever's in our way
We got to go through to get to it/I heard somebody say that they're
willing
Willing to do The Work/Willing to do what I gotta do
People tell me/I'm willing/Willing to do The Work
Tell me now - what about you?"/Willing to!
Welcome to The Work/Thank you

11.
The Funky Design
Just when U
thought it was safe 2 go outside
I hit your ass with another funky design
And it's real good
U thought it wasn't when U shoulda
Checked yourself before U got another foot in your ass
And now it comes 2 pass another phat shot from the higher class
That's right, U're still a rookie, see
Kickin' it with the grown folks in the wrong key
Honey please, U need 2 find
Somebody that'll hip U 2 the funky design
CHORUS:
The funky design
The funky design
The funky design
Shouts out 2 the
rookies, put it in the bank
And let it gain a cent or 2 until it just stanks
And flows, your nose will know
When it's all wrinkled, then it's good 2 go
On the fire, I would be a liar
If I didn't say I wanna take U higher
And hip U 2 the one-eyed bass
Listen 2 the solo while it pleads my case
Honey please, U
need 2 find
Somebody that'll hip U 2 the funky design
12.Northside
This is how we funk on the Northside!
This is how we funk on the Northside!
Players ain't gonna stop till it's sold
This is how we funk on the Northside!
Get paid in the Moneyapple, got to be bold
When you cop your paper next Friday
This is what I want you all to do
Nevermind the vapor, come up my way
We got something freaky for you
Never you mind what you find in your state of mind
Your city or part of town
When you get in the Moneyapple
Baby you gotta get down
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
This is how we funk on the Northside!
Players ain't gonna stop till it's sold
This is how we funk on the Northside!
Get paid in the Moneyapple, got to be bold
When you get tired of the music
That's playin' on that no funk radio
We gotta taste the bass
That'll take your face to the ace of spades
U never ever thought your ugly face would go
Bass! (One time)
Never you cry when you buy yourself a single from the NPG
Got joints for days
Chart be gone, we get it on stage baby
Aftershows on the internet players getting paid!
This is how we funk! (Oh yeah!)
This is how we funk! (Hey!)
Everybody say!
This is how we funk on the Northside! (Oh, oh)
Players ain't gonna stop till it's sold
This is how we funk on the Northside!
Get paid in the Moneyapple, got to be bold
With a bone 2 play
We can find the mayor
Talk about that piece of land
Fill a garden, y'all
Fill a fan with some hand-picked images like the man
Sweet potatoes like you never seen
Martin wasn't the only one that had a dream
You know what I mean?
This is how we funk on the Northside!
(This is how we funk)
Players ain't gonna stop till it's sold
This is how we funk on the Northside!
Get paid in Moneyapple, got to be bold
This is how we funk on the Northside! (NPG)
Player's ain't gonna stop till its sold
This is how we funk on the Northside! (Northside)
Get paid in the Moneyapple, got to be bold

This is how we funk on the Northside!
You got to be bold (You got to be bold)
This is how we funk on the Northside!

