ART OFFICIAL CAGE
Welcome home class

U come a long way

Come on let's go

Free people, come on let's go

Free the people, free the people

Eye woke up in the city in a bit of a rage

Trying to free my mind from this art official cage.

[?]..from an early age

A place in heaven far off in the future

Come on let's go

Free the people, come on let's go

Art official

Art official cage

Ghettos 2 the left of me, Marz 2 the right

Why does my kingdom come only where's at night

Why should I expect if eye'm not willing 2 fight

A place in heaven somewhere in the future

Art official, art official

Art official cage

Louder than a bomb since the day of my birth

Got me second class when eye got here first

Lovely score but how am eye supposed 2 know what it's worth

Art official age in the future

Free the people, come on let's go

Starting from the top getting higher so

Never going back underwater, no

Brand new boogie without the hero

Sure Minneapolis get this, no

Eye'm going up lady liberty's dress and blow, blow, blow

Art Official, free the people

Art official, art official

Art official cage

Art official cage

We need u 2 tell us what u know

We need u 2 tell us what u know

Art official cage

Art official cage

Art official cage

Art official cage, cage, cage, cage, cage, cage, cage

Clouds

You should never underestimate the power of a kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect, a kiss on the neck
And every time you catch her singin' in the shower
You should go and get her a flower
Don't matter what the hour
Just rub it on her back, rub it on her back, rub it on her back

In this brand new age
We do everything quick fast in a hurry
All of our lives our staged
Everybody stars, reality so boring
If you screamed out loud (loud)
Top of your voice wouldn't be higher than the crown (no)
Tattoo-less and proud, yeah
We're getting high of something, that doesn't require clouds, no
We don't need no clouds, no

I'm gonna give you something baby
But I wonder does it really even matter if it ain't on the stage
If it ain't on a stage, I don't really think it matters in this brand new age
(When life's a stage, in this brand new age
How do we engage?
Bullying just for fun
No wonder there's so many guns
Maybe we're better off in space)

"Mr Nelson, Mr Nelson, can you hear my voice?
Sir, we know you're a little bit groggy
And you're probably going to find it hard to speak
But don't try to talk or process too much now
We just want to let you know that the medication you were given
Has put you in a suspended animation for quite some time
In fact 45 years
But where you are now, is in a place that doesn't require time
That being said, you are completely safe
And we are here to help you"

You should never underestimate the power of a kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect, a kiss on the neck
It's in my power to love you, it's in my power to love you
It's in my power to love you

Not sure if in Way Back Home it's 'See my best mate up at night' or 'See my beds made up at night coz in my dreams I roam'.

Beds made up....meaning, he's roaming in his sleep, thus not messing up his bed.

Time

This song about time
Say its about time
About time that u
R around

I think its 'bout time
That I got time
Alone with u (yeah, yeah)
Alone with u

I think I'm running out of patience
I think I'm running out of lies
I think its 'bout time I tell the truth
Instead of these alibi's

Well...

I think its 'bout time
That I got time
Alone with u (baby, ah ah)

Cuz ure so fine
When I get mine
Baby u can too

No more peace and quiet
I wonder why
A party full of drunken fools
I betcha some will b the rushing tide
Splashin all over u (you, you, you)

I don't wanna work another day baby
No no stay with me
I wish u coulda stay with me
Stay with me
I don't think it matters anyway
It don't matter girl
For u I'm as rich as I can be
Baby baby oh

I think its 'bout time
That I got time
Alone with u
I know u know
Cuz ure so fine
When I get mine
Baby u can too

Sho 'nuff

Sugar well I'm thinking
That u really need 2 b my pet (oh really?)
And let me put u in my little cage
C'mon
Im sick and tired of playing hard to get
With an animal that's half my age
Sugar well well

My heads a little dizzy
My heads spinning 'round and 'round
Another dirty hotel room
Another lonely town (lonely town)

I need some time to rest?
I need some time with u

This is what it feels like

I know what I wanna do

This is what it feels like

Gonna lemme tell u one time

that I think its 'bout time
That I got time
Alone with u
Cuz ure so fine
When I get mine
Baby u can too

Oh oh I think I need u 2 b my girl
Travel with me around the world
Baby baby
So no paper
This works out fine
But not half as fine
As when I get time
With u

Sugar have u heard

I think its 'bout time
That I got time
Alone with u
Cuz ure so fine
When I get mine
Baby u can too

Down down down

I think its 'bout time
that I got time
with u
so fine
I get mine
Baby u can too

U, u, u, u
Baby baby u can too!
Ooh ooh oh...

