1. MIND

Slip inside my mind

Don't be shy just try

Touch of green shade of red in my head

Swallow you, swallow me, what will it be?

I can't, I can't, I can't

Can't get you out of my mind

I can't, I can't, I can't

I've gone blind

Self obsessed, I'm a mess

Touchin' you, brings me through

Trace of blue, flash of white you're so bright

Swallow me, swallow you, what can I do?

I can't, I can't, I can't

Can't get you out of my mind

I can't, I can't, I can't

I've gone blind

I can't, I can't, I can't

Can't get you out of my mind

I can't, I can't, I can't

I've gone blind

Slip inside my mind

Consume my rage reject your shame

Pools of red, splash of green is what I see

Swallow you, swallow me, it's so complete

I can't, I can't, I can't

Can't get you out of my mind

I can't, I can't, I can't

I've gone blind

I can't, I can't, I can't

Can't get you out of my mind

I can't, I can't, I can't

I've gone blind

2. WE BELONG

We stand before each other
And decide who is who
I get this funny sensation
You're a dream comin' true
Your eyes tell me that you're lonely
Your smile lets me know it hurts
You're in the same situation
Got somethin' that doesn't work

Come to me love, like hand in glove
We belong together

Let's paint the perfect picture
Canvas lies under our feet
With all the colors of the rainbow
We can have anything we see

Come to me love, like hand in glove

We belong together feels so right
Don't even have to try
We belong together paradise
Some will never find

Make a change, in the situation
Keeps getting better all the time
I get this funny sensation

We belong together feels so right
Don't even have to try
We belong together paradise
Some will never find
We belong together feels so right
Don't even have to try
We belong together paradise
Some will never find

Come to me love like hand in glove

3. O-L-I-O (in the house)

Olio's in the house spell it out
O-L-I-O in the house
Olio's in the house spell it out
O-L-I-O in the house
Olio's in the house (oh girl) spell it out
O-L-I-O in the house (yes we are)
Olio's in the house spell it out (can you hear us rockin' n rollin')
O-L-I-O

Somebody better call 911
'cause here we come (bust it)

It's the O-L-I-O three
We're in the place to be
Drop a Sagacity
We're gonna Keep It Strong
Until ya Let It Out
And if you like our flow
Then let me hear ya shout
We gonna funk ya like ya
Never been funked before
We gonna raise the roof
And kick down the door
So dim the lights
As we get hype y'all
'Cause Olio's in the house... tonight

Never down in my life in the life that I'm livin'

Never down in my life in the life that I'm livin'
Gotta keep it strong all week I'll be livin'
And I can't go out like that

4. KEEP IT STRONG

Living the decision
To keep my inner vision
Used to want to belong
Used to have it all wrong

Keep it strong (never down in my life, in the life that I'm livin')Keep it strong (never down in my life, in the life that I'm livin')

Living by the virtue
Keeping' up with one truth
Used to want acceptance
Used to dwell in ignoranceKeep it strong (never down in my life, in the life that I'm livin')Keep it strong (never down in my life, in the life that I'm livin')

5. IMPRESS

A sense of imagination, we can let this mystery go far
A touch of inspiration, you can make like wishing on a star
A rush of liberation, we can free our minds and lose control
A thrill of revelation, ecstasy will keep us in the flow

Impress me with your conversation
Impress me with who you are
Impress me with your ambition
Impress, Impress, Impress, Impress

A sense of imagination, we can let this mystery go far
A touch of inspiration, you can make like wishing on a star

Impress me with your conversation
Impress me with who you are
Impress me with your ambition
Impress, Impress, Impress, Impress

I've been waiting here for you so long
How can you be this way and be so strong
Impress me, impress me, undress me

Impress me with your conversation
Impress me with who you are
Impress me with your ambition
Impress, Impress, Impress, Impress

6. PRIDE

No more nice guy
No more abuse
I’m on a bright side
Changin' my views

Get optimistic, I'm realistic
No more tradition, got new ambition
Burned all the bridges, thrown all the stones
Won't use your religion, still have pride

No more scape goat
No more shame
I’m on a thin rope
Changin' the game

Get optimistic, I'm realistic
No more tradition, got new ambition
Burned all the bridges, thrown all the stones
Won't use your religion, still have pride

solo

Get optimistic, I'm realistic
No more tradition, got new ambition
Burned all the bridges, thrown all the stones
Won't use your religions
Forget optimistic, I'm realistic
No more tradition, got new ambition
Burned all the bridges, thrown all the stones
Won't use your religions, I still have pride

7. GOT A LIFE

Get yourself together, if you want me to stick around
Get yourself together, if you want me attracted
I would like you better, if you left me alone to breathe
I would like you better, if you chose a reality
Talking in circles, I know the excuses
You’re blue in the face, your blaming is useless
Play no more games, you live in distraction
If you want me stay
I got a life, I got a life
Don’t blame me, I got a life
I got a life, I got a life
Don’t blame me

Get yourself, a light, if you want to keep seeing me
Get yourself, a light, don’t blow opportunity
I would like, a lover, who gets inspiration
I would like, a lover, who illuminates passion
Talking in circles, I know the excuses
You’re blue in the face, your blaming is useless
Play no more games, you live in distraction
You want me stay, but
I got a life, I got a life
Don’t blame me, I got a life
I got a life, I got a life
Don’t blame me

We’ve got to be apart
Establish who you are
Get it straight cause it’s time for me to break
(solo)
Talking in circles, I know the excuses
You’re blue in the face, your blaming is useless
Play no more games, you live in distraction
You want me stay, but
I got a life, I got a life
Don’t blame me, I got a life
I got a life, I got a life
Don’t blame me

8. SAGACITY

The back of my hand, dark and chocolate
The palm of my hand, white as cream
To live this life, walk down the road
Walk down the road in the shoes of lividity

The sound of my name, pure and simple
The look of my name, causes hate
To live this life, float up a stream
Float up a stream in the ship of ferocity

Blind- darkness surrounding
Blind- light unseen
Blind- darkness surrounding
Blind- light unseen

The depth in we, judged by culture
Culture deemed by its history
Conceive one perception
To know all things does it mean sagacity?