13.Supercute
She arrived on a 747/About 20 to 11
She comes to see him, him as in me/She comes to see
And it's never complicated/Other women cannot fade it
Whenever I call/She gets dressed up and all/Supercute
CHORUS
Maybe it's cause she comes from East L.A./But every time I see her body
on display
I gotta call her name from the DJ booth/Strobe light flash and you know
the truth
Baby got game, she'll take your loot/Keys to the crib with no dispute
See her dancing in her birthday suit - Supercute
Together we wonder how we got enslaved and why
(It's time to get freedom for our people)/Jericho falls when we all
discern the lie
Yo, why the man wanna lie?/I look at her eyes go wild, she smiles -
Supercute
CHORUS
On a dare I wanna see if she will share/The kinda toys she uses when
I'm not there
None at all she swears/I don't care (I don't care ) I make her buy
another one
And a new dress to wear/(vibrator noise)
Goes the toy against her curly hair/Now she must confess
How she really like to play/Or if she don't, I lower the speed
And bad words she'll say/Tell me how you play, how you play
Even in her anger she's still/Supercute
CHORUS
Shake it around/When you see her dancing in her birthday suit -
Supercute
14.When
Will We B Paid?
When will we be paid for the work we've done
When will we be paid for the work we've done
Fought in your wars, in every land/To keep this country free, y'all
For women, children, and men/But anytime we ask for pay or a loan
That's when everything seems to turn out wrong
We've been beat up, called name, shot down, and stoned
Every time we do right, somebody say we're wrong
Tell me/When will we be paid for the work we've done
When will we be paid for the work we've done
Listen../We worked this country (Say it!)/From shore to shore (Well)
Our women cooked all your food (Food)/And washed all your clothes
We picked cotton and laid the railroad steel/(Said we laid it)
Worked our hands down to the bone at your lumber mill/(At your lumber
mill)
Tell me/When will we be paid for the work we've done
When will we be paid for the work we've done
Will we ever be proud/Of "My country, tis of thee"
Will we ever sing out loud/Sweet land of Liberty
When will we be paid (Tell us)/For the work we've done (Well?)
I wanna know/I wanna know/I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know
(When, when, when, when)
When will we be paid for the work we've done/(Why can't we be paid?)
When will we be paid for the work we've done
When will we be paid for the work we've done
When will we be paid for the work we've done
Oh, oh when, when will we be paid?
We've given up our sweat, now/And all of our tears
Stumbled through this life/For more than 300 years
I, I wanna know, the work we've done/When will be paid for the work
we've done
15.Silicon
Welcome to the slaughterhouse
Silicon, Rope of silicon ,Just a rope of silicon ,Rope of silicon
One day you'll get outside the doo-rag
When you really want to contemplate this (yeah jacked up)
Paranormal situation that your people got into, can I hip you
Long ago who considered the outcome
Thinking that a cat like you would be troublesome
And stuck you in a mind tangling curriculum
Guaranteed to leave you in the state of delirium
While all along teaching their kids in the valley to become unlike you
- broke and dumb
Chorus
On a magical rope of silicon you can bet that they'll be chilling in
Babylon
Thinking about a way that they can split the proton
While U eating on a bloody chicken and dead prawn
Mickey D. shake and a filet mignon
Swearing up and down that you're the picture of health,now come on
Chorus
Leave that blood alone
Dont you know that dead blood kills interferons
Making the immune system victim 2 whereupon
Any known virus can boot up and log on (w)ww.U.com
Chorus
Ah youve found me,now that youre here
Let's talk about the U in this con
If your getting bored don't funk then just yawn
This is the kind of stuff that requires patience
Never mind the rhyme just relax and wax the song it's on and on and on
and on
Aint gonna stop til the early morning,break it down ,later on come the
break down y'all
Dance ,dance,dance,dance,dance,dance on the funk
Dance,dance on the funk
Dance,dance on the funk
Dance,dance on the funk
Dance,dance on the funk
This is why U were looking 4 me ? check it
Let's talk about the U in this con
If your getting bored don't funk then just yawn
This is the kind of stuff that requires patience
Don't think ,just wax on
If U R the eye that is the pawn,
U begat the dead fruit of armageddon
Thick skin reigns in the realm of the pseudynom
While the blows taken by the silly con
The family does well with God 2 keep it strong
Never a paradox ,never a hexagon
U + he or she keep going on
Without another one of U in the title of this song
Goes on and on and on and on and on and on
Chorus
Dance,dance on the funk (repeat to fade)
16.The
Daisy Chain
Oww!/Scream one more time/Scream, scream one more time/Oww!
Bless my soul, save my name/I ain't never goin' down to the daisy
chain!
Just a young man tryin' to feel the flow/(Flow, flow, flow)
Got no idea what the chain is for/(No idea, No idea)
The lesson on the t.v. blush and bye/(Yeah, yeah)/Cop a teeny
whiplashed, but still he tries
Bless my soul, save my name/I ain't never going down to the daisy

I knew a dancer, her name was Kelly/Nickname Candy with a hoop through
her belly
A tongue ring with a voice to sing/With a body like whooo, die peace,
everything
See I used to deliver pizza to her house/But tonight she said, "Yo,
Come in and chill out"
I came in, sat down, I was lookin' around/What I found, I found she was
steppin' out a gown
I had to stop that girl in her tracks/I said let me tell you something
by a guy that raps
Yo, why buy you if he can just lease you/Why iron you if he can just
crease you
Why try you if he won't breed you/Why drive through if he won't eat you
Why V.I.P. you if he can nose bleed you/Ok, stop cryin'/Sorry, I'll
leave you
Daisy chain/Daisy chain/Daisy chain/Daisy chain/Daisy chain
This will make your hips vibrate, make your hip vibrate
This will make your hips vibrate, make your hip vibrate
Make your hip vibrate, make your hip vibrate/Vibrate

