Nothing Left

Tuesday, April 30th, 1996
dealing with this for quite a while
and i’m glad that it’s finally over
i think it’s time for me to move on
cos there really is nothing left for me here
keep on going
start looking forward there’s nothing left for me here
get a fresh start something new
there’s nothing left for me here
i tried to hang on for as long i could
but things just didn’t go my way
so there is only one thing for me to do
but to let it be cos there’s nothing left for me here

Lost Our Trust

Monday, April 29th, 1996
Telling lies, making promises that they can’t keep
left or right they’re all the same to me
lost faith in the people that are here to lead us
one way or another they always seem to let me down
people suffer, see frustration building up
acts of racism and crime is what comes out of this
time to act against the problems that we’re facing
try to prevent a generation from going down the drain
empty words and broken promises has got to end
get your credibility back before it’s too late
a change of scenery is something that we all need
lost our trust it’s time for you to gain it back
you gotta shapen up pull your shit together
can’t fuck with our lives forever and ever
put our trust in you to make things work
and what do you do you go act like a jerk
i will never put my trust in you
cause i can so easily see you through
with your empty words and broken promises
promise one thing and you give us this
can’t go on with our lives on hold
ordinary people left out in the cold
your worlds of lies are about to crack
you lost our trust it’s time to gain it back

Give Us A Break

Sunday, April 28th, 1996
what is wrong come on give us a break
working our ass off we got what it takes
give us a break don’t wait until tomorrow
just do that and all the rest will follow
give us a break
help us out
we ain’t asking for much
things been running slow
and we need something new
would it be to much to ask for you to help us out
you’ve been around long enough
to know what it’s all about
it’s all about that first little break
and after that i know we got waht it takes
you can’t go on without any kind of reward
and that goes with everything you do in life
and when you got that reward it’s time to set up
new goals as something to strive for
now and always will
try to bring us down never we got to much of a
fighting will
hard hitting honest straight on hardcore style is
what we’re all about
we got our way our approach clear the lane all
of you with doubts

We’re changin’ it around just keeping you right
When we get excited no we never stop

All Around

Friday, April 26th, 1996
We’ve been all around the world,
Seen so many things,
And tasted all the good things that life can bring,
We’re like brothers now, and that ain’t gonna change
And even when things go wrong, they’re always by my side.
We each bought a ticket for this ride.

[BRIDGE]
We’re only going one way,
Ain’t no looking down
We’ll be rockin’ it all around.

[CHORUS]
Gotta get up, just to get down.
Us Five boys are always gonna rock you.
Hey, hey, we’re movin’ on now
All through the night, sing it now,
Yeah when the lights go down
Raise your hands if you got that feelin’
Hey, we’ve been rockin’ it all around.

I remember all the times,
All the laughter and the tears.
Special little moments through all of the years
But the sands of time go by, we’re older and we’re wise,
Never dreamed we’d come this far, but we remember who we are.
Guess we’ve been guided by a lucky star.

[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]

We’ve been all around the world,
We each bought a ticket for this ride,
We’re only going one way,
Ain’t no looking down
We’ll be rockin’ it all around

[CHORUS x3

Battlestar

Thursday, April 25th, 1996
Yo I’m a battlestar knight like I’m jedi
Rough to the tough but I’m sharper than the geam in your eye
Galactic battlestar like I’m ready
Ready for the 12 check get steady, on your marks set
your best to throw you hands high
Heads to the sky keep your eyes peeled listen for the sign
A trip stage walk wire, I bring fire till I’m done
you cause there can only be one

How many times does it sound like this
here we come again the microphone specialists
Action time
Take back the track rewind
sing it for me one more time

[Chorus:]
If you feel the force throw your hands to the sky
Put your hands up, get em’ up, put your hands high
If you wanna jump we can give you what you want
Put your hands up, get em’ up, put your hands high (2x)

I lead the packs like Bruce Wayne leads da batz
Rocking top hats with my verbal attacks
yo when I raps boogie down
can you hear the bell tower ring when you’re time travelling from
The funk that I bring fly wit me
I’ll take you higher when I’m walking over fire, come on follow the messiah
I run jump skips over battle ships
Doing lyrical back flips on the stage that I rips

How many times does it sound like this
Here we come again the microphone specialists
action time
take back the track rewind
sing it for me one more time

[Chorus]

How many times does it sound like this
Here we come again the microphone specialists
action time
take back the track rewind
sing it for me one more time

[Chorus

Tuesday, April 23rd, 1996
Chorus]
Can you jam with all the freaks tonight?
Can you jam? Just rock your body right,
Can you jam? Cos I just got to know,
Can you jam? Can you jam?

