When a man does wrong
Ain’t no coming back home
Can’t come around
There ain’t no place
She don’t wanna
See your face

Wanted to hurt me
Never even wanted to leave
Said that you
Never did desert me
Now you begging me
Please, please, please believe
Now you feeling like a fool
(Fool)
Never thought about me
Just you

It’s on your mind
What you did wrong
And now you
Wanna come back

When a man does wrong

He’s been out there too long
She won’t even
Talk on the phone
When a man does wrong

Waiting at night
Just wasting my time

ASHANTI – VooDoo

What’s up you’ve reached Ashanti leave me a numeric message or a
voice message and I’ll get back to you lata [beep]
Hey girl what’s up it’s me, yo man remember
your friend and I’ve been calling you for the past three weeks
you’ve never returned any of my
calls, what happened I thought I was going to see you
at the spot last night yo everybody’s
askin’ for you, and you know who be looking for you like crazy,
man what’s going on, what’s come
over you?
[Chorus]
I don’t know whats come over me I don’t know,
I don’t know whats come over me, I don’t know
whats come over me, I don’t know I don’t know whats come over me
[Verse 1]
Because I never felt like this, (I don’t want to be wrong cause I like it)
thinking about the way you kiss,
(I don’t want to be wrong but I like it)
I think you stole my heart from me, (See I don’t want to be wrong cause I like it)
Cause I belong to somebody (even though it seems wrong I
can’t fight it)it almost feels as if I’m not myself,
Under a spell from someone else I think
I’m falling for somebody else and I can’t control myself
it’s like some kind of hex is on me
controlling who I love and how I speak
and when it’s gone my heart won’t beat tell me whats come
over me.
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Because I never felt like this, (I don’t want to be wrong cause I like it)
thinking about the way you kiss,
(I don’t want to be wrong but I like it)
You got me thinking I should leave, (see I don’t want to be wrong cause I like it).
But I belong to somebody (even though it seems wrong I can’t fight it)
I know that I already have a love, he’s all I know and all I trust but lately
I’ve been falling out of love I find myself so deep in lust
and every time he’s here with me I
look into his eyes so desperately but now it’s not his face I see,
tell me what comes over me
[Chorus]
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
(I just don’t know) I don’t know (what’s come over me),
I don’t know, I don’t know , I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t
know, (it’s like something is taking complete control over me)
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know,
( I can’t function I’m not me) I don’t know, I don’t
know, I don’t know what’s come over me, I don’t know, I don’t know
What’s come over me, I don’t
know what’s come over me, I don’t know, I don’t know,
What’s come over me, I don’t know, I don’t
know what’s come over me…

ASHANTI feat. Biggie Smalls – Unfoolish (Foolish Remix)

[Chorus: Ashanti (Biggie)]
See my days are cold without you (Here’s Another one)
But I’m hurting while I’m with you (And another one)
And though my heart can’t take no more,
I can’t keep running back to you
See my days are cold without you (Here’s Another one)
But I’m hurting while I’m with you (And another one)
And though my heart can’t take no more,
I won’t keep running back to you
(And another one….what? what?)

[Ashanti:]
I think I found my strength to finally get up and leave
No more broken heart for me
No more tellin’ your lies to me (And another one)
I’m lookin’ like I got my head on right so now I see
No more givin’ you everythin’
There’s no more takin’ my love from me (what?)

[Chorus]

[Ashanti:]
Glad to wake up every day without you on my brain
No more waiting late up at night
No more havin’ to fuss and fight
I’m proud to say that I will never make the same mistake
No more thinkin’ about what you do
There’s no more of me runnin’ back to you

[Chorus]

[Biggie:]
Some say the x make the sex spec-tacular,
Let me lick you from yo neck to yo back
Then ya, shiverin’, tongue deliverin’
Chills up that spine, that ass is mine
Skip the wine and the candlelight, no Cristal tonight
If its alright wit’ you, we fuckin (that’s cool)
Deja vu, the blunts sparked, finger fuckin in the park
Pissy off Bacardi Dark
Remember when I used to play between yo legs
You begged for me to stop because you know where it would head
Straight to yo mother’s bed
At the Mariott, we be lucky if we find a spot next to yo sister
Damn I really miss the way she used to rub my back when I hit that
Way she used to giggle when yo ass would wiggle
Now I know you used to sweets at the Parker Meridian, trips to the Carribean
But tonight, no ends

[Ashanti (Biggie)]
You must be used to me cryin’ (And another one)
While you’re out bumpin’ and grindin’
But I’m leaving you tonight

See my days are cold without you
But I’m hurting while I’m with you
And though my heart can’t take no more,
I can’t keep running back to you

