Tekst :
Take me back to ChicagoLay my soul to rest
Where my life was free and easy
Remember me at my best.
Take me back to Chicago
Where my music was all I had
I tried to be as good as I could
And sometimes that made me sad.
Take me back to Chicago
Why don t you take me back
Take me back
take me back
To Chicago.
I still dream of the lake of peacefulness
The warm summer breeze
Cause my life was so much simpler then
Street comers and Tastee Freeze.
Take me back to Chicago
Cause hustlin s not my style
L.A. was just a bit too hard
I wish I could be a child
Livin back in Chicago
in Chicago
Why don t you take me back
Take me back
take me back
To Chicago.
Take me back to Chicago
Lay my soul to rest
Where my life was free and easy
Remember me at my best.
Take me back to Chicago
Cause hustlin s not my style
. . . Livin back in Chicago
in Chicago
Why don t you take me back
. . .
Take me back
take me back . .

5, 9 (10, 11), 12, 18 (what!)She s the one you thought would never do a solo LP
Yeah, now what chick could outsell me?
Drama comes in dozens and I know you love it
A rose is still a rose, so I rose above it
The more that they see the woman got a mind of her own
The less that they want a part of my throne, it figures
But the more they compare me to the ones they could own
They know they never should have left me alone
I m bigga
No doubt
Money gang and my G s is up
Treat me like David Blaine and freeze me up
Let me address the issue
I m super not superficial
Spoil me
The only statement I m makin is royalties (rock the dollars)
Seven digits never under my bank account hold
Numbers like your phone number, plus area code
Gamble with your career
Go ahead chance her
See what happened with scrubs on my records
Deserve answers
Oh Left Eye
What s happenin ?
Everybody wanna know where the hell you been
Oh Left Eye
Teachers, children, mothers, and thugs
Everybody loves Miss Left Eye

Oh Left Eye
Teachers, children, mothers, and thugs
Everybody loves Miss Left Eye

Tekst :
No much I gained or break, it s those tiny little spotsDaily life that makes me forget my wounded heart
It doesn t matter when, it may rain or it may shine
Glow and reason months come back from time to time
(repeat)
No much I gained or break, it s those tiny little spots
Daily life that makes me forget my soggy heart
It doesn t matter when, it may rain or it may shine
You will always be here stored inside my mind
And I give you all my love
Sparks some fly
Tell you what I m feeling, though
Oh, whoa, oh....
I can give you a thousand years
You ll be here
Leave you with a thousand tears
Oh, whoa, oh.....
Whoa, whoa....oh, oh
Can I be so alone?
Can I be so alone?
Hmm....
Oh, oh....whoa, oh, oh......
La la la la la la...hmm.....