Daisy chain/Alright, what's happenin'?/Minneapolis, do it till we die
Sugar cheezies/(Laughter to fade)
17.Splash
I called you on the phone/You knew it was me all along/You
didn't even
say hello
Cause you don't need words to let me know/All the things that you do to
me
You fulfill my every fantasy
Splash - I'm under your power/Splash - I could go for hours
Splash - You could devour me/And I'd only want you more
Oh, when you make love to me/I witness things I never thought I'd see
Cherry sugar blue to green (into green)/Fireworks and rain in every
scene
Oh, I love it when you play with me/
Ask your mama if you can stay here with me
Splash - I'm under your power/Splash - I could go for hours
Splash - You could devour me/And I'd only want you more
Our love is a real one/Together we'll have so much fun
You go from room to room/Leaving traces of your sweet perfume/If I
could I'd bottle it
Everybody should know the feelin' I get/When I'm in your cool embrace/
Your lips, your arms, your legs, your face
Splash - I'm under your power/Splash - I could go for hours
Splash - You could devour me/And I'd only want you more
I want you more and more and more
Splash/Splash/Splash/Splash/Splash/Splash.

All you can hear is the sound of my voice
Everytime I touch your face/You will fall into a deep sleep
A deep sleep/ A deep sleep
You are the reason I believe that I was born
You're always there to hold me whenever I am scorned
I'd give my love to you, just to know your name
Shall I call you Savior just the same?

22.Stone
(Non-NPGMC track from The Work bootleg CD set)
You used to be the best of me
You were the only one
I watched you walk your life when all I did was run
You put me on a throne and left me all alone
Watched me turn to stone
Some sweet lovers song is what I used to sing
Songs from the book of love, we laughed at everything
We gave them may to may,we gave them light and day
Now who can say what goes,nothing left but stone
Stone,nothing left but stone
At first he leaves this,autumns in the air
Whats left of love is dangling somewhere
Should we cherish it and treat it with respect
Hanging round so long there aint nothing left
Sweet lovers song we washed away the dirt
Songs from the book of love but here I ever heard
We gave them may to may,we gave them night and day
Now who can say what goes,nothing left but stone
Stone (aint nothing left but stone)
Should we go our seperate ways or give this one more try
What is there left to build on when love's foundation dies
whoo oh ohh
Seems like we could work this out ,last time I checked we'd grown
Take your icy hand and press it on this heart of stone,stone
To be loved (to be loved) to be loving
Isn't it what you make it
Isn't it when 2 people give more than they're taking
Isn't it when no one man deserves a saviour
That a man comes,running with the only hand that can save her
Lives are special things we thrive on being told
But you can feel the heat even in the cold
It's better than growing old,nothing left but stone
Stone,nothing left but stone
Stone,seems like we can work this out
23.Living
2 Die ( Our Lives)
(Non-NPGMC track from The Work bootleg CD set)
Are you living,are you living ,are you living 2 die
Are you living,are you living ,are you living to
Look at how we're living,look at how we're living
look at how we're living our lives
Is this really living,are we really living
Look at how we're living to die
Mamas raising boys to men
17 and young one day
She wants for them what she dont have
Baby keeps on nibbling,brother keeps on being bad
Who told you,that this is what...
Showing that mama,shes left feeling sad
When the news comes,better have some
Better than being on the wrong side of the gun,ooh
Look at how we're living,look at how we're living
Look at how we're living our lives
Candy's watching videos
Thinking thats how love goes
You give it up,a beat called a tune
Now she got a couple of babies and a ...
Look at how we're living,look at how we're living
Look at how we're living our lives
Is this really living,are we really living
Look at how we're living to die
And children did you believe like I
That only natural human rite is to be paralyzed
Don't let the sun set on the dawn
Come on rise baby rise it's gonna be alright
Look at how we're living,check out how we're living
Are you living,are you living ,are you living
Just wanna say,2 wrongs never make a right
The only victims here are you and I baby
Look at how we're living,look at how we're living,hey
Look at how we're living,look at how we're living
Look at how we're living our lives
Is this really living,are we really living
Look at how we're living to die
Look at how we're living,look at how we're living in
Look at how we're living our lives
Is this really living,are we really living in
Look at how we're living to die
Look at how we're living,look at how we're living