Blind- darkness surrounding
Blind- light unseen
Blind- darkness surrounding
Blind- light unseen

(bridge)

Blind- darkness surrounding
Blind- light unseen
Blind- darkness surrounding
Blind- light unseen
Blind - sagacity
Blind - sagacity
Blind
Blind - to know all things does it mean sagacity?

9. DEAD MAN WALKING

Got no home, lost the will I roam

Got no shoes, feet are torn and bruised

Got no food, not in the mood

Got my drink, now I'm drunk

Dead man walking, no more time

Lost my hope, this dream's a joke

Lost my job, can't work on dope

Lost my cash, blew it all again

Lost my wife, to another man

Dead man walking, no more time

Dead man walking, end of the line

solo

Live in mud, thanks to the lord above

Live in shame, you're the one to blame

Day to day, don't want another way

Live to die, no reason left to try

Dead man walking, no more time

Dead man walking, end of the line

Dead man walking, no more time

10. AH

You work in the corner of this little room

Spend half your time wondering what to do

Wasn't in your plan this life of blissful gloom

And you still sit and resume



It happens to you time and time again

Getting caught up trying to reach the end

You hear keep your head up keep reachin' for the sky

You're afraid to go that high

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah keep reachin for the sky

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah you're afraid to go that high
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah keep reachin for the sky

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

What stands before you a fork in the road

To some a trivial thing, which way to go

You got choices and the sky is falling

Don't just sit there grab that calling

Let's hope and pray, gonna find a better way

Let's hope and pray

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah gonna make it to another day

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah we gotta hope, we gotta hope and pray

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah keep reachin' for the sky

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

 
Gonna find a better way let's hope and pray

Gonna find a better way let's hope and pray
Gonna find a better way let's hope and pray
Gonna find a better way let's hope and pray

(guitar solo)

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah keep reachin for the sky

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah you're afraid to go that high
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah keep reachin', keep reachin'

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

11. IN MY SHOES

The money that we’re losin’
At a rate so fast it breaks the bank
Found out you’ve been usin’
Our paycheck’s gone thanks to crank
I want to know
How could you be this low
To sacrifice our home?

Ooh to be in my shoes
Lace ‘em up tight and true
What would you do if it were me not you?
Ooh

Choices I am facin’
I'm overwhelmed and I feel the weight
This anger I am placin’
Won’t help so I hold back the hate
You hurt me so
But I won’t go
I’ll fight them all to keep our home

Ooh to be in my shoes
Lace ‘em up tight and true
What would you do if it were me not you?
Ooh

I’ll keep the promise I made to you
Sickness and health, penniless and wealth
Would you walk, would you walk on through?
Would you walk, would you walk on through?

Ooh to be in my shoes
Lace ‘em up tight and true
What would you do, if it were me not you
Ooh would you walk on through
Ooh to be in my shoes
Lace ‘em up tight and true
What would you do, if it were me not you
Ooh would you walk on through
Walk on through

12. ALL THIS TIME

I heard you're satisfied, (satisfied) what am I to do?

My thoughts have multiplied, (multiplied) what am I to do?

Your voice is in my head, it's soft and wet

Inflections, ring right through

With its highs and lows, and haunting tones

Reflections bring the truth

All this time I thought I was over you

All this time I thought we were over...too

I've cast a thousand tries, (thousand tries) what am I to do?
Thoughts have no reply, (no reply) what am I to do?

Across deserted skies, I hope to find

One star that shoots true

In its final phase, may it burn my haze

I want to breathe, I want to breathe anew

All this time I thought I was over you

All this time I thought I was over you

And all this time I thought we were over...

(instrumental break)

All this time, all this time, all this time, all this time

I heard you're satisfied, (satisfied) what am I to do?

Thoughts have multiplied, (multiplied) what am I to do?

Lips not on my kiss, but on a list

Flavors, rich with spice

Sweet and sultry tastes, they leave a trace

Of memories, I despise

All this time I thought I was over you

All this time I thought I was over you

All this time I thought I was over you

All this time I thought we were over...

13. OLIO PARTY

Ain't no party

Hey there good lookin'
It's the weekend, what'cha got cookin'
(Brothas lose your remote control)
Olio's the food that'll feed your soul
With a pinch of this and a dash of that
We guarantee the party will sho' be phat
Off the hook or simply live
Just like Sly we wanna take you... high...oh yeah

Well ain't no party
Like an Olio party
(It's the stone cold jam of the year)
You better listen up I'm talkin' 2 yo' ears
Now ladies wear sumthin' tight
Fellas wear sumthin' that fits just right
'cause if you wanna get in this joint
You gotta look good let me get to my point

Ain't no party like an Olio party
'cause an Olio party don't - stop
Ain't no party like an Olio party
'cause an Olio party don't...

Olio party people make some noise in this mother...

I can see the expression written on your face - sayin'
(We wanna bump some more)
Don't worry y'all it's what we came here for
So now that your body jerks
'cause there's 3 bad muthas that make it work
Raise the roof kick down the door
Is what we said in a song before
(Push it up, push it up, get down on the floor and push it up)
'Cause ain't no party like an Olio party
'Cause an Olio party don't...

Ain't no party like an Olio party
'cause an Olio party don't - stop
Ain't no party like an Olio party
'cause an Olio party don't...
