The Beginning (Interlude) lyrics - Alicia Keys

I feel like history on the turntables
Old school to new school
Like nothing ever been realer
On the history of the turntables
I'm the mystery of what's inside the speaker cables
I'm Nina Simone in the park and Harlem in the dark
I'm the musical to the project fables
I'm the words scratched out on the record label
I'm the wind when the record spins
I'm the dramatic static before the song begins
I'm the erratic energy that gets in your skin
And if you don't let me in
I'm the shot in the air when the party ends

The Gospel lyrics - Alicia Keys

[Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface:]
Oh yeah, coming through with my Shaolin crew
Two cent for a case, gimme St. Ide's brew
In the midst of broken bottles and crushed up cans
Methtical's in a jam, oh how dry I am
With St. Ides in my system
Crack another I'm blessed, let's go get the next one
And get over, the object is to stay sober
Lay on the sofa, better yet, dial my chauffeur
Call me the Wallabee Champ, stretched out, could never be Son
Ricochet daily hit the deli for a cold one
Naturally blessed, yes, my rap is like a laser beam
Laser beam, laser beam, laser beam...

[Alicia Keys:]
Uh, yeah, okay
Sing

So we all got children, products of the ghetto
Momma cooked us soup, daddy did the yelling
Uncle was a drunk, cousin was a felon
When he got pitched, he told them he wasn't tellin'
Auntie was a cook, her husband was a crook
Cause every job he had they be payin' him off the books
Ghetto university, knowledge is all it took
In a tenement I was listenin' to the hook
Change gon' come, the spirit of Sam Cook
When the feds comin', everybody get shook
Now we doin' life like Eddie Murphy and Martin
On the chain gang, I was singing into the coffin

The roaches and the rats, heroin and the cracks
Couldn't blame me, I'm just giving the facts
Tryna hit the top, the bottom ain't where it's at
Everybody got a past but you can never go back

Sing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)...

Tellin' you like it is, how we ever gon' live?
If we ain't gettin' money, how we feedin' the kids?
It's a revolving door, where brothers be doin' bids
I know it sound wrong but the door will be what it is
Survival of the fittest, this poor girl the illest
Broke parents and black cats give me heebie-geebies
Life seems hard but nothin' ever comes easy
Whatever's in the dark, can always become the light
If you ain't in a battle, how you gon' win the fight?
Gotta speak the truth when I'm up in the booth
The streets be flyin' birds but they don't be on the roof
Poverty is a pain like you pullin' a tooth
Told the streets don't let me go like I'm Bishop in Juice

The roaches and the rats, heroin and the cracks
Couldn't blame me, I'm just giving the facts
Tryna hit the top, the bottom ain't where it's at
Everybody got a past but you can never go back

Sing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
(Gotta sing)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)

(She's a king)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Let me hear you say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Pawn It All lyrics - Alicia Keys

Yeah, ah
Yeah, ah
Yeah, ah
Yeah, ah

I will pawn you my watch
I will pawn you my chain
I will pawn you this gold and diamond ring
'Cause I need it so bad
I would give you everything
Just so I could start my life over again

Sometimes you gotta let it go
Just to make it possible
Sometimes you gotta do it
Be willing to lose it
Freedom has no price, you know
Thinking how we gonna make it now
How we gonna feed the babies now
We gonna make it through it
God gonna see to it
Just get up and do it now

I will pawn you my watch
I will pawn you my chain
I will pawn you this gold and diamond ring
'Cause I need it so bad
I would give you everything
Just so I could start my life over again

Get on up (hey)
Get on up (hey)
Get on up (hey)
Get on up (hey)
Get on up

See, I learned the hard way
Now I'm doing it my way
'Cause life is too short to fall in New York
Can't get up and get away
So I gotta let it all go
Start back from zero
'Cause I've give it up, I don't give a fuck
As long is my hero

I will pawn you my watch
I will pawn you my chain
I will pawn you this gold and diamond ring
'Cause I need it so bad
I would give you everything
Just so I could start my life over again

I will pawn you my watch
I will pawn you my chain
I will pawn you this gold and diamond ring
'Cause I need it so bad
I would give you everything
Just so I could start my life over again

Get on up (hey)
Get on up (hey)
Get on up (hey)
Get on up (hey)
Get on up

Elaine Brown (Interlude) lyrics - Alicia Keys

Okay, can I do one more? It's really quick.
So he said, "Blow black mother, black mother."
He always announce the title and say, "black mother."
This is rap, this is hip hop, this is all that, from the street.
Poetry from the street

Black mother, I must confess that I still breathe
Though you are not yet free
What could justify my prying?
Stop forgive my coward's heart
But blame me not for sheepish needs
While we sleeping in a deep-deep sleep
And I be hazed and dazed and
Fight especially for my hair
Black mother, I curse your drudging years
Your rapes, heart aches, sweat, and tears
But I swear on siege night
Dark and gloom
A rose I wear to honor you
And when I fall, a rose in hand
You will be free and amen for slave of [?]
Can't balance out the two damn flies
I'd rather be without the shame
A bullet lodged within my brain, black mother