Jam! [X2]

If you wanna party, Here comes the funk,
Five’s got da flava, So just give it up,
I can keep it coming, If you got time,
I can keep it swinging, But you gotta make up your mind!

If you’re a freak, If you got the vibe, If you wanna rock tonight!

[Chorus]

Baby gotta check it the funk that I got now,
Make you wanna drop when I hit the right spot now,
Put ‘em all up, Throw your hands in the air,
You know you wanna get down, So move it over there!
Level with whack drop phatness on a track,
So gotta move your body if you wanna party,
Gotta get raw the rugged beats that we slam,
Baby, Baby, Baby, Now I know you can jam!

If I’m getting freaky, It’s cos you look fine,
And baby if you wanna, We can spend some time,
I can dig deeper, Down to the bone,
I can sing a sweet love, But girl I’ve got to know!

[Bridge and Chorus]

Ah, Rewind, Rewind, Got the funk for your mind,
Now there’s no contest, Because we’re one of a kind,
Keep kicking the fab flows cos we gotta, Try to make you hotter,
Make you move a lotta, Five! Live in your town,
You gots to boogie down, Let your legs snap,
Gotta move it all around, Make you move feets,
Gotta clear seats, You need beats, Cos it’s a night for the freaks,
When wanna keep bringing flows that you feeling,
Make you wanna jump up to the ceiling,
Kick back, You gotta let your head bump,
We’ll take you on a ride with the rugged raw funk now.

Jam! [X2]

[Chorus Until Fade

Closer To Me

Monday, April 22nd, 1996
Constantly girl you’re on my mind,
and girl I think about you all of the time
and even though words are hard to say,
girl I miss you, never thought I’d feel this way.

[BRIDGE]
If you keep on taking, my heart you’ll be breaking so why do you do this to me?
You know how I’m feeling it’s you I believe in baby can’t you see that I need you?

[CHORUS]
You know that it’s true.
Every time I see your face I miss you baby
You know that it’s you.
I want to let you know you’re driving me crazy.
I’d do anything to help you to see, I don’t think you understand what you’re doing to me.
You know that it’s true.
Every now and then I want to call you baby.
You know that it’s you.
I say a prayer that you’ll come back to me lady.
Oh yeah.
Life ain’t anything alone can’t you see you’re an angel in my eyes,
everyday you’re closer to me.

Nobody’s there when I call your name,
and nights are cold girl without your flame.
But if I could girl I’d make you see.
That I’m sorry, and that I need you here with me.

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]

Every day reminisce with the past
of a love that we thought would last.
How we used to be when it was you and me.
How did it all disappear so fast.
There are days that I can’t forget
there are things that I now regret.
I was there for you when you were there for me, and I was thinkin’ we were set.
Every night when I’m laying in my bed
I hear your voice going round in my head, think of all the things
I could have done and all those things I could have said.
I really will make it up to you
I know now what I’ve got to do,
It took time but now I’ve realised how much I’m missing you.

[CHORUS

Cold Sweat

Sunday, April 21st, 1996
Girl you’re kinda freaky
got something bout your smile
and when you bounce it up and down
I can’t believe my eyes I got to give respect
cos you know how to tease
keep on walking I’ll keep talkin’
you would not believe what I would do

[Bridge:]
With a girl like you
keep your body rockin’
I ain’t gonna stop I just want you
and you know it’s shockin’ when you rock it
I’m a sick sick man cos

[Chorus:]
Girl I get dat cold sweat
creepin’ up on me
I ache when you shake it
Girl I’m just a freak

Yeah, you set dat cold sweat
trippin’ on me
Burnin’ with the fever
Girl, you’re killing me

Girl I’m just a freak in need of therapy
I count the ounce in every bounce
And I just want to feast
I love the way you work it

I love the way you grind
Ya got da funk in every pump If you could read my mind
What I would do….

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Down, you’re burnin’ me down
You’re burnin’ me down
You’re burnin’ me down
I love the way you shake now love the way you break
now keep it comin’ baby I don’t wanna hesitate now

You got me hooked every look makes me freeze
180 degrees you make me buckle at my knees
crazy rumpshaker, sexy move maker baby bring it
on better sooner than later I feel a cold sweat creepin’
up on me we gotta get it on tell me what it’s gonna be

[Bridge]

[Chorus