Ya know what?/ Why should I do that?/ When I can do this?
(Do this)/Boom Shakalaka Boom
(This drummer wicked)/ (Do this)
You were just conceived on a Friday night
I was on stage wasting brothers in a real fight
Everytime they cut my space down I worked it harder
Dripped down to my underwear and spanked them like their father
Never before had people seen a vision so bizarre
Play a hand that's equal to mine? Huh, look at my cards
I heard your little groove and I raised you another
On a Sunday morning would you play that smack for your mother?
I believe you would think otherwise
A few CDs from now and the software that your banging's not live
In a real battle those loops you all got suffered TKO's (huh)
Until you're playing in front of 70,000 you'll never know, nigga
This a grown folks job; all young dogs need 2 recognize
If the word was God my people need to use it with the 3rd eye
Who what why, uh, look out
And if I didn't try 2 school u I would be remissed
Why should I do that when I can do this?

Everytime I turn around there's another Boo [American slang for
'brother']
Talkin' about what another Boo can't do
Quiet as it's kept every one of you Boos
You need to try to walk around in my shoes
I've had devils try to take me out
But I stand for the truth so my words make more dollars than sense
On your hellavision, or your radio
This flow? It just grows
(Yo ask Chuck D he knows!)
He been fighting the so called Power since the days of old
So tell me now what should be sold?
Sleepy jack hazards y'all need a couple a no-doze
Ask Mary J about Chaka - "Mary, is Chaka on the radio?"
Huh, you see, you gotta save your own
In the end it aint about the dollars but the seeds you've sown
In a mind-state full of Dutch Elm that's where the ghettos grown
Watch out y'all can't flatten me out tonight
And if I didn't try 2 school u I would be remissed
Why should I do that when I can do this?/ (Do this)
If I nick another style then you will dis
Why should I do that when I can do this?

Make you take your shorty outta here (every time)
Calling me fine, I got a big stick, one for each hand
Everybody know I keep a tight band, come on, uh
My brothers in Manhattan say "Gotta shut these haters down, G"
He say "Dog I got your back, but you gotta, you gotta make a sound that
we used to.."
Well you might be pissed -
Cause why would I do that when I can do this?
To most I'm known as a lover
To others I'm just a pain
The latter's opinion usually formed when mediocrity reigns
And if I didn't school ya, you know what, I would be remissed
Yo, why would I do that y'all, Londell, when I can do this?

Smile
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If U thought that you could put me down/And not get a page in my book
You been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
Tryin' 2 ball, U will fall, And never get a second look
Before me there was nothing/Without the 'eye' you cannot see
Just a form in the darkness/I brought the light and U believed
As everyone of my creation's/A future story that would be told (change
it up)
Try 2 change it up with temptation/But all your claims must be sold
(sold sold)
4 every soul there's a buyer (there's a buyer)
4 every action there's a price (how much U pay for that ....?)
For every option there's a tryer
When the claim runs out, ain't nothing nice
That's why -
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If U thought that you could put me down/And not get a page in my book
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
Trying 2 ball, U will fall, and never get a second look
Changed your name, it didn't suit ya
I did the same 4 a little while (the same 4 a little while)
The dare you love lead to revenue(talkin' the Book)
In return - a Judas smile (you gave me)
What I am will never fade away
Like you been funky - it never be
(What I am) What I am U will finally see (U will see)
Then u will admit in 4-part harmony
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If U thought that you could put me down/ And not get a page in my book
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
Trying 2 ball, U will fall, And never get a second look
1979 times 2, or maybe you'll bid for that
Me, your sister and brother got paid when the man let 'em up to bat
Whaddya do, do U act like a fool and wonder why your people disown ya?
Sang in the song Mr. Charlie wanna sing, stick around here we don't
know ya
They'd have to take me out (OK)/4 treating B like a B if she ain't one
And if she is it's no good like a rat in the hood we gonna give her a