I think it's 'I don't wanna WAKE another day, unless you're gonna stay with me'.

Excellent thread. Kudos to those contributing.

English translation:

Ladies and gentlemen
Kings and queens

and everything in between,

Welcome 2 the class

U are about 2 do something

That will change your life
Forever…

OPEN THIS CAGE!

BREAKDOWN

.

Listen 2 me closely as the story unfolds
This could be the saddest story even been told
I used 2 want the house with the biggest pool
I've been missing out I just feel like a fool

.

U keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
U keep breaking me down, down, down

.

I used 2 throw the party every New Year's Eve
1st one intoxicated, last one 2 leave
Waking up in places that U would never believe
Give me back the time, U can keep the memories

.

U keep breaking me down, down, down
U keep breaking me down, down, down, oh
U keep breaking me down, down, down
U keep breaking me down, down, down

.

Every book I've read said that I would meet somebody like U
Whenever I was sorry, so sorry 4 the things I used 2 do
A journal full of numbers that I used 2 go through
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 all behind me now, all because of U

.

U keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down

.

U keep breaking me, U keep breaking me down

I don't wanna wanna wanna go, no no no no
Don't wanna go down, down, down, down, down, down
Baby, baby

.

See there's a door that U can walk through
Where there used 2 be a wall
I don't care, it's cool as long as U catch me, baby
(Catch me when I fall) If there's ever a fall
The closer 2 the breakdown, the closer we get, closer we get
Closer we get, closer we get
2 the breakdown

[Edited 10/6/14 10:53am]

U KNOW

.

Put your hands together
No, like this
Surprise, surprise
Another treat, another trick
Huh, this is sweet
Which one's which?

.

4 the record, let me state that I never had a reason to break contractual endeavor
Or sever relationship with anyone I pleasure

4 the playa, let me stop and say-a that I only paid attention when I heard U mention That he tried 2 take your treasure
Oh no he didn't
What then?

.

And as a matter of fact I would have gave U back
But then he had a heart attack when U made him pack
And said his shack without U would be better

See, what I really mean, uh, uh

.

But see, what I really mean is that our future queen
Should never be in frusta-ration with this rock and roll machine
No no, not ever

.

Yeah, huh, U know
What

.

U know how much I want U
U know how much I care
When he gone, he know I'm gonna flaunt U
U know, U know, U know

.

U know how much I want U
U know how much I care
When he gone, he know I'm gonna flaunt U
U know, U know

.

If U really wanna find the answer 2 this cancer, then we must rewind…
Then nevermind the first opinion
U better ask somebody else

.

2 run this game requires fame
U stole a name and nothing gained
Unless U sacrifice my dear
It's only claim 4 his dominion

.

And any question of the deal
Is met with another demand 2 kneel
And reprimand concealed allegations of U sinning
Uh, what’s that all about?

That's why, uh, uh

.
Feminine wiles are not surprised
In recognizing that the power of the breasts
Is just a test that U'll be winning, oh, baby
U got this, U freaky thing, come on

.

U know how much I want U
U know how much I care
When he gone, he know I'm gonna flaunt U
U know, U know

.

U know how much I want U
U know how much I care
When he gone, he know I'm gonna flaunt U
U know, U know

.

There it is, put your head down, just know thyself, talk to me, right…
.
U know how much I’m gonna flaunt U
U know, U know

.

U know how much I want U
U know how much I care
When he gone, he know I'm gonna flaunt U
U know, U know
Get it

BREAKFAST CAN WAIT

.

Hey baby, where U going?
No please don't rush off so soon
And if U leave me like this
What I'm gonna do?