Kill Your Mama lyrics - Alicia Keys

Shame on us, on your sons and your daughters
Dig all your gold and we poisoned all your waters
Every piece of our soul is for sale
Now they bought us
Think we know it all
Then look where it got us

Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
You're crying to the wind

Trying to play God
People fucking with genetics
All that you have given and we only disrespected
The rate that we’re going premature Armageddon
That's what gonna happen if we let it

Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
You're crying to the wind

Is there any savin' us
We've become so dangerous
Is there any change in us
Even for the sake of love
How you gonna kill your mama
When only mama is gonna love you to the grave

Killing our selves
Falling down with the sickness
Money is the king
It's a dirty bloody business
There will be no trial
But the child will always witness
If we are in love with hell
Why the hell would heaven visit

Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
You're crying to the wind

When mama gets the belt you gon' wish you didn't do it
Had your chance for redemption
But you fucking blew it
Now the weather is changing it and the hurricane is moving
Right in your direction
What direction are you choosing

Oh, mama, mama
Oh, mama, mama
Forgive us for your pain

Is there any savin' us
We've become so dangerous
Is there any change in us
Even for the sake of love
How you gonna kill your mama
When only mama is gonna love you to the grave

How you gonna kill your mama
How you gonna kill your mama

Elevate (Interlude) lyrics - Alicia Keys

[Nas:]
I already know how to touch you, I already know. Because you gotta always add on, you can't bring, can't just do what was done. You gotta always add on, we always build, we always grow, we elevate. It's by elevation, so, the way I touch this now, it's just gotta be like.. like the gods is like, yeah

[Alicia:]
Yeah, they're like oh! He blew my mind!

[Nas:]
Yeah

[Alicia:]
Wow I think that's a really ill perspective

She was like when I was telling her stuff, oh I can go on too...

Illusion Of Bliss lyrics - Alicia Keys

You know, right now I miss someone that I love
Or fell in love with
I don't wanna cry or nothing but
I'mma just get straight to the story
I'm a 29 year old addict

What would you know?
What would you do?
If you had no control over what you pursue?
Talk yourself, tell yourself, baby
"I'm better than this"
All that I'm fighting
I'm the one who resist

And so I persist
Like a bottomless kiss
An illusion of bliss
An illusion of bliss
And so I persist
Like a bottomless kiss
An illusion of bliss
An iIllusion of bliss

Hey, living in prison of blood and flesh
An easy way out is this high, I confess
So watcha lookin' at?
What do you wanna see?
You can't save me, baby
I don't want it no way

And so I persist
Like a bottomless kiss
An illusion of bliss
An illusion of bliss
And so I persist
Like a bottomless kiss
An illusion of bliss

Is it my life ain't no easy road
I don't know which way to go
Won't somebody see me when I can't see myself
Won't somebody listen before I need help
I'm sick of being judged, sick of being sick
Tell me where's the love, tired being tricked
Sick of being high, sick of being low
Sick of all the lies putting on the show
And so I persist
And so I persist
Like a bottomless kiss
An illusion of bliss
An illusion of bliss

I, I don't wanna be a fallen angel
I, I don't wanna be a fallen angel
Don't say I'm gone, gone
I don't wanna be a fallen angel
Don't say I'm lost, lost
I don't wanna be a fallen angel
Don't say I'm gone, gone
I don't wanna be a fallen angel
Don't say I'm lost, lost
I don't wanna be a fallen angel

Blended Family (What You Do For Love) lyrics - Alicia Keys (feat. A$AP Rocky)

[Alicia Keys:]
Hey, I might not really be your mother
But that don't mean that I don't really love ya
And even though I married your father
That's not the only reason I'm here for ya

I think you're beautiful
I think you're perfect
I know how hard it gets
But I swear it's worth it, worth it

'Cause what you do, what you do, what you do, what you do for love
There ain't nothing, there ain't nothing, there ain't nothing I won't do for us
It may not be easy, this blended family, but, baby,
'Cause what you do, what you do, what you do, what you do for love, love

I know it started with a little drama
I hate you had to read it in the paper
But everything's alright with me and your mama
Baby, everybody here—you know—adores ya

And I think it's beautiful
I think it's perfect
I know how hard it gets
But I swear it's worth it, worth it

'Cause what you do, what you do, what you do, what you do for love
There ain't nothing, there ain't nothing, there ain't nothing I won't do for us
It may not be easy, this blended family, but, baby,
'Cause what you do, what you do, what you do, what you do for love, love

[A$AP Rocky & Alicia Keys:]
For love, for love
Are you this real, my true love?
'Cause you're my baby, rejoice daily
I believe love could bring us closer than blood

[A$AP Rocky:]
I remember having four step-moms at nine
Loved Christmas time and birthday was fly
Ate at my sister's just for dinner 'cause the cookin' was bomb
Her mother's supper made me love her like she took me to prom, uh
And shoutout to my sisters on welfare
Flacko care, if nobody else care
And shoutout to the step-sisters and the step-brothers
And god-sisters, who eventually slept with us

[A$AP Rocky & Alicia Keys:]
Remain loyal, but you did it right, alright
I'm here for you
Everything is alright, alright

[Alicia Keys:]
'Cause what you do, what you do, what you do, what you do for love, yes, just what you do
There ain't nothing, there ain't nothing, there ain't nothing I won't do for us, for you, baby
It may not be easy, this blended family, but baby
'Cause what you do, what you do, what you do, what you do for love, love

That's just what you do, yeah, for love
For love of the babies, for love
We're a blended family, for love
And it's alright, for love
Said it's alright!