Get ready 'cause we coming with the Old School
Old School (old school)/Old School (old school)
Old School (old school)/Come on, Come on - give it to me baby
Ahh Mr Aussieman, what makes ya think I'll work for U?
Paying 15 cents on the dollar?/Those are the wages of a fool, nigga
Pinocchio mentality, on levels more than 9
From now on the only piece you'll ever get from me's my mind
The chocolate invasion starts here/The chocolate invasion starts here
The chocolate invasion starts here/The chocolate invasion starts here
Now wait a minute/How dare you call a robot 'mecha'?
I knew that smack was jive
Step right up to the minstrel show/Starts in about 5 minutes
Confess these shuffling punks/Everyone claim they don't see 'em
Act the fool if you wanna/Guess the quickest way out is the way in
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If U thought you could put me down with a song that got no hook (oh no)
The chocolate invasion starts here
No matter your colour you're still my brother If you've got no fear
The chocolate invasion starts here
U still our sister, although we missed ya/Come wipe away your tears
Peace 2 Common, 2 brother Curtis - big love
Maceo, Erykah Badu
The chocolate invasion starts here/The chocolate invasion starts here
The chocolate invasion starts here/The chocolate invasion starts here
29.Golden
Parachute
Hey Ay - Hey Ay/Golden Parachute
Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?/Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?
Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?/Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?
{repeats throughout song}
Here's 50 million dollars - go'n leave us alone
In appreciation for all the creations we now own
U brought us jazz, rhythm & blues, hip-hop -even soul, oooh
2 own every piece of intellectual property -This is our goal
Oh yes it is (Golden, Golden, Golden)
Here's 50 million dollars, 2 go along with this -boot!
Just keep your mouth shut, and never tell of the plan
The conquer and control of every soul and man
Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?
oh oh oohoh
Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?
This is a tribute 4 all your accomplishments
The design of a system that allows for tax breaks and benefits
Do ya wanna (sugar) - Golden Parachute?
Do ya wanna - Golden Parachute?
17 years old, misled by so-called parachute/Down this cold road
Into this web of deception, spiders and snakes and bears
Money made but never spent, never mentioned
Ah let's make a toast, 2 the host, 2 the man with the most
They worship you - all up under U - applauding -
One who in truth created nothing, nothing/In essence - a fraud!
Golden Parachute (repeats until fade)
30.My
Medallion
Hey fellas/You ever have one them girls that just bad
Know what I mean?/No, I ain't talkin' about fine, I'm talkin' about
bad!
Cuss all the time, steal..,man she rob her own moms
Down at the post office got two pictures
I'm talkin' about one of Bebe's kids, y'all - bad!/Hear me?/Oh, she
fine too
Chorus:
I don't know why, I want that girl
I don't know why, I want that girl
T'was the middle of the summer/Rather late in the day
This pretty thang, she walked up to me
Said she was good to play/She told me to close my eyes, ooh
So she could get a kiss/(Sure honey)
I said sure honey, and obliged
Girl snatched my medallion and called me a bitch,running!
Don't know why, I want that girl {x4}
I found out her place of employment
Dry cleaning - "we do fine" (hahahahah)
To manifest a little unenjoyment in her life
Was all that was running through the middle of my mind
There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise
See my baby, she gave me that medallion
And it, uh, you know, it mean a lot to me so
I walked up in that piece with a disguise on
And I said hey! I don't know what your name or your game is
But you better get your G-hind down on the floor
Cuz you see, I'm in a mood to do something koo-koo to you
So she gave me that kiss and ran out the back door
Don't know why, I want that girl {x4}
Oh, turning around the corner
Thought that she would get by (huh) - much 2 her surprise
Michael Yardbird dropped both his crutches down the stairs,
tripped baby on her backside
Holdin' on the banister, sliding down slow
U know he's about to fall down all them stairs, yo
My Medallion's on the center line
She dropped my piece in the middle of the street
The taxi cab about to run it down (beep beep oh yeah)
But when the bling bling caught the driver's eyes
He slammed on his brakes and jumped out his ride
And as he was just about 2 put his fat neck up in my jewels -
Yardbird bounced down the stairs of that house
crushing the bad girl like the Union Army crushed the Deep South!
And when the driver turned his head 2 get his peek on
I looked at My Medallion and broke the other way
Sister was limpin' but she was kinda good 2 play
Don't know why I want that girl (x 4)

34.Paradigm
(Non-NPGMC track :Prince and George Clinton - unreleased song
from aborted Funkadelic reunion album )
Hey brother, can you Paradigm?
...and that's the shifting of the tectonic plate, that
causes the earth to quake
When you're standing in the epicentre
Let the shaking begin/The shaking starts here
Hey brother, can you Paradigm?
And like the shifting of the combined weight of the massive ark lours
Of the head fake, that fake the numbers off of one's chest

Pump pump fake feint fade forward jump slam dunk...in your face
The tip-off, the tappin, rushin' jumping backboard
crushing dunking...in your face