Finally my eyes are open
I dream about U all night long
The only thing that I've been hoping 4 is before U go 2 work babe, we get it on
I ain't tryin' 2 make U blush
But I just wanted 2 tell ya, I think U're great
I know U're late, but I need another taste
Breakfast can wait

Grits and gravy, cheese, eggs and jam
Can nobody cook it like U girl
No ma'am!
This here early morning, need something else on my plate
I think I want another bite of U
Breakfast can wait
Breakfast can wait

U really put it on me
U shut it down last night
I thought the police was gonna come
Was it loud?
Loud, yeah, quite
Yeah, I ain't tryin' 2 make U blush
I just think U're great
Ain't no need 2 rush
Breakfast can wait

Finally my eyes are open
I dream about U all night long
The only thing that I've been hoping 4 is before U go 2 work babe, we get it on
I ain't tryin' 2 make U blush
But I just wanted 2 tell ya, I think U're great
I know U're late, but I need another taste
Breakfast can wait

Uh
Hotcakes smothered in honey (wait a minute)
Huh, I'm gon' have 2 pass
Fresh cup of coffee, no, no
I'd rather have U in my glass
Only thing that’s gonna sweeten my tongue
Only thing that's gonna last now
Is another bite of U babe
Breakfast can wait

Finally my eyes are open
I dream about U all night long
The only thing that I've been hoping 4 is before U go 2 work babe, we get it on
I ain't tryin' 2 make U blush
But I just wanted 2 tell ya, I think U're great
I know U're late, but I need another taste
Breakfast can wait
Breakfast can wait

Can't stop even if the police come
Breakfast can wait
I got a double-time kick drum
Breakfast, breakfast
U can't leave a black man in this state
Breakfast can wait
Oh no
Breakfast, breakfast can wait

Come here baby, let me put U on my plate
Hey now
Breakfast can wait
Better call Ur job yeah
Breakfast can wait!
Tell 'em U gon' be late
Breakfast can wait!
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Breakfast can wait
Sweetness in my tongue
Breakfast can wait
Come here baby, let me show U where I'm from
Breakfast can wait

Oh, U know U might need 2 pray 4 me
U might need 2 come again
Breakfast, breakfast can wait
Oh yeah-yeah

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

.

Been a couple hundred hours since I got Ur call
U use 2 treat me like David, but now I feel like Saul
Been making it rain all around the world
What difference does it make when the boy ain't got his girl?

.

This is what it feels like {x2}
This is what it feels like, babe {x2}
This is what it feels like {x2}
This is what it feels like, babe
.
Andy Allo:
Ur name's not David and it sure ain't Saul
Maybe U have no business writing on my wall
Springtime on the Philistines before the middle of the fall (middle of the fall)
Silly rabbit needs 2 stop doin' tricks if U wanna get my call
(If U wanna get my call)

.

This is what it feels like {x2}
(This is what it feels like, babe)
This is what it feels like, baby
This is what it feels like {x2}
This is what it feels like, babe {x2}

.

Everybody goes up and down in a lifetime love affair
Makin' up, just breakin' up and pullin' each other's hair
What I wouldn't give 2 have U right here next 2 me
Show U want I really feel about U, one kiss and U will see

.

This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe {x2}
This is what it feels like {x2}
Yeah
This is what it feels like, babe {x2}

.

Andy Allo:
The art of seduction, U and me is the right equation
And all U need 2 reach my lovin' is pie, ice bird and a muffin
I can't wait 2 be Ur baby... baby, here I am... just take me

.

This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, baby
This is what it feels like {x2}
This is what it feels like, babe {x2}
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe {x2}

.

So finally beloved we meet at last
Middle of the here, never-mind the past
Only way 2 get 2 where ya never been
Let’s party like U ain't gonna party again

.

Get into the rhythm it's good 4 the soul
Let's funk, let's roll

Come on everybody let's funk and roll

.

Whether U're coming by bus or a train
Shake though it's hatin' cause they going insane

Another motherfunker (??) U're committing no crime

.
