Tell Me Why - Nick Heyward 7:03

(Nick Heyward / Graham Sacher) 1988

Hm I don't really know
Oh I don't understand
I don't know what you really mean
or what you try to say to me
Ooh oh oh oh
Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
Tell me why [Te-te-tell]
Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
I don't honestly know

And they say love will go off
You get over it someday
I don't know if that's true
Cause life pretty hurts without you
Oh oh life pretty hurts without you

Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
Tell me why [Te-te-tell]
Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
I don't honestly know

(I'm looking through your) Blue eyes
(I'm looking through your) Blue eyes, blue eyes

Oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah...
Te-tell
Te-te-tell tell tell
Ah ah ah
Te-tell
Te-te-tell tell tell...

I don't understand
Ooh I've been breaking my heart over you
Remembering all the things you say
Keep faith, love will follow truth
Maybe we'll meet one day
Won't you come back to see me someday

Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
I don't honestly know

Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
I don't honestly know
(No I don't honestly know)

Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
Tell me why [Tell tell tell]
I don't honestly know
(No I don't honestly know)

Tell me why [Tell tell tell] (Hm stand here with me)
Tell me why [Te-te-tell] (Hm when I'll see you again, hm)
Tell me why
I don't honestly know
(No I don't honestly know)

Tell me why (Hm stand here with me)
Tell me why (Hm when I'll see you again, hm)
Tell me why
I don't honestly know
(No I don't honestly know)

The Crown - Gary Byrd & The G.B. Experience featuring Stevie Wonder 10:34

(Stevie Wonder / Gary Bird) 1983

Uh, people of the world wherever you be

Welcome to Cosmic University

Where life is the journey and love is the trip

And the study of them will make you hip

I'm professor of the rap and when I speak

I guarantee that my lines will not be weak

They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste

That's why I'm here and on the case

Rapping up every mind with a special degree

In socio-psycholo G.B.E

The Gary Byrd Experience is my course

When you take my class you will feel the force

'Cause I know the roots that the rap is from

When I speak to you I am not dumb

Hear my rap and begin to dance

And I promise you this, you will advance

You may have seen the Raiders of the Lost Ark

But you still left the theater in the dark

So clap your hands to the beat as the Wondersound

And the G.B.E. shine on the crown

[You wear the crown]

[I wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[The crown]

I said once upon a time in Alkebu

Lived the kings and queens who look like you

It was a land of sun with a golden shine

A place that once was yours and mine

Home of a many great dynasty

Who created the science and astronomy

When the Romans came to study man

And the Greeks found out about the plan

In case you wonder what else they did

The Alkebulans created the pyramids

And before Napoleon could even blink

In Alkebu there stood a giant sphinx

Some say they came from outer space

But they are a part of the human race

If you know the place where they can be found

Then you may be the one who can wear the crown

[You wear the crown]

[I wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[The crown]

[I wear the crown]

[You wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[Get down]

[We wear the crown]

(We wear the crown)

Not the greatest dancer with the baddest shoe

Not the slickest robber that you ever knew

Ever wore the crown though they wanted to

But they'll want to until they die

Not a man of science with a PHD

Not a lady of law, Master's degree

Will they wear the crown unless they can see a unique reality

You see when you say you wear the crown

You make sure you know, it is profound

In case it sounds like a mystery

I'm talking about our story

It can make Akenaten nod to you

It can make Nefertiti back in you

With the crown you will begin to glow

When it's secret you begin to know

Next time you feel like you're in a rut

Go see the mighty king of all "King Tut"

It will blow your mind, no doubt it's true

Cuz guess what? King Tut looks just like you

You are Cleopatra, queen of the Nile

The sun would wink when it saw your smile

You are the Hanibal of the history book

And the earth would tremble with your very look

You are the builders of the pyramid

You are the face up on the sphinx

You rode on the Nile in grace and style

Look at yourself today and think

See the hieroglyphics up on the wall

Like the dancers on the floor, they will not fall

If you take one look, get purpose down

And then you will see who wears the crown

[You wear the crown]

[I wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[The crown]

[I wear the crown]

[You wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[Get down]

[You wear the crown]

[I wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[The crown]

[I wear the crown]

[You wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[Get down]

(I do recall so very well when I was just a little boy)

(I used to hurry home from school, I used to always feel so blue)

(Because there was no mention in the books, we read about my heritage)

(So therefore any information that I got was education)

(Bums, hobos at depot stations, I would listen with much patience)

(or to relatives who told the tales that they were told to pass ahead)

(Ah, but then one day from someone old, I heard a story never told)

(Of all the kingdoms of my people, and in how we fought for freedom)

(All about the many things we have unto the world contributed)

(You wear the crown)