You must be used to me cryin’ (And another one)
While you’re out bumpin’ and grindin’
But I’m leaving you tonight (Uuuh…and another one)

ASHANTI feat. Busta Rhymes – The Woman You Love

Written entertainment
Ashanti,
We missed you baby
Busta, bus,
Turn my music
High [x3]

[Ashanti:]
But what about my pride
You’re never satisfied
You made me feel like I wasn’t worth being by your side
I done sacrificed, all of my damn time
Giving you all mine
You see me dying inside

[Chorus:]
Trying to see
Trying to find
Trying to be
The woman you love
Tried everything
But it just don’t seem like it’s enough
Hey baby, tried to believe
But I’m tired of being tired
Trying to love
Trying to fight
And I’m running out of tries
You’re just no good

[Ashanti:]
With everything that I gave
And all the love that we made
It never shoulda took place
I gave you my heart,
You betrayed and I know
I should have let you go
Cause I’m back where I was before, baby

[Chorus:]
Trying to see
Trying to find
Trying to be
The woman you love
Tried everything
But it just don’t seem like it’s enough
Hey baby, tried to believe
But I’m tired of being tired
Trying to love
Trying to fight
And I’m running out of tries
You’re just no good

[Rap Verse: Busta Rhymes]
Look,
I know you rap with the moves I’ll be making, yes
Though we go through trials and tribulations, yes
It don’t matter how difficult it’ll get
I love you regardless the situation, oh
I see you drew a line all in the sand, oooh
You ain’t gotta lead me, hold my hand, come on
Every time I get up and I think about the way we feeling all
I say is damn
I know at times I really hurt your head
And I’ve stressed you out
And really get you fed up
I ain’t never never gonna let up
Unless it makes you happy for me to shut up
But I ain’t shutting up, because I really wanna give it to you, who
I can’t replace the feeling when we get it with each other
And I ain’t trying to lose you
Now what you expect me to do, let’s take a trip and go to Honolulu, come on
Come on, maybe we can spend some time together
Try to make it better girl, I choose you
But if you ain’t with it and we are really done
I respect it, and baby I’m a go
But once I walk out the door, I ain’t never coming back baby
Hell no

[Chorus:]
Trying to see
Trying to find
Trying to be
The woman you love
Tried everything
But it just don’t seem like it’s enough
Hey baby, tried to believe
But I’m tired of being tired
Trying to love
Trying to fight
And I’m running out of tries
You’re just no good

ASHANTI feat. Caddillac Tah – The Pledge

[ad-libs: Ashanti]
In the beginning…
When no one else was around…
You were there…
And now.. that everything is good…
You gotta know…
I’ll ride out with you… forever…

[verse one]
I never thought that I could find this thang
That always had me comin’ back again
Something about the way you move, it got me…
Hooked on you, no matter, what I do
I never felt this way for another
It’s feelin’ kinda strange, but I love it
You gotta know that I would never leave
You did that thang to me, you is where I be

[chorus]
There’s no me
Without you
I can’t think
Without you
Don’t you know that I will…
Never leave
Leave you
All I need
Need is you

[verse two]
You’re always there to make me feel so right
You got me thinkin’ bout you day and night
Thinkin’ bout how my life is now
How you, make me smile, and I, love ya style
We been together through thick and thin
Whatever troubles you’re in, I’m in
You gotta know that I would never leave
You did that thang to me, you is where I be

[bridge]
What you’ve done to me
You know that I can’t see
Myself with or without you

[chorus]

Now it don’t matter if you hatin’ or spoiled…
We gone get that dough

Can’t do nothin’ else but blow
I chant this cause…
I’m lettin’ you all know (it’s murdaaaa, for liiiife)
Now you know I’m a put my life on the line for yours
Pull a nine out the drawer, strap up, when it’s time for war
Stack up, every penny, money over these broads
Back up, against the wall in a riot or brawl
I pledge allegiance, the I-N-C is the clique
And till I die, I’m a ride with my niggas through thick
And thin, playin’ him, we playin’ to win
Steady ballin’, soarin’, long dickin’ these broads, and..
I’m my brother’s keeper, slugs’ll spreech ya, plug’ll heat ya
Fuckin’ wit my family, so understand, B, there’s no me without them
All we got is us, me and ‘Shan tearin’ it up, nigga what, what

[chorus: (2X)]

Livin’ without you
Bein’ without you

ASHANTI – Over

[Chorus 2x]
Can’t believe that it’s over baby
But every bruise on my heart you gave me
See we tried but we fight then we cried now it’s over babe it’s over babe.