Work On It lyrics - Alicia Keys

Work on it, work on it
Work on it, baby

Oh baby, some may think that we moved too fast
But I know you and you know me
Baby, that's what makes it last
Darling, so many lies were spread about us
Oh, that's the heartache, that's the heartache
That makes us build all the trust

I know some people like to say
That the easiest way is to fake it
We gonna make it if we try
Gotta promise not to abuse it
If you use it, don't lose it or break it
'Cause we gonna make it
You and I

When they see us coming they'll say
When they see us coming they'll say

Some days are hard
There ain't no easy way
No matter how we try
Nobody is perfect
But if we just love each other through it all
Baby, now that makes it worth it

I know some people try to say that
The easiest way is to fake it
We gonna make it if we try
Gotta promise not to abuse it
If you use it, don't lose it or break it
We gonna make it
You and I

When they hear us coming they'll say
When they hear us coming they'll say

When they feel us coming they'll say
When they feel us coming they'll say

Oh, we gonna work on it, baby
Me and you, we gonna work on it, baby

Cocoa Butter (Cross & Pic Interlude) lyrics - Alicia Keys

[Man 1:] ...You're supposed to put cocoa butter on your whole body

[Man 2:] Listen I'm talking to remove something that you're insecure about. But listen man, are you insecure about anything on you? No. But there's women that's insecure about stretch mark

[Alicia:] You insecure about something, what you insecure about? Now you gon' have to share

[Man 2:] My chipped tooth. I'm insecure about this bunion I got on my foot. Women are insecure about stretch marks, that's why they hide 'em. That's why they say stretch marks are your beauty scars. You just say, you wanna hit someone. Is you gonna hit, the joint you put me on one time was beautiful. Which joint I put you on? listen but her stomach was a prune but I still kissed her

[Man 1:] Hold up, listen, listen. This is the thing. If you kissed her stomach and you cut your lip...

Girl Can't Be Herself lyrics - Alicia Keys

When a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world
When a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world

In the morning from the minute that I wake up
What if I don't want to put on all that make up?
Who says I must conceal what I'm made of?
Maybe all this Maybelline is covering my self-esteem
Whose job is it to straighten out my curves?
I'm so tired of that image, that's my word
What if today I don't feel like putting heels on?
Who are you to criticize when beauty's only in the eyes...
Of the beholder, so behold her
Sing, sing, sing, why, oh, oh, oh, why, oh?

When a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world
When a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world

Uh, uh, I'm so secure with insecurities
Why is being unique such an impurity?
Why are the numbers on the scale like a God to me?
All of these indifferences are based on our appearances
We please to be appeased
The truest pleasure is the fact that we can breathe
Think it into existence, do it, then achieve
A fairy tale reality, beauty was with a beast
Uh, uh, uh, you're the image of my reflection
Ah, ah, ah, I'm the image of your reflection
Sing, sing, sing, why, oh, oh, oh, why, oh?

When a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world
When a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world

You Glow (Interlude) lyrics - Alicia Keys

I heard this lil girl in PS257 yelled out one day to the teacher and said "that shit is whack" and she stood up in the classroom and walked up from the back and stood in front of the classroom where her history was attacked and said, "You are not niggers, as a matter of fact you are not really even black, I'll prove it to you, I'll put every last one of y'all in a row, put some Vasoline and baby oil in your face and look in the mirror. Look my beloved, you glow."

More Than We Know lyrics - Alicia Keys

Uh come on, yes
(What y'all know about that?...shit's hard)

If I could breathe underwater
Every fish would walk on land
If I could fly in the sky baby
Then wings would be on me
If words could move mountains
If I could swim the ocean without drownin'
If there was pain without hurtin'
Then the impossible has been found

'Cause baby we can do more than we know, more than we know
And baby, baby, oh, there's more than we know, more than we know

Yeah, yeah, if I could moonwalk on the moon
I would glide to you baby
I'd go to war like a platoon
I'd be right there on the front lines
No broken promises in the Promised Land
Let's let freedom set us free again

'Cause baby we can do more than we know, more than we know
And baby, baby, oh, there's more than we know, more than we know

Uh, yeah, uh
See if we just stayed on the ground
Then we would never see the stars
And if you're too afraid to walk in faith
Then you will never know your heart
And if we just stayed on the corner
Then we would never see the world
'Cause baby there's no fate that you can't create

'Cause baby we can do more than we know, more than we know
And baby, baby, oh, there's more than we know, more than we know
Baby we can do more than we know, more than we know
(Yeah darlin')
'Cause baby, baby, oh, there's more than we know, more than we know

If we can believe baby
Do you believe it baby
Do you believe in me darlin'?
(More than we know)
Do you trust in me baby?
When I tell you we can do it
Let me show you we can do it
We can go
(More than we know)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(More than we know)
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey, put 'em back up around
Hey, hey, hey
More than we know
'Cause baby we can do more than we know

Where Do We Begin Now lyrics - Alicia Keys

What they're gonna do 'cause we're the same sex?
And we're spending all this time
This could be the love we ain't made yet
Even though it's on my mind
We ain't even had a conversation
But do you wanna testify?