[We wear the crown]

(We wear the crown)

It's not Star Wars, it's not Superman

It's not the story of the Ku-Klux-Klan

The crown will appear in the G.B.E.,

but it's never seen on your TV

It's in black and white in your gold mind

A picture so old it defies time

Alex Haley drew it in his book

It's what Kunta kept in his other foot

Ghana Songhay and old Mali

They are the roots of your own family tree

Kingdoms so vast and knowledge wise

They remove cataracts from human eyes

And yet today some refuse to see

And live in fear of their discovery

Now in fourteen hundred and ninety-two

Columbus sailed to ocean, true

But years before in Alkebu

A ship set sail with a chocolate crew

2000 years before Colombo came

The Olmecs paid tribute to their fame

Stone heads with faces eight feet high

That the Hulk could not lift to his thigh

But the facts historians avoid

First to arrive was the Africoid

It may shock the House and Shockley, too

And if you're not prepared, it may shock you

While some had doubts that the world was round

In America guess who wore the crown

[You wear the crown]

[I wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[Get down]

When you wear the crown you will not need

To smoke, to cum, to dust or spit

With the crown you can become the high

And you will make it if you try

But don't you ever forget what it will take

To wear the crown, you can not fake

If you're gonna lead you got to be a king

And give the world your everything

Or be a man like Malcom X

And demand for all the very best

Or conduct the railroad like Harriett

We all owe her a lifetime debt

If you're gonna fight don't do it free

Make 'em pay to see just like Ali

Or sing like Ella and make them guess

Is it you or is it Memorex

If you play a sport, become number one

Like Joe Louis and Jackie Robinson

Make Doctor J your shining star

Shoot black magic, you're with Jabar

Or you can write, then write some books

Like Weston Hughes or Our Miss Brooks

If you think you're smart don't deceive us

be emoted, be a genius

And don't let anybody confuse the fact

You don't wear the crown just because you're black

Everybody in the world has a crowing place

That becomes their culture and their face

And so it is we will not deny

Our history, or buy the line

We have no claim to be renouned

When we were first to wear the crown

[You wear the crown]

[I wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[The crown]

[I wear the crown]

[You wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[Get down]

[You wear the crown]

[I wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[The crown]

[I wear the crown]

[You wear the crown]

[So proud to say]

[That we all wear the crown]

[Get down]

Album: The Best of The SOS Band - Tabu

The finest

As life goes on
You learn to hold on
You learn to appreciate the finer things in life
The finest

If I had a chance
I'd always choose love
Up or down, good or bad, I don't mind
Just as long as it's real

My friends say I'm lucky
To have someone as good as you
My love's understanding
Understanding how to hold on to you

After all that we've been through
Time won't change the way I feel about you
Out of all the loves before
You're the finest I'll ever know (Finest I ever)

If I had to choose
I'd be by myself
I wanna be in love
But with nobody else, uh

Time flies when you're with me
Goes so slow whenever you're away
Make up my mind and I'm positive [A better love]
A better love will never come my way

After all that we've been through (Mmm, hmm)
Time won't change the way I feel about you (Mmm'mmm')
Out of all the loves before (Mmm'hmm'hmm')
You're the finest I'll ever know (Finest I ever)

After all that we've been through (That we've been through)
Time won't change the way I feel about you
Out of all the loves before
You're the finest I'll ever know (Finest I ever)

Know [Know]
You keep me in love [You keep me in love]
I'm lost [You're lost]
Jus call me, I'll come [Just call me and I'll come]

No other love before [No other love]
Could do what you do [Could do what you do]
A little so much [Oh]
So much more from you [Much more]
No one else will do [No one else will do]
There's no substitute
Your love's the finest love I've ever know, ooh'ooh'ooh'

Oh, baby, you're the finest
The finest I've seen
Oh, baby, you're the finest
The finest one for me

Oh, baby, you're the finest
The finest I've seen
Oh, baby, you're the finest
The finest one for me

Oh, baby, you're the finest
The finest I've seen
Oh, baby, you're the finest
The finest one for me (Oh)

After all (Ooh) that we've been through (That we've been through)
Time won't change (Change) the way I feel about you (No, no, no, no)
Out of all (Hmm) the loves before (The finest love)
You're the finest (Uh-huh) I'll ever know (Finest I ever)

After all (Ooh) that we've been through (That we've been through)
Time won't change the way I feel about you
Out of all the loves before (Out of all the loves I had before)
You're the finest (Yes, you are) I'll ever know (Finest I ever)

Oh, baby, you're the finest
The finest I've seen
Oh, baby, you're the finest
The finest one for me

Oh, baby, you're the finest
The finest I've seen
Oh, baby, you're the finest
The finest one for me
