"forest whitaker" by brother ali


And yo whatever comes up comes out
We don't put our hands over our mouth
And whatever comes up comes out
We don't put our hands over our mouth
Whatever comes up comes out
Please mister bass-man lay it on me

Ayo, Dependin on the day, and dependin on what I ate
I'm anywhere from 20 to 35 pounds over weight
I got red eyes and one of them's lazy
and they both squint when the sun shines so I look crazy
I'm albino man, I know I'm pink and pale
And I'm hairy as hell, everywhere but fingernails
I shave a cranium that ain't quite shaped right
Face tight, shiny, I stay up and write late nights
My wardrobe is jeans and faded shirts
A mixture of what I like, and what I wear to work
I'm not mean and got a neck full of razor bumps
I'm not the classic profile of what the ladies want
You might think I'm depressed as can be
But when I look in the mirror I see sexy ass me
And if that's somethin that you cant respect then that's peace
My life's better without you actually
To everyone out there, who's a little different
I say damn a magazine, these are gods fingerprints
You can call me ugly but cant take nothing from me
I am what I am doctor you ain't gotta love me

[Spoken]
If you would please turn in your bible
To beauty tips according to Forest Whitiker
In the third chapter of the third line
Brother Ali would you please read to the choir for me son

[Sung 3X]
I'ma be all right, you ain't gotta be my friend tonight (you ain't gotta love me)
An I'ma be okay, you would probably bore me anyway (you ain't gotta love me)

Forest Whitaker y'all

Puff Daddy - I'll be missing you

about as clean as you can get

and the lyrics are easy (Diddy unlike Nas, is not really the most clever wordsmith)

take that, take that, take that Cool

Wyclef Jean has several albums out and self-edits his material. He does have one or two songs about sex (more about treating sex workers with respect) but they're very obvious based on the song titles. He's had a few hit songs - both as a solo artist and with the Fugees - though I'm not sure how many would show up in a noraebang.

Other nominations include Will Smith or the Fresh Prince / DJ Jazzy Jeff, Guru, Black Eyed Peas, and Jurassic 5 (although their latest album has some profanity).

ODB, Big L, and Too Short are all gr8 choices. Wink


Seriously, all three would be great if you were teaching a lesson on ebonics and urban words most people have no clue about.


Did you know that a kilo of cocain is referred to an an "onion"?

The Fresh Prince/DJ Jazzy Jeff's "Parents Just Don't Understand" would be great.

"Don't Curse" by Heavy-D, Kool G. Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Q-tip, Grand Puba, Pete Rock, and yes, CL Smooth

If that doesn't teach the kids a thing or two, nothing will.


CL Smooth is brilliant, I can't believe someone mentioned him. Most of the time people don't know who he is. Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant. Mecca and the Soul Brother is my all time favorite album. More than likely, ha.

how 'bout Arrested Development?

Give A Man A Fish

Lately I've been in a life like limbo
Looking out of a smudged up window
We're not sure where our lives are going
Friends, it's summer outside but yet we're snowed in
Don't know where our next dollar's coming from
Living the life of a poor musician
Headliner's strong so he keeps his 9 to 5
Cutting brothers' hair as a means of staying alive
If it wasn't for the rhythm
I think we would have given up by now
This system has gotten the best of me
Now I pray for God to invest in me
My dignity, invest his glory
Give me the strength so I can finnish the story
Keep on searching for the right way to go out
coz going out is what it's all about
huh! You can't be passive, gotta be active
Can't go with what looks attractive
Gotta learn all I can while I'm able
Headliner expresses his feeling on those turntables
When we get our chance
to make a good living of the music we program
We don't sell out just to be sold out
Brothers and sisters, do you know what I'm yapping about ?
Coz if they take away our contract
we still got talent and we still got contacts
Coz we're worked real hard to get this far
We're catching the bus before we bought the car
Ya see !

[CHORUS:]
[Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day
Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever] (2x)

Got to get political
Political I gotta get
Grown but can't hold my own
So this government needs to be overthrown
Brothers with the AKs and the 9 MMs
need to learn how to correctly shoot'em
Save those rounds for a revolution
Poor whites and blacks bumrushing the system
But I tell you: Ain't no room for gangstaz
Coz ganstaz do dirty work and get pimped by mobsters
Some fat Italian eating pasta 'n lobster
Brothers getting jailed and mobsters own the coppers
so you you want out of the ghetto
First the political prisoners must be let go
And you must let go of your power master
You'll never get out without much discipline
Raise your fist but also raise your children
So when you die the movement moves on
Coz with revolution, ain't no future in front o' y'all
haha! Direct your anger, love
Nothing's ever built on hate, instead love
Love your life, tackle the government
The spooks that break down the door are heaven sent
and my phrase went...

[CHORUS] (2x)

Alright !

Rhythm makes you move your body, rhythm makes you move your mind
Rhythm makes your elbows groove, rhythm makes that behind move
Rhythm makes the people move, rhythm makes you want to move
Rhythm makes your mind soothe, next stop is Jerusalem


Children Play With Earth

Okay,
The way kids are living is 100% European
African boys and girls:
Set down your Nintendo joysticks right now!
Unplug the television and make way for an old vision
Which will now be a new vision
Yess
Headliner, lay the foundation

Dig your hands in the Dirt,
that's right
Children play with earth
That's right
X10

Gain knowledge of the big but small earth around you
Dig your hands into the dirt, the dirt that made you
Get acquainted with the earth, the earth that eventually will take you
And the world that hopefully will appear to wake you
Children,
Play in the fields
Play in the grass
Climb mr, tree
Get to know each branch
Give it a name
For the branches resemble the many decisions you will have to make in life
Eat of the earth children
Grow an apple tree
Taste the apple
Communicate
Watch and listen to the neglected mother of all
Short tall children play with earth

Eat rhubarb wet from the rain
Beautiful fruits all the same
Pears, oranges, and grapes from the vine
Children it is the earth's time.

I'll second the Diddy, Missing you recommendation. Find it on the karaoke link of my batcave site below.

Once nice thing about the karaoke player (free download then play all the karaokes i've made) is that it has a tempo control. With rap songs, so fast, you can slow them down and make it intelligeable for the students and so they are able to halfway follow along.
