lisa 'left eye' lopes
ya'll never really know me from the stories i tell
from the lifestyle i lead and the records i sell
caught up in situations detrimental to me
and i been through every war just for the world to see
is always moving situations do change
don't always work out just the way that we planned
necessary be my friend and my foe
either love me or you hate me
to be respected never ever say die
never neglected spread my wings and fly
ive been though struggles so much stress on my brain
actin' out my life on stages and still had to maintain
twist the story all around and leave me misunderstood
no privacy but that's the price of this fame
my destiny to be a soldier through fame
in in side inside intelligence
say say say say what you gotta say
always asking you will amazed
in in side inside intelligence
say say say say what you gotta say
always ask and you will amazed
just to make it in the world and go against all odds
come from the gritty inner city to a superstar
number one hits consistently for ten long years
put my soul in every project my blood sweat and my tears
underestimate don't hate and i keep it lavish
but it don't mean nothing if i cant find peace of mind
packing all distractions away leave them behind
say goodbye hard times small crimes and felonies
a new beginning im winning envisioning the breeze
i'm dressed in all white linen and falling to my knees
thankful for all that's been given
tropical trees 90 degrees
do like the birds and the bees and start a family
so remise on every line that i wrote
know that i never will surrender and its truth that i spoke
in in side inside intelligence
say say say say what you gotta say
always asking you will amazed
in in side inside intelligence
say say say say what you gotta say
always ask and you will amazed
i flew i flew like water like water
am i desire like fire like fire
i'm picking up the dirt from the earth the earth
imaging i'm the wind redelivering from people within
i flew i flew like water like water
am i desire like fire like fire
i'm picking up the dirt from the earth the earth
imaging i'm the wind redelivering from people within
in in side inside intelligence
say say say say what you gotta say
always asking you will amazed
in in side inside intelligence
say say say say what you gotta say
