[R. Jerkins]
Whoo!
Yeah, darkchild
B-Rock let's go

Why don't you return my calls?
Why you trip out where I be?
You don't ever come to see me
You say that you're too busy (what?)

What the hell?
I don't have time
Why you messin' with my mind?
I can find another guy
Someone who will treat me right

I don't need this bull ish
I won't put up with it, any longer
You can, go if you want
I don't, need you pity
I will, be just fine
If you decide, that you want to leave
Close the, door behind you
I just, want to know what...

What about all of the
Things that you say
What about all of the
Promises that you made
What about all of the
Ice that you gave
What about all of the
Things you told me
What about all of the
Things that you say
What about all of the
Promises that you made
What about all of the
Ice that you gave
What about, what about
What about us? What about us, us?
What about us? What about us, us?

I thought you said you were different
Was that what I heard you say?
Said that you'd love only me
Thought that you'd be all I need (what?)
What happened to promises?
Said that you were a better man
Your words have no way with me
Cause you're counterfeit, I see

I don't need this bull ish
I won't put up with it, any longer
You can, go if you want
I don't, need you pity
I will, be just fine
If you decide, that you want to leave
Close the, door behind you
I just, want to know what...

What about all of the
Things that you say
What about all of the
Promises that you made
What about all of the
Ice that you gave
What about all of the
Things you told me
What about all of the
Things that you say
What about all of the
Promises that you made
What about all of the
Ice that you gave
What about, what about
What about us? What about us, us?
What about us? What about us, us?

Baby you should now hear this...
Now what if I said that you wasn't fit to be with
Now what if I told you you're game was played, I licked it
Yo what if I said I wasn't true, so do you
You and I know, without me there's no you
So what about the bills that were passed due
Before you, all you said to me was "Baby I'll owe you"
Forget about the brand new life that I gave you
Now what about us to me, now what about us to me

What about all of the
Things that you say
What about all of the
Promises that you made
What about all of the
Ice that you gave
What about all of the
Things you told me
What about all of the
Things that you say
What about all of the
Promises that you made
What about all of the
Ice that you gave
What about, what about
What about us? What about us, us?
What about us? What about us, us?

What about all of the
Things that you say
What about all of the
Promises that you made
What about all of the
Ice that you gave
What about all of the
Things you told me
What about all of the
Things that you say
What about all of the
Promises that you made
What about all of the
Ice that you gave
What about, what about
What about us? What about us, us?
What about us? What about us, us?

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

She calls out to the man on the street, "Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep. Is there somewhere you can tell me?".
He walks on, doesn't look back, he pretends he can't hear her.
He starts to whistle as he crosses the street, seems embarassed to be there.

Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise.
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise.
Just think about it.

She calls out to the man on the street, he can see she's been crying.
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet, she can't walk, but she's trying.

Oh, just think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise.
Oh yes, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise.
Just think about it, uh-huh, just think about it.

Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do.
Oh oh Lord, there must be something you can say.

You can tell by the lines on her face, you can see that she's been there.
Probably been moved on from everyplace, cause she didn't fit in there.

Oh yes, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise.
Oh yes, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise.
Just think about it, uh-huh, just think about it.

It's just another day for you and me in paradise.
It's just another day for you and me in paradise.
It's just another day for you and me in paradise.
It's just another day for you and me in paradise.
It's just another day for you and me, it's another day for you and me.
It's another day for you and me in paradise.
In paradise, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah.

Monica

Excuse me do I know you cause uhh, you know you look kinda familiar?

Brandy

Yeah, you do too but, umm,
I just wanted to know do you know somebody named you,
you know his name.

Monica

Oh, yeah definitely I know his name.

Brandy

I just wanted to let you know he's mine.

Monica

Huh..no no, he's mine.

(chorus)

You need to give it up.
Had about enough.
It's not hard to see, the boy is mine.
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Brandy

I think it's time we got this straight
let's sit and talk face to face
There is no way you could mistake
him for your man - are you insane?

Monica

See I know that you may be
just a bit jealous of me.
But you're blind If you can't see
that his love is all in me.

Brandy

You see I try to hesitate
I didn't want to say what he told me
He said without me he couldn't make
it through the day, ain't that a shame.

Monica

Maybe your misunderstood
Cause I can't see how he could
wanna change something that's so good
Because my love was all it took.

(Chorus)

Monica

Must you do the things you do
keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
And if you didn't know it girl, it's true.

Brandy

I think that you should realize
I'm trying to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside.

Monica

You can say what you want to say
What we have you can't take
From the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake.