[Verse 1]
When I met you I knew you would be the one,
for me cause looking at you made me feel kind of
crazy, now what you asked I almost did it automatically
but it was nothing compared to the joy you gave me.
Although I know that what we had it wasn’t perfect babe,
you fooled around, but see back then it didn’t phase me
I thought by staying, trying to change you would be worth it babe,
but now I see that trying to change you only changed me.
All these tears,and all of your lies
all these years and now we’re saying goodbye, it’s over babe.

[Chorus 2x]

[Verse 2]
Now I’m thinking that I never should have dealt with you,
all this screaming and this yelling
that we go through raining late at night I’m sitting waiting up for you
just to tell you how I hate who you turned into,
see ain’t no way I’m gonna sit and take this shit from you,
I’ll never play another day of being your fool,
I wasted all my time on something that just wasn’t true,
I should have known I could never ever change you.
All these tears, and all of your lies,
all these years and now we’re saying goodbye it’s over babe.

[Chorus 2x]

I’ll never forget what you did to me so I’m gone I’m leaving leaving baby,
I’ll never forget
what you did to me so I’m gone I’m leaving leaving baby.
Whenever you see me don’t even speak,
I’ll never forget what you did to me.
Whenever you see me don’t even speak, I’ll never forget what you did to me.

[Chorus 4x]

I’ll never forget what you did to me so I’m gone I’m leaving, leaving baby.
I’ll never forget
what you did to me so I’m gone I’m leaving, leaving baby.

ASHANTI – Never Too Far Away

Never too far away
I would take my heart right out of my chest
And place it in the palm of your hand
Just to show you how much I need you to keep breathing
How I walk a million miles barefoot
To hold your hand
And these bloody feet of mine will keep bleeding

[Chorus:]
And I will let nothing keep me away
And I will let nothing keep me from you babe
Oooh
Away [x5]
Never to walk away
Never too far away

I will crawl all the plates of hell
And cross the devil himself
Just to be by your side
For you I will

I would run across the bareness
And hunt the stars to hold you
And if the world were to end today
I would still find a way

[Chorus:]
And I will let nothing keep me away
And I will let nothing keep me from you babe
Oooh
Away [x5]
Never to walk away
Never too far away

I would take three planes and a spaceship just to meet you babe
And I would sail across the land
Just so I could see your face

[Chorus:]
And I will let nothing keep me away
And I will let nothing keep me from you babe
Oooh
Away [x5]
Never to walk away
Never too far away

Never too far away, away, away
Never too, never too, never too far away [x3]

And I will let nothing keep me away
And I will let nothing keep me from you babe
Oooh
Away [x5]
Never to walk away
Never too far away

And never too far from you baby
And I love you, I love you,
I want, I want you here with me

Said I would go anywhere
I would go anyplace
And never too far away
And never too far [x3]
Away from you
And never too far

ASHANTI – Movies

[Verse 1]
Looking in the mirror I can see myself standing in your
Arms holding me and kissing me and loving me, oooh
You just can’t get enough of me now I’m on the phone telling
You I’m all alone so come on over I’m out the shower now,
about to oil down I can’t wait till you get here.
[Chorus 2x]
I wanna be like those girls in the movies,
to have a man so in love it makes him drop to his
knees she’s even on his mind while he’s asleep at night
cause that’s the feeling you’ve given me.
[Verse 2]
I’m almost ready to accept the truth I’m in love with you
and I wanna tell you I’m glad that
you’re here, uh and now we’re face to face in the candlelight,
I’m watching your eyes watching
mine layin here with you, feel so good, feel so good.
With your hand in mine we don’t have to
worry about time,or what the future brings
we can just let it be the way you smile
At me I already see you don’t wanna leave so we can just
Sit back, relax and let it move naturally.
[Chorus 4x]
Yeah thats the feeling Baby..Baby

ASHANTI – Kansas

Wind blowin through my hair
Everybody tellin me theres nowhere like home
Oh no

Theres somewhere else for me
I need to take the oppurtunity and go
And go
Yeah

Its now near, not too far
And when i look up to the stars
I wanna be, i wanna be like they are
Ooh

[chorus]
Sometimes you gotta get of kansas (gotta get out)
And sometimes you gotta take your chances (to find the answers)
Cuz noone ever made it just waitin around
For the big 15 minutes in a to big town
One thing i know is crystal clear
I gotta get out of here

I know the sound of a whole new crowd
While i wisper when i want to sing out loud
Let me here you say yeah yeah (yeah, yeah)
Im on land, but i can fly
Something in my heart saying i was ment to shine
Like a diamond in the sky

I wanna see my name in lights
And someone to buy movie rights
I wanna hear my music come to life

[chorus]
Sometimes you gotta get of kansas (gotta get out)
And sometimes you gotta take your chances (to find the answers)
Cuz noone ever made it just waitin around
For the big fancy menice in the two-bit town
One thing i know is crystal clear
I gotta get out of here