How will I know this love is strong?
How would it tells when it goes wrong, goes wrong?

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Where do we begin now?
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Where do we begin now?
What will we tell our friends now?

I had a dream about you last night

How would it tells when it goes wrong, goes wrong?

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Where do we begin now?
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

I'm gonna let you know, oh oh oh
I'm gonna let you know, I'm gonna let you know
I'm gonna let you know, oh oh oh

Holy War lyrics - Alicia Keys


If war is holy and sex is obscene
We've got it twisted in this lucid dream
Baptized in boundaries, schooled in sin
Divided by difference, sexuality and skin

Oh so we can hate each other and fear each other
We can build these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked in
Yeah we can hate each other and fear each other
We can build these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked

Oh maybe we should love somebody
Oh maybe we could care a little more
So maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war

What if sex was holy and war was obscene
And it wasn't twisted, what a wonderful dream
Living for love, unafraid of the end
Forgiveness is the only real revenge

Oh so we can heal each other and fill each other
We can break these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself open, yourself open
Yeah we can heal each other and fill each other
We can break these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself open, you're open

So maybe we should love somebody
Maybe we could care a little more
So maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war

What if love was holy and hate obscene
We should give life to this beautiful dream
Cause peace and love ain't so far
If we nurse our wounds before they scar
Nurse our wounds before they scar

Hallelujah lyrics - Alicia Keys

There's a hole in my heart I've been hiding
I've been strong for so long that I'm blind
Is there a place I can go where the lonely river flows?
Where fear ends and faith begins

Hallelujah, hallelujah, let me in
I've been praying but I'm paying for my sins
Won't you give me a sign before I lose my mind?
Woah, hallelujah, let me in

Every step makes me think that I'm closer
But somehow I just never arrived
When our hope disappears, please protect me from my tears
I need you right by my side

Hallelujah, hallelujah, let me in
I've been praying but I'm paying for my sins
Won't you give me a sign before I lose my mind?
Woah, hallelujah, let me in

Woah, woah, hallelujah
Woah, woah, hallelujah
All the places I've been
Please forgive me for my sins
Woah, hallelujah, let me in

Woah, woah, let me in
Woah, woah, let me in
Woah, woah
Please forgive me for my sins
Woah, hallelujah, let me in

In Common lyrics - Alicia Keys

Said I'd be gone by five
But it's sunrise and I'm still in your bed
Goodnight usually means goodbye
Me replaying memories in my head
Look at you, look at you
Look what you made me do
How do you, how do you think know my every move
Who are you? Who are you? You look so familiar
I know you, I know you, baby, I know the truth

We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common
Since I'm being honest with you

Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too

We used to talk 'til midnight
All those days that you stayed at my house
We were just passing the time
When we were young and we ain't had no vows
Now, now, now maybe later on, I'll text you and maybe you'll reply
We both know we had no patience together day and night
Getting high on our supply, yeah, we ain't satisfied
I could love you all occasions

We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common
Since I'm being honest with you

Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be mystical too
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too

Messed up too, messed up too
Just like you, just like you
Messed up too, messed up too
Just like you, just like you

We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common
Since I'm being honest with you

Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too

Brand New Me lyrics - Alicia Keys

It's been a while
I'm not who I was before
You look surprised
Your words don't burn me anymore
Been meanin' to tell ya
But I guess it's clear to see
Don't be mad
It's just a brand new kinda me
Can't be bad
I found a brand new kinda free

Careful with your ego
He's the one that we should blame
Had to grab my heart back
God knows something had to change
I thought that you'd be happy
I found the one thing I need
Why you mad?
It's just a brand new kinda me
[another version has some additinal lines:
"Never bad
I found a brand new kinda free.
Ooh..."]

[one version:] It took a long, long time to get here
[another version:] It took a long, long road to get here
It took a brave, brave girl to try
It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
Don't be surprised, don't be surprised

[one version:] If I talk a little louder
[another version:] If I walk a little taller
If I speak up when you're wrong
If I walk a little taller
I've been under you too long
If you notice that I'm different
Don't take it personally
Don't be mad
It's just a brand new kinda me
[another version doesn't have these additinal lines:
"That ain't bad
I found a brand new kinda free."]