Brandy

When will you get the picture
Your the past I'm the future
Get away it's my time to shine
if you didn't know the boy is mine.

(chorus x2)

Monica

You can't destroy this love I've found
Your silly games I won't allow
the boy is mine without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel.

Brandy

What makes you think that he wants you
when I'm the one that brought him to
special places in my heart
Cause he was my love from the start

(chorus x2)

Monica

Not yours!

Brandy

But mine!

(repeat x3)

(chorus)

Have ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so hard
You can't sleep at night
Have ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, Have you ever

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

Have ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so hard
You can't sleep at night
Have ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, Have you ever

Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all your life
You'd do anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta do to get your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Coz baby I can't sleep

Seems like ever since, the first day we met
There is no one else I think of more than you
Can't seem to forget, can't get you out my head
Cause the verdicts in I'm crazy over you
How can one be down, tell me where to start
Cause everytime you smile, I feel tremors in my heart
I have but one concern, how can I get with you
Til my day comes, here's what I'm gonna do.

Chorus

Be sittin up in my room
Back here thinkin bout you
I must confess, I'm a mess for you
Be sittin up in my room
Back here thinkin bout you
I must confess, I'm a mess for you

Pray that you'll invest, in my happiness
All it takes is just one simple call from you
Turn my heart around, if I'm making ground
Pretty baby please, tell me if I'm getting through
Tell me what is up
You see I need to know
Tell if I'm far, or if I'm getting close
I have but one concern, and that one concern is you
Til I'm with you, here's what I'm gonna do

Repeat Chrous

How can one be down, tell me where to start
Cause everytime you smil, I feel tremors in my heart
I have but one concern, how can i get with you
Til my day comes, here's what I'm gonna do

Repeat Chorus

Intro:

(Mase)

Brandy, Dark Child
Mase get Harlem on the rise
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

� I went from Helly Hensen to mini mansions
The girls in Aruba doing belly dancin'
Spent half of my advance on jars from Branson
To make it through my circumstances
But you know I'm wiser now
Move like Tarzan now
Got a butter soft cover just to hide my pound
Got a house in the valley come and find me now
Got enough dough to buy the town
So� I might give a six to my chick
Benz to my mom
Crib so big it look like the center gone
Give her a couch just to spill Henney on
And been a don since lotto's and Benneton

� (Brandy)

Some people say that I am not the same girl
They say I think that I am in my own world
What makes them think that I have changed, yeah
A little dough cannot erase my problems
Me like you I have to try and solve them
Yes everything is quite the same

� I'm just trying to be me
Doing what I got to do
Some people think that I'm
Just sittin' on top of the world
I'm just trying to be me
Proving what I've got to prove
Some people think that I'm
Just sittin' on top of the world

� Sittin on top of the world
Sittin on top of the world
Sittin on top of the world
Top of the world, top of the world, top of the world
Sittin on top of the world
Top of the world, top of the world, top of the world

� I wonder why it's often said that my life's
A fairy tale and everything is so right
I wish that you could know the truth, yeah
My life is real so please don't get it twisted
Problems the same and got to be dealt with
These are the things I wish you knew, oh

� Always in someone's eye so many questions why
How is it to be down with me, with me
Afraid to express myself always me and someone else
I need to be free but it's not that easy

� Repeat

Sittin on top of the world

� Don't understand why
People think I don' t have friends
Who knew me back when
This was my dream
But nothing has changed
I still do the same things

� (Mase)

Yo, we can cut the truckin' short
If it ain't about cake
I ain't sittin on top, I want a house on the lake
I'm that snotty nosed cat wit a new BM
If you mess wit Brandy, I got to bruise your chin
I be with Puff, the girls be like
Who's your friend
If I hit a chick once, she probably move me in
So you gotta tell me right now
Either you wit the cats who make the hits
Or the one that see the chips

(Slow down Mase, you're killing 'em)
But don't stop it
What's the use of buying away
If I'mma have to chop it
I used a leather lady till I learned her logic
She only mess wit Mase, no the money ain't no object
If it ain't Cris, he won't pop it
If it ain't platinum wit ice, he won't rock it
If it don't cost 60, he don't drop it
If it don't come with TV's, he don't cop it
You can stop it

� Repeat

� Yeah, Brandy on top of the world
Dark Child on top of the world
Mase be on top of the world, what?
Harlem World be on top of the world

� Brandy on top of the world
Dark Child on top of the world
M-A-Dolla sign-E all over the world
Brandy, all over the world
All over the world
All over the world
Yeah, yeah,� yeah
What, what
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what, what, what