Plays and instant replays are plays to come
Came and went, time well spent/Brother can you Paradigm?
The tip-off, the tappin, rushin jumping backboard crushing dunking...in
your face
Pump pump fake feint fade forward jump slam dunk...in your face

It rarely crossed my mind look both ways before you cross my mind
Brother can you spare a dime? (paradigm)
Brother can you paradigm?
The shape of things that come came
Two young whores in muck rows there/Ahead in time
The soul-searching beam of a strobe
As I rise, the cries of kings great
Made way there near here now gone far
And still we rise, I feel my wrists
No light refilled to ????? me
She sees him and she starts to run away
I scream silent comforts that are not heard
She's still pining for him - I've not said a word
For what?/For fear for truth?
Is truth delight?/Is truth delight?
Is truth delight?/Brother can you paradigm?
Time and darkness and space do not exist
.... alike ... and critics - I doubt them
At least ad lib/Can you paradigm?/And virtual IS real...

You're the one I'm dreaming of
Why does this feel like wasting time (wasting time)
(What a price) What a price is travelling love (travelling love)
You and me trapped between these lines

Tracks 39-48 : The One Nite Alone
Album
39.One
Nite Alone
In a pale blue spotlite
a figure spins around a voice calls out 2 u,
"Baby...do you like the sound?"
The undulating acrobat ready 2 do ur bidding says,
"Come, U must let me dress u
but 1st eye must do a fitting...
Do u like fast? Or do u like it slow?"
Eye know it's better if we make it up as we go...
and oh, by the way tell me now what's ur name?
Eye'll let it sweeten my tongue just once
and never speak it again
since this is our little secret
Untarnished memory in a pale blue spotlite
Let me hear u scream, if u're ready 4...
One nite alone... with me
40.U're
Gonna C Me
Eye know that eye'm not gonna sleep 2nite
Cuz u're not by my side and that ain't right
Eye thought that we bought this bed 4 two,
but what good is it if eye'm not with u
CHORUS
Gimmie a page on my 2-way
Eye'll hit u back with no delay
When u hear all eye've got 2 say
U're gonna C me
Whether in person or the phone
Eye've got 2 get u all alone
and when eye do baby it's on
U're gonna C me...U're gonna C me
There's never a minute that eye find
that u don't ever cross my mind
if u could just hold me tight u'd c...
there's nothing harder 4 u than me
(CHORUS)
Gimmie a page on my 2-way
eye'll hit u back with no delay
U're the reason eye took a rope and lassoed the moon
2 prove that when it comes 2 u
there's nothing eye won't do...
eye'd stare in2 the sun if u would be mine
It's not so great a leap since 2 all others eye am blind
Eye know that eye'm not gon' sleep 2nite
41.Here On
Earth
Imagine a young woman running 4 her very life
Tryin' 2 get away from the one who loves her
this young woman ur wife
In2 an alley cold and rainy
October just b4 dawn...
Leaping atop a mountain of bricks
her clothes now covered with sick,
The danger hardly gone
She turns and curses the day she met u
and that she wishes she was never born...
Say it's just a dream...
U open up ur eyes and come 2 realize
u simply imagined this
So u lean over and give her a kiss
Here on earth, here on earth,
with u it's not so bad
Here on earth, here on earth
eye don't feel so sad
Stay right here
Here on earth
42.A Case
Of U
Eye am a lonely painter
Eye live in a box of paints
Eye used 2 be frightened by the devil
and drawn 2 those who weren't afraid
Remember when u told me
that love was touching souls?
Well, surely u touched mine
Part of u pours out of me from time 2 time in these lines
U're in my blood like holy wine...u're so bitter and so sweet
Eye could drink a case of you darling
and still b on my feet...still be on my feet
43.Have A
Heart
Eye heard the news from a friend of mine and urs
She said the smell of missing me
was coming from ur pours!
She said eye broke ur heart so bad
Eye didn't deserve u back
But don't u have 2 have a heart 1st b4 u get it broken?
Don't u have 2 wanna tell the truth b4 a word is spoken?
So what about the heartbreak?
Everybody's had one c
The fault of mine goes from LA 2 the streets of NYC
but eye ain't cryin' about payments overdue
eye got some milk but no drop is spilled
over things u put me through
Can't u c we're all just tryin'...
Tryin' 2 get this hustle on...
Lookin' 4 the righteous 2 buy in...
til we right everyone of the wrongs
So what about the heartbreak?
Everybody's had one c...
Have a heart
44.Objects
In The Mirror
That's my favorite time with u
just after we make a movie,
the kind that requires the title
"Parental Advisory"
Let's brush r teeth in the same sink,
don't worry girl it's cool
We can pose in the mirror
eye'm diggin' u diggin' on me
We're hooked up now, eye can try her
Eye can put my load in the dryer
So much we can share
the same height, weight, and body fluid
We're hooked up now, we can do it
Been waitin' baby...
It's so hard 2 bear
the objects in the mirror r closer
than they appear...
45.Avalanche
He was not or never had been in favor
of setting r people free
if it wasn't 4 the 13th Amendment
we woulda been born in slavery
He was not or never had been in favor
of letting us vote so u c...
Abraham Lincoln was a racist who said
"U cannot escape from history"
CHORUS:
Like the snow comin' down the mountain
that landed on Wounded Knee
nobody wants 2 take the weight-
the responsibility
Hear the joyous sound of freedom
The Harlem Renaissance
Hear Duke Ellington and his band
kick another jungle jam
Ooh, do u wanna dance?
Who's that lurking in the shadows?
Mr. John Hammond with his pen in hand...
sayin' "Sign ur kingdom over 2 me
and b known throughout the land!"
But, u ain't got no money, U ain't got no cash
So u sign yo name and he claims innocence
just like every snowflake in an avalanche...
CHORUS:
Like the snow comin' down the mountain
that landed on Wounded Knee
nobody wants 2 take the weight-
the responsibility
46.Pearls
B4 The Swine
If eye leave my front door open would u come and visit me?
Just 2 slander my name hopin'
that eye would pack my bags and leave...
If eye did would u remember
2 feed the dove and clean the cage?
And never count in front of the children
lest they die of old age
Eye don't really know y we have 2 go r separate ways
Whether or not we grow after the seeds r sown
Only time can say...
Can eye offer u baklava
or a bagel with cream cheese?
Will we say grace 2 r father
holding hands down on r knees?
R we better off just fighting?
U on ur side, me on mine
R the words that eye keep writing...
only pearls b4 the swine?
What makes men claim that u're a friend
when u're not at all?
They knock u down and then,
they lift u up again, just 2 c u fall...
But like a bird eye'll keep on singing...
a song that never leaves ur mind
If nothing else u've taught me one thing...
"Never cast ur pearls b4 the swine"
47.Young
and Beautiful
U're so young and beautiful
U're so full of life- everybody knows
That's y they try 2 take advantage of u...
but u don't have 2 do what the other ones do
U're so cool- the world at ur feet,
they only want ur virginity
Keep ur clothes on and ur chastity
until u find the one that's worth it baby
So young and beautiful
So young and beautiful
U're so fine my heart's just pounding
If eye had the chance 2 lay u down,
eye'd probably take a rain check 'til next summer
cuz eye don't wanna b like all ur other lovers
So young and beautiful
Eye'm hippin' u 2 the game darlin'
So that u'll always remain
young and beautiful