Ooh, it took a long, long road to get here
It took a brave, brave girl to try
I've taken one too many excuses, one too many lies
Don't be surprised, oh, said, you look surprised

Hey, if you were a friend
You'd wanna get to know me again
If you were worth the while
You'd be happy to see me smile
I'm not expecting sorry
I'm too busy finding myself
I got this
I found me, I found me, yeah

I don't need your opinion
I'm not waiting for your "OK"
I'll never be perfect,
But at least now I'm brave
I know my heart is open
I can finally breathe
Don't be mad
It's just a brand new kinda free
That ain't bad
I found a brand new kinda me
Don't be mad
[one version:] It's a brand new time for me
[another version:] It's just a brand new time for me

When It's All Over lyrics - Alicia Keys

And it feels so good
Don't you feel so good?
Talk to me

Hey, I never been this good, not ever, not ever
Never seen this part of me
I know that nothing last forever, however
Oh, I'm not worried about tomorrow
Cause tomorrow may not come
And where my heart take me I follow, you gotta follow

When they lay me down, put my soul to rest
When they ask me how I spent my life
At least I got to love you, when it's all over
When it's all said and done, when it's all over
At least I got to love you, at least I got to love you

Hey, ask when I wanna leave
A lifelong legacy, me loving you and you loving me
Oh, I'm not worried about tomorrow, tomorrow
All I know, all the time we have is borrowed, I feel no sorrow

When they lay me down, put my soul to rest
When they ask me how I spent my life
At least I got to love you, when it's all over
When it's all said and done, when it's all over
At least I got to love you, at least I got to love you

Everybody say hey hey hey hey...

If I do nothing else, oh
If I do nothing else, oh
At least I got to love you, oh yeah
At least I got to love you, tell 'em baby

If I do nothing else, oh
Don't gotta do nothing else, oh oh
At least I got to love you, hey
At least I got to love you

Everybody say hey hey hey hey...
Everybody say hey hey hey hey...

Say mommy, (mommy)
Say I love you (I Love you)
(Buh-bye) Bye bye, already?
Can you say aye, (aye, no)
How about aye aye aye aye (aye aye aye)
Gooood boy, what's your name, (2Chainz)
Hahaha, but what's your name? (Egypt)
Amen, I love you!
(I love you, buh-bye)
(Crazy)

Girl On Fire (Inferno Remix) lyrics - Alicia Keys (feat. Nicki Minaj)

[Nicki Minaj:]
Spirit of Marilyn
Callin' me, audibly, bawlin' she
Said that she would never leave
Continue to torture me
Tellin' me to come with her
Underneath my comforter
And she brought a gun with her
Pills and some rum with her
Took me on the balcony
Tellin' me to jump with her
Yeah I'm in the ghost but, I ain't doing stunts with her
I ain't tryna be that
Haters wanna see that
But I got 'em aggy
Cause I win the gold like Gabby

[Alicia Keys:]
She's just a girl and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway
She's living in a world and it's on fire
Filled with catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

Oh, oh oh oh oh
She got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
She got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Looks like a girl but she's a flame
So bright she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls, say

Oh, oh oh oh oh
We got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Everybody stares as she goes by
Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her as she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

[Nicki Minaj:]
Dear God, if you're here God
Make the fire disappear when they stare God
Take away the fear when they interfere God
Do you fear God?
Cause I fear God
And in my backyard, that's a deer, God
And that's a horse ranch
And to my core fans, keep reppin' me, do it to the death of me
X in the box, cause ain't nobody checking me

[Alicia Keys:]
This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire

Oh, oh, oh...

She's just a girl and she's on fire

And burn the hole inside you

From the fire we make
It's getting hotter and hotter
Like a moth to a flame
I can't stay away
With the fire we make
It's getting higher and higher
Like the night to the day
I can't stay, I can't stay away

[Alicia and Maxwell:]
This invisible pull; and it takes us to the stars
It's getting higher and higher
It's the fire we make (it's the fire we make)
Getting sweeter and sweeter
Like a night to a day
(About to make up these flames)
I can't stay away, say is, no no (yeah)

Tears Always Win lyrics - Alicia Keys

Check it out
It feels kinda crazy

These covers
May keep me warm at night
But they can't take your place
Cause they never gonna hold me tight

And these pillows
May let me rest my head
But they can't say good night
And tuck me in before I go to bed

Say now baby girl you're better off
That's what I'm telling myself (over and over)
But I'm lying to myself
Cause I know I don't want nobody else

[Chorus:]
These lips are missing you
Cause these lips ain't kissing you
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these tears always win
These arms are wanting you
Cause these arms ain't holding you
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these tears always win

These candles
Light up my room at night
But they can't light the room the way you did
When you walked inside, oh baby

If these walls could sing
About everything they've witnessed
Oh it'd be a sad sad song
And it'll probably sound something like this

Say now baby girl you're better off
That's what I'm telling myself (over and over)
But I'm lying to myself
Cause I know I don't want nobody else

[Chorus:]
These lips are missing you
Cause these lips ain't kissing you
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these tears always win
These arms are wanting you
Cause these arms ain't holding you
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these tears always win

Tell me when the hell this loneliness is gonna be over
When everything in this room reminds me of you
Everytime I think, I'm getting closer
Cause tears drown me out, once again I lose

These lips are missing you
These lips ain't kissing you
I put up a fight
But once again these tears always win
These arms are wanting you
These arms ain't holding you
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these tears always win

Crying like oh oh...
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these tears always win
Crying like oh oh...
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these tears always win
These eyes put up a fight
But once again these tears always win

Not Even The King lyrics - Alicia Keys

Money...
Some people so poor; all that they've got is money...
Oh, and diamonds...
Some people waste their life counting their thousands...