I gotta get outta here
Mmhmm
I gotta get outta here

ASHANTI – I Know

[IRV GOTTI:]
Dear Lord, I come to You a humble man
Asking Your forgiveness for all my sins that I’ve committed throughout my life
And Lord, I ask of You one more thing
Have mercy on my enemies, for they not know what they do
As we proceed, Chapter II

[CHORUS:]
I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can’t stop living this life
I know it gets harder everyday
But I know we can’t stop living this way

[1ST VERSE:]
Some days I would say there’s got to be a better way
See, I don’t know if I want to live my life like this for each and every day
But now I found that I’ve got to say
Even though it gets hard, I came this far
And I can’t live my life no other way

[CHORUS]

[2ND VERSE:]
I tried to figure out if there’s another path for me
‘Cause all these ups and downs and ins and outs be kind of stressing me
But I could never see myself living like nothing else
It’s hard to tell, but I know this life too well

[BRIDGE:]
Sometimes people just don’t know
What they are and what to follow
Even when it don’t seem right
Get on by and live your life

[CHORUS]

Oooooh, oooooh
Oooooh, oooooh

[CHORUS X2]

[IRV GOTTI:]
Yeah, for all my peoples living that everyday life
Sometimes you gon’ have ups, sometimes you gon’ have downs
Fight through that y’all, keep pushin’ it, don’t ever stop pushin, don’t ever stop believing
Take the good with the bad
You know, it’s gon’ be alright

I’m so happy that I fell in love,
I thank God he sent you from up above.
I’m so happy that I found someone,
and I thank God he sent you from above.

[Chorus x2]

[Ending]
Hmmm that I wouldn’t be without you babe
couldn’t see me without you babe and I wouldn’t be
without you babe couldn’t see me without you baby.

ASHANTI feat. Shi Shi – Colors Of The Wind

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You’ll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or ask the grinning bob cat why he grins
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

[Shi Shi]
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they’re worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle of a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he’s been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down then you’ll never know
And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the earth and still
All you own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

ASHANTI – Baby

I don’t remember feeling like this…
Baby…Baby I love you…Baby…Baby I love you.

[Verse 1]
I got this jones forming in my bones (from a man)
who indeed took over my soul, (understand)
I couldn’t breathe if he ever said (he would leave),
get on my knees till they bloody red, (baby please)
see I don’t know if you get it yet, (just don’t know)
He’s like the lighter to my cigarette,
(watch me smoke), I never knew another human life
(didn’t know) can have the power to take over mine,
So baby baby.

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,(baby I love you) baby,
baby,baby baby,baby, I love it when I hear
ya name, got me sayin’ baby, baby, baby,
baby, baby,(baby I love you) baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

[Verse 2]
See, I could never feel alone with you (in my life),
I’ll give up everything I own for you (won’t
think twice), almost a shame how I’m mesmerized (such a shame),
I lose my thought looking in your eyes (I know why)
because your kisses make my lips quiver and (that’s real) and when you
touch me my whole body shivers. (I can feel) now,
I can see how another life(nother life) could
have the power to take over mine cause your my.

[Chorus 2x]

[Verse 3]
Baby, I can’t see my world (I can’t see) living here on
God’s green earth, you don’t know what
You’ve done to me, (done to me) I never thought
I’d need you desperately,(desperately) it’s kind
Of sick how I’m stuck on you(stuck on you)
But I don’t care cause I’m needing you (I’m needing you)
And how I feel will remain the same (remains the same)
Cause your’re my baby, (cause your my baby)
Listen and when the world starts to stress me out,
(where I run) it’s to you boy without
A doubt (you’re the one) who keeps me sane and I can’t complain
(can’t complain) you’re like a
Drug you relieve my pain (may seem strange)
You’re like the blood flowing through my veins, (oooo)
Keeps me alive and feeding my brain,
(oooo) now this is how another human life (nother life) could
Have the power to take over mine cause your my

[Chorus 2x]

ASHANTI – My Lips Are Waiting

My eyes are searching
My hips are working
My lips are waiting
Take me to love
My skin’s pulsating
My body’s shaking
My lips are aching
Take me to love
Payal bajake
Gungru bajake
Tu je divana kar dar la
Churi bajake
Chutkhi bajake
Tu je divana kar dar la

India’s the place for me
India sets you free
Shola badan hai mera
Badan pay sitare hai
Akho me hai bijiliah
Le bo meh shirareh hai

My eyes are searching
My hips are working
My lips are waiting
Take me to love
Oh! Whoa-oh!
Take me
Take me to love
To love