50. The Moors In Spain
(incomplete lyrics to a song posted by Prince in the Vs room
of the NPGMC website 20th May 2003,
as of 16th June 2003 the song itself has not been posted though )
If this great African culture were alive 2day
We’d b 400 years more advanced
From Arabia they came 2 blossom in Spain
And 2 the beat of the drum they danced
Masters of the Arts and all industry
While France, England and all Germany
Wallowed in the mire of their own bigotry
The Moors were the ones who were truly free
Civilization came 2 Europe thru the Greek
Who were simply Africans who came from the Nile
The Greeks gave it 2 Rome who lost their way home
And it stayed that way 4 quite a while
Under their own misconception of Christianity
The barbaric (?) Europeans suffered greatly
While the Catholic Church was staking it’s claim
The Moors were making great gains
Introducing strawberries, lemons and sugarcane
Algebra, chemistry from the Moors this all came
Their contributions 2 knowledge, 2 numerous 2 name
While in Europe there were no public libraries, the Moors in Spain
Had 70, 600 thousand manuscripts and 17 universities
Not hardly a prisoner in the mind of society
In the Spain the Moors were once truly free
The one who is most gifted cannot lead the way in a world that never
respected authority…
The sword of the Moor would have never left its sheath if the
longhaired barbarian who
opposed them would have only seen
That 2 win a war against the so-called “black infidels”
Brings about a peace that cannot last
But I guess all’s well that ends well… well it ain’t over
51.I Like It There (video available on Cyberclips section)