I don't care what they're offering...
How much gold they bring?
They can't afford what we've got,
Not even the king...
They can't afford what we've got,
Not even the king...

Oh, castles...
Some people so lonely; what good is a castle
Surrounded by people?
But ain't got a friend that's not on the payroll...

Oh, and I don't care what they bring;
They can have everything...
They can't afford what we've got,
Not even the king...
They can't afford what we've got,
Not even the king...

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Came charging to get what we got...
They offered the crown and the offered the throne;
I already got all that I want...

All the king's horses and all the king's men;
They came marching through...
They offered the world just to have what we got,
But I found the world in you...
I found the world in you...

So darling, listen:
Your arms around me worth more than a kingdom...
Yeah, believe that
The trust that we feel the kings never felt that...

Yeah, this is the song we sing...
We don't need anything...
They can't afford this;
This is priceless...

Can't afford what we've got,
Not even the king...
Can't afford what we've got,
Not even the king...

That's When I Knew lyrics - Alicia Keys

Right there
In a middle of a conversation
Wasn't anything special you said
It was just there

Right then
I didn't have time even over think it
I looked at you and all of a sudden (haha) I was all in

It's like my knees are all weak and them butterflies
They were dancing taking all of my air
From that moment on it was very clear

That's when I knew I fell in love
That's when I knew you were the one
That's when I knew you stole my heart away from me
That's when I knew that I was sunk
That was the moment that I knew I was in love
That's when I knew... that's when I knew... that's when I knew

That day
I didn't know where we were going
Where the night would end
I didn't know there was somethin' brewing, and if it was
I didn't know how much I'd care

That touch
When you barely held my hand
I was overcome with feelings I don't understand
Not in a millions years I didn't think that we'd be here

It's like my knees are all weak and them butterflies
Got me dancing taking all of my air
From that moment on it was very very very very clear, ohhhh

That's when I knew I fell in love
That's when I knew you were the one
That's when I knew you stole my heart away from me
That's when I knew that I was sunk
That was the moment that I knew I was in love
That's when I knew... that's when I knew... that's when I knew
Don't you know it, hey
That's when I knew... that's when I knew... that's when I knew, baby

You know if you know
You know whatcha feel
And there's no denying
I know that's for real
There's nothing to do
Just let it in
Gotta surrender

That's when I knew I fell in love
That's when I knew you were the one
That's when I knew you stole my heart away from me
That's when I knew that I was sunk
That was the moment that I knew I fell in love

(That's when I knew) [repeats until end]

Ohhhh

That's when I knew it... that minute
That's when I knew... it was dependable
Sometimes you get it
Sometimes you get it
That's when I knew it baby
Yeah... that's when I knew... that's when I knew we fell in love

One Thing lyrics - Alicia Keys

What, where am I?

What's life like on a train
Nobody there knows your name
As your decision changed
Do you wish that I came

I thought you'd pick me up from work
I waited for your truck for half hour
I know you said you gonna
But I never thought you'd leave

[Chorus:]
This one thing that was made for us
Chasing us, saving us
I take one thing over everything
I take that thing over anybody

Square face and puppy eyes
Found out they never lied
Your old man lived in the sky
Left your house with a yard
But you went away a different try
Found a place that's your size
Too good to finish life here with me

I couldn't get you to say
Why you wouldn't let me come
What should be simple just ain't
And it shouldn't hurt like it does

[Chorus:]
This one thing is made for us
Won't stay with us, it ain't saving us
But I'll take one thing over everything
I'll take that thing over anybody

Baby, hold me, don't pick me up
I need a compliment
Just a touch from a friend
I need a gentle word
I need your company
I'll keep

[Chorus:]
One thing that was made for us
Chasing us, saving us
I take one thing over anything
I take that thing over anybody

I take one thing over everything
I take that thing over anybody
Oh, oh, anything
Oh, oh, take one thing

101 lyrics - Alicia Keys

You used to the sound of a heart that's breaking
I know it don't faze you anymore
You're the king of the game that you're playing
I know you've played it a hundred times before

You fill your bedroom up with trophies
Then you get a kick out of closing the door
Got all the words to keep on hoping
I know you've said them a hundred times before

Then there's me, all fox for your gun
Then there's me, just love me for fun
Then there's me, no use in pretending
Oh there's me, a 101

I might as well stand in front of a bullet
Close my eyes and kick the chair to the floor
It's like a speeding train is coming,
I know you've crashed it 100 times before

Then there's me, all fox for your gun
Damn there's me, just love me for fun
Uh there's me, no, no use in pretending
Oh there's me, a 101

Everybody says I gotta be crazy
That I deserve everything that I get
But I got a feeling
That makes me wanna ignore all that you've done a 100 times before

Cause then there's me, could I be the one
And baby there's me, to make you undone
Uh darling there's me, no use, no use in pretending
Oh there's me, a 101
Me, 101
So I gotta be, I gotta be, I gotta be a 101
Maybe it's time, maybe it's me
Maybe I could be, Maybe pretend
I gotta be, I wanna be 101,
Yeah baby

Caged Bird lyrics - Alicia Keys

Right now, I feel like a bird
Caged without a key
Everyone comes to stare at me
With so much joy and reverie
They don't know how I feel inside
Through my smile, I cry
They don't know what they're doing to me
Keeping me from flying
That's why I say that...

