Workin overtime, the clock's running late, tired from the work, excited for the pay. it's just another dollar, it's just another day, every cat has nine lives, every dog has it's day.
They say when it rains it pours but that's not always true, you can get a flood from enough morning dew. Even the tallest trees grow from the wettest rain, every cat has nine lives, every dog has it's day.
every smile has a frown, every upside has a down, every metal turns into rust, every flesh and bone into dust.
The sun rises in the mountains, and sets in the beach, all the children know when you stand on your toes there ain't nothin' you can't reach.
Every start has a finish, every will has a way, every cat has nine lives, every dog has his day.
Every cat nine lives every dog has his day.

OH OH, OH OH, OH OH OH OOH, yeah! First i wake up, I feel my face up, then I look over, you're putting make up on in the bathroom, singin' those songs that you heard on the radio the day before, that's when you look u,p and you see me, and you smile, and it's clear to see, that every little fight that we've had before, just doesn't matter anymore,
[bridge] Cmon lets put the past behind us, sit back, kick your feet up let's unwind because,
[chorus] For the first time, in a long time, it's just great time, it's been a long time, now it's about time, to have a good time, have a good time, with you.
OH OH, OH OH, OH OH OH OOH! yeah!
first you wake up, but I'm still in bed, you put your make up on singing the songs in your head, then you, smile when you see me that's when you, think back to the night before, we were arguing about socks on the floor, you tilt your head back, you have a big laugh, you say "I love you" I say it right back,
[bridge]
[chorus]
[breakdown] Hey mama, I know we've had drama, through it all I still love you, period . no comma, through the thick and the thin, the winter and the summer, I said my hearts beating for you bum bum bum no drummer, drummer, drummer,
[bridge]
[chorus]
OH OH, OH OH, OH OH OH OOH YEAH!

The other night we were dancing, all through the night, everybody was laughing, feeling alright, we were just getting tipsy, having some fun, when came a knock on the door just as loud as a gun, I opened up the door, my smile turned to a frown it was old Johnny law come to shut us down.
Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw, Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw, OH you'd think he'd be more fun the way he's always around but he only shows up just to shut us down.
The other night we were driving all around town, burning up rubber, just messing around, we were going real fast an, stereo blasting, a blur to the cars that we were a passing, when in my rear view, what do I see? the red and blue lights of Johnny law flashing at me.
Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw, Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw, OH you'd think he'd be more fun the way he's always around but he only shows up just to shut us down, Johnny law
The other night I was walking, down the street, headphones in my ear I was bumping to the beat, I was just walking around I didn't have no plans when up walks Johnny law with some cuffs in his hands. I said I ain't done nothing wrong, why'm I under suspicion? he said "Because boy you just fit the description."
Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw, Johnny law, meanest man I ever did saw, OH you'd think he'd be more fun the way he's always around but he only shows up just to shut us down.

The love inside

When I said I loved you, you said "not another word", said you was tired of being hurt, tired of being burned, so I held you close, and I held you tight, let you know baby, everything was gonna, be alright, now we may cry a little, but if we try a little, and if you open up your heart, I think you'll find, the love that's inside
[musical break]
you said you'd never trust another man, all they've ever done is let you down, but I'm here to tell you baby, that I'm gonna stick around, so put your mind at ease, cause I'm here to show, if you believe in me, our love is gonna grow, and we may cry a little, but if we try a little, and if you open up your heart, then I think you'll find, the love that's inside
[solo]
Now when I say I love you, you still say "not another word" you tell me, " love is more than something you say it's something you do, love is letting the heart work", so now when times get rough, and there's tears in your eyes, you'll smile, cause you'll realize, that we may cry a little, and we may try a little, and if you open up your heart, I think you'll find, that when you cry a little, and if you try a little, and when you open up your heart, well then I think you'll find the love's inside.

My baby left me, packed up all her bags and ran.
My baby left me, packed up all her bags and ran.
Since she's been gone, lord knows I've been a happy man.
Since she left me, been having a great time with my friends.
Since she left me, I"ve been having a great time going out with my friends.
Other night we went to a bar, seen my best friend holding her hand.
OH I was mad. Oh I was angry, Oh my temper got real hot ya know.
then I laughed, yea I laughed and I laughed and I laughed, when I thought.
See that man there just don't know what kind of a crazy woman he got.
MY baby left me, packed up all her bags and ran.
My baby left me, even stole my bestest friend.
now I"m laughing, he's cryin and she's in the arms of another man.

To the man on the corner store, begging for your change because he's poor, from bad decisions or bad luck, to the man on the megaphone, eight cars, swimming pools, and fancy homes, flashing around his bucks, to the people in the middle, ain't got a lot, but more than a little, lacking in wants but covering their needs, they all need air to breathe, a place to sleep and food to eat, if you cut'em I bet they all would bleed yeah
[chorus] It's me, it's you, it's you, it's me, it's us, it's them, everything's together, my brother's and sisters(x2)
[musical break]
Now what's strange to me, is all this hatred and arguing, over not what was said but who said it. In stead of fussing and fighting, we should all be connecting and uniting, searching for love and ways to get it. What happened to the golden rule treating others how you want them to treat you, be kind and, pass it on. Now when your feeling down, 'n nobody else seems to be around, you can smile cause you're not alone, you're not alone,
[chorus]
[rap breakdown]
(adlib rapping) We got unwed mothers, and un-fathered sons, un-led daughters, and families undone, we take all of our problems and sweep them under rugs, we shoot just the same but we got bigger guns,
hunger, violence, corruption, confusion, can't drink the water, can't breathe the pollution, we focus on problems instead of solutions, I think that it's time for a revolution cmon!
[chorusx6]