And what's more, what's more
Your heavenly body, baby
I swear (I swear), I swear
I like it there

52.Thieves In The
Temple
(video available on Cyberclips section)
Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight
They don't care where they kick
Just as long as they hurt u
There are thieves in the temple tonight
Love if u're there come save me
>From all this cold despair
I can hang when u're around
But I'll surely die
If u're not there
Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight
I feel like I'm looking for my soul (Soul)
Like a poor man looking for gold (Gold)
There are thieves in the temple tonight
Voices from the sky say rely on your best friend to pull u through
But even if I wanted 2 I couldn't really truely 'cause my only friend
is u
Come on
There are thieves in the temple tonight
Kicking me in my heart, tearing me all apart
(Tearing me, tearing me, tearing me all apart)
'Cause me and u could have been a work of art
Thieves in the temple
Baby don't u know I'm holding on

The better man
Better than the thieves in the temple
In the temple tonight
Oh, thieves in the temple (Tonight) tonight

Thieves in the temple tonight

Love please, (let me be) let me be the better man
Better than the ones that wanna count me out
Better than the ones that don't know what my love's about
I'm talkin' 'bout the kinda love that can move a mountain
The kinda love that could part the sea
The kinda love that'll last 4 ever
(no matter what u say we should be together)
U should be with me (thieves in the temple)
Yeah, u should be with me
I said I wanna know (talk to me)

How come you said that I was your baby
When u and your love was gonna leave
U led me on, led me on thinkin' U was Moses
Herding sheep blindly through a fantasy
U done me wrong (thieves in the temple)
And everybody knows it
Now the sound of my voice is pumpin' in your chest
More or less, I am here to tell u that

Better than the rest
Better than the thieves in the temple tonight

53.Hit U In The Socket
Girls out there
(Mm mm mm)
Let me tell U a story
U got these men goin’ around here
And all they wanna do is hit U in the socket
Like a thief in
the night, he’ll come 2 U
Pick U right off a lonely avenue
Telling U stories, telling U lies
Anything 2 cover up an alibi
Then your best
friend will give U the bottom line
She said bein’ his lover is just a waste of time
And she should know a little bit more than maybe
Cuz he left her with a baby
(He wants 2 hit U
in the socket)
He wanna hit 'cha now
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
Ain’t that a shame?
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Don’t U do it now
(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
Lookie here
Just like the
serpent when he spoke unto Eve
He’s the only one he wants U 2 believe (Oh yeah)
And every time Friday comes, his mood'll change
So he can have a reason 2 be with the boys again
Then your best
friend’ll give U the ever so shockin’ news
About your beloved serpent, how U thought he belonged 2 U
Well, he’s got another couple swingin’ from the vine
And U’re just home cryin’
(He wants 2 hit U
in the socket) (He'll wanna)
Boo hoo
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
Ain’t that a shame?
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Don’t U do it now
(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
Lookie here, huh
He’ll tell U,
"Baby, if U can’t stand by me
I've got 2 drop U and chop U like a tree" (Drop U, oh yeah)
Don’t waste your time, girl, dealin’ with that
U oughta take the time 2 show him (what?) where the door is at (Hey)
(He wants 2 hit U
in the socket)
He wanna hit 'cha now
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
Ain’t that a shame?
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Don’t do it, don’t do it
(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
He wanna, he wanna hit U up in the socket
(He wants 2 hit U in the socket)
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
Listen here now
Never bought U
nothin’ but heartaches and pain
When U ain’t nothin’ but another link in a chain
Take all your money, buy his alibi
He’ll sell U off every time
(He wants 2 hit U
in the socket)
Don’t U think he won’t
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
Ain’t that a shame?
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Oh, mess between your sheets now
(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
Can’t do it, can’t do it
(He wanna, he

He’ll... gonna steal U like the thief in the night
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
And ah... when he got want he want, he’ll be clean out of sight
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Oh, your best friend will tell U better than me
(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
Don’t think she won’t, sugar
(He wanna, he
wanna, he wants 2 hit U in the socket)
Just check your own backyard and U will see
(But he’s got no money in his pocket)
Every Friday, his mood'll change (I know that)
(He wants 2 mess between the sheets)
Then Monday, he’ll come back 4 some of your sweet thing
(But he can’t put shoes on your feet)
Boo hoo
(He wanna, he