I know why the caged bird sings
Only joy comes from song
She's so rare and beautiful to others
Why not just set her free?

So she can fly, fly, fly
Spreading her wings and her song
Let her
Fly, fly fly
For the whole world to see

She's like caged bird
Fly, fly
Ooh just let her fly
Just let her fly
Just let her fly
Spread the wings
Spread the beauty

How Come You Don't Call Me lyrics - Alicia Keys

But all I wanna know is baby
If what we had was good...

I keep your picture beside my bed (mmm)
And I still remember everything you said (mmm)
I always thought our love was so right I guess I was wrong
Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone
(And I'm not tryin' hear that sh*t)

What I wanna know baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore

Still light the fire on a rainy night
Still like it better when your holding me tight
Everybody said
Everybody said that we should never part (mmm)
Tell me baby baby baby why
Why you wanna go and break my heart

All I wanna know is baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me Papa
Oh you gotta try

I'll get down on my knees
Hoping you please please please
Oooh won't you call me sometime Papa

Why on earth
Can't you just pick up the phone
You know I don't like to be alone

How come you don't call me
(why must you torture me)
How come you don't call me

(oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
that's why we are here, why we are here (oh, oh)

Cause we are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are, here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here,
Why we are here

28 Thousand Days lyrics - Alicia Keys

Blood in my eye, hand on my heart
Feet on the ground, head to the sky
Cause trouble ain't no friend of mine
Ain't no giving it up, no more wasting time

If you had 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life

Back from hell with my angel wings
Ain't no fear in my voice
Cause I'm making a choice
The devil ain't no friend of me
And that clock on the wall is telling me
(That there's just...)

There's only 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life

There's only 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life

A Place Of My Own lyrics - Alicia Keys

Yes
When it rains it pours, life can be so lonely
But the faith of the storm
Makes the way less heavy
This life can seem so unfair but who cares
If I can rise up then I will get there

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm looking for a place to call my own
Looking for a house to make a home
Looking for a seat upon a throne
Looking for a place to call my own

Hey
Hey

The hardest place to go
Is where I've never gone before
It takes a brave, brave soul
But it makes you much stronger

Now I feel so alive and there's no more cry
I chose to rise up and there's no deny

[Chorus:]
That I finally found a place to call my own
I finally found a house to make a home
I finally took a seat upon a throne
And now I have a place to call my own

So many people they try to make you
Make you believe that
You're nothing without them, no
Don't you believe it
Not for a minute
You gotta show love
This is the way

[Chorus:]
Now I have a place to call my own
Now I have a house to make a home
Now I have a seat upon a throne
'Cause now I have a place to call my own

Hey...
Hey...
I didn't worry
About a thing

Hey
Hey
I'll never worry about a thing.
Come on.

Back To Life lyrics - Alicia Keys

[from "Queen of Katwe" soundtrack]

I'm just tryna hold onto to a dream
Out here lost and nothing's what it seems
I'm just tryna find where I belong
This must be the dark before the dawn
When the place that you were born is not where you belong
Tell me baby, what stops you from wearing a crown?
I wanna be somebody, be somebody
And I wanna go somewhere, go somewhere

Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, baby
Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, baby
Back to life, life, I been waiting for all of my life
Back to life, mmm...

Climb out from the bottom baby
No more looking back only straight up
Foot on the pedal baby, it's time to find what you're made of
Everybody wants to be adored
You don't have to settle for being enough

Back to life, back to life
Nothing can break you
I will survive, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Back to life

I'm not made to be locked up
If a bird don't fly, then what were wings made for?
Oh, I'm not meant to be locked up
And if I don't try, then what was I made for?

Back to life, back to life
Nothing can break you
I will survive, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Back to life

Better You, Better Me lyrics - Alicia Keys

[from "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete" soundtrack]

I look into the mirror
And see a different girl
Hiding from herself with
Not a care in the world
Her smile pretends to fool
Those she chooses to please
If they could only see the tears she cries for help
See, I have been that girl
Didn’t know which way to turn
Then one day I turned to me

I told myself to wake up
It’s gonna be a brighter day
I just have to believe that
My dreams won’t have to wait
At times I’ve lost my mind
Had to look deep inside
And find a way to get over
Had to swallow my pride
I searched the world for and answer
But I’ve been searching too far
Because I’ve been here all along

I’m here to make a statement
My place I’m here to claim it
Don’t tell me what my name is
I know
I’m gonna make it
I’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me

Feels like forever
Trying to work it out
Sometimes you’re gonna fail
And you know
Sometime it will rain
But the sun will come
When you think it’s all said and done
You know you see the light
And everything is alright
You can do
Whatever you put your mind to
Cause you’re all that you need
Like I do just believe

You’re here to make a statement
You’re place you’re here to claim it
You know just what your name is
I know
You’re gonna make it
You’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me

