Bad TimesUnderstand it
Time runs faster than light
We go thru changes even if we don't
Take it for real
I can't stand it
Things they seemed to be right
But after all that happened they're gone bad
That's what I feel
Beat Inside My SoulFind that funky feeling deep inside your soul
That’s the beat you can’t deny — release it after all
Catch that funky rhythm pumping thru your vein
When the groove is on the move, you cannot stay the same
Chorus:
That’s the beat inside my soul
That’s the groove I can’t control
Color of MidnightQuietly you're slippin' in
Gently you pull my strings
Teasin' me with hint
Choosin' diff'rent tints
Candle lights, Chili wine
Chills run up-and-down my spine
I touch you with my fingertips
Do My AfroIt ain't hard to choose
Lifestyle that will never bring you down
Livin' thru the funk
You will sho'nuff groove it all around
Take your boogie shoes
Dance 'em like you never did before
Freak your funky style
With ya super-kinky-afro comb
Gansta BluesGuns and knives,
Very cruel style,
Who is the f**kin’ king?
Yeah, it’s me.
I’m a gangster on the Sixteenth
Got the intellect and might,
I’m not puppy for the beating,
Real gentleman for fight.
Just Givit to MeTake this thang as natural — I'm restless
Funky music makes me goin' crazy
Lights so bright and bass so tight on the dancefloor
Turn it up 'cause crowd is screaming for more
No cheat, no fun — just celebration
I can't resist funkyfication
No fear, no jive — just excitation
Mind of a ChildI wish I had a mind of a child
Just to see all the things
As they appear inside my dreams
And if I had a mind of a child
I would do anything
To put my dreams into my life
And if I had a chance to re-live my life
Soul SystemBuild up something genuine and daring
It’s so easy to begin
Build up something extraordinary
Just to show the things unseen
Free your soul now just to be connected
To the rhythm of your life
There’s no chance to stay unaffected
SupernovaChorus:
Shine like a newborn star
Like a supernova
I wanna be
Wherever you are
Don't tell me it’s all over
You seem like a star
Talking'Bout ThingsLet me introduce my ego
I'm so glad you've come along
It's like never ending Lego
I'm sure that you'll enjoy the song
I've spent years of my life in talking
'Bout the thing I don’t even know
By the time I became professional