Brand New Me Part 2 lyrics - Alicia Keys

She wakes up early in the morning just to do her hair y'all
Cause it's a new her
She just wanna live her life tryin' to find her freedom
Been looking for freedom
She may not see the light but she wants it, she wants it
As she stares herself in the mirror

(She's a brand new me, she's a brand new you
She's a brand new me, she's a brand new you
Do what she's supposed to do - she's rollin')
Brand new me, brand new you
Something new overdue
Tadadii tadiram
Tadadii tadiram

Tadadii tadiram

She from the block and she's rollin'
She got her own and she's rollin'
She's all alone and she's rollin'
She's a brand new girl and she's rollin'

They try hard not to care about her new life
They got their own mess
But none of this is for you cause this is her life
Don't need you to apologize
She found a brand new me as she stares herself in the mirror

(She's a brand new me, she's a brand new you
She's a brand new me, she's a brand new you
She's a brand new me, she's a brand new you

She from the block and she's rollin'
She got her own and she's rollin'
She's all alone and she's rollin'
She's a brand new girl and she's rollin'

In my sleep I see her beggin', reaching from me
It took a long road to get here
It took a brave girl, brave girl for trying
She's just like you and me 'cause she wants it, she wants it
As she stares herself in the mirror

(She's a brand new me, she's a brand new you
She's a brand new me, she's a brand new you
Do what she's supposed to do
She do what she's supposed to do
She's a brand new me, she's a brand new you

She's all alone and she's rollin'
She's a brand new girl and she's rollin'

Dreaming lyrics - Alicia Keys

Tryna keep my feet on the ground
But my head is in the clouds
Love's so hard to find
But you know that it's on my mind
Lonely in a daze
I don't know how I got to this place
But it's too good to deny
Oh, so I close my eyes and I fly

Come to me, run to me
I'm praying that you come to me, baby

Even when I'm up all day
When I sleep at night
Baby, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming

Baby, I'm dreaming

Tryna keep my feet on the ground
But the feeling knocks me down
I feel so overwhelmed
I'm under your spell
Tryna keep coming, stay strong
But that don't last too long
But it's too good to deny
Oh, so I close my eyes and I fly

Come to me, run to me
I'm praying that you come to me, baby

Even when I'm up all day
When I sleep at night
Baby, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming

Baby, I'm dreaming

In Common (Remix) lyrics - Alicia Keys (feat. Kanye West & Travis Scott)

[Kanye West:]
Hello, you there?
Yeah, I'm here
You breaking up, I can barely hear you
Naw, you clear
You cool? you mad?
You talk? bad
You up? You been good?
Naw I been bad
What you mean, you been bad?
Baby girl you know I got bad nerves
Got me cursing with the kids in the car
"Mommy, daddy using bad words!"
No more tripping while you at work
No more texting while I'm at church
No more switching up the password
That's the shit that get your ass hurt

[Alicia Keys:]
We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common
Since I'm being honest with you

Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too

Said I'd be gone by five
But it's sunrise and I'm still in your bed
Goodnight usually means goodbye
Me replaying memories in my head
Look at you, look at you
Look what you made me do
How do you, how do you think know my every move
Who are you? Who are you? You look so familiar
I know you, I know you, baby, I know the truth

We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common
Since I'm being honest with you

Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too

[Kanye West:]
Folks all up in our business
Yeezy Season, I'm trending
I bet you they respect the name now
So are we done or we finished?
Cause no matter what anybody say
We been through shit you can't make up
And at the end of the night bae
We'll be back in bed like we famous

[Alicia Keys:]
We got way too much in common
[Travis Scott:]
Way too in common
Drama, gotta silence
The violence, gotta link up
Black skin, the brown ones
Yeah, you can't check us, CNN
Get your baggage, this nigga BET
And everybody taking EBT
Ice cold, my jewelers, go up
Be careful what you wish and hope for
Made it from the hood to the road when the grind was dope
Made it from the hood to the road when the grind was dope

[Alicia Keys:]
We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common
Since I'm being honest with you

Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too

It's On Again lyrics - Alicia Keys (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

[from "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" soundtrack]

[Kendrick Lamar:]
And everybody know the story of David and Goliath
But this is bigger than triumph
This is for the warrior, this is for you and I
This is for euphoria, give me a piece of mind
God is recording this! Won't you look in the sky?
Tell him that you got the behavior of your neighbor
Even when stability's never in your favor
Fly with the turbulence, only last a minute
Land on your dreams, and recognize you live it
Walk through the valley and peaks, with bare feet
Run through the flames, that's more passion for me
I passed testimony just so the world can see
Battle wounds on me, you watching me lick 'em clean
I know, I know, my pride, my goals, my highs
My lows, I know, I know, it's mind control
I know, I could prosper, no imposter
Prosecute my posture
I stand up and I stand by it what

[Alicia Keys:]
I am a freedom fighter, the name that history wrote
And even through disaster, eye of the tiger for hope
I'm trying to find my way back, there's no day off for heroes
And even when I'm tired, "go" is the only word I know

And the night is takin' over
And the moonlight gets exposure
And the players have been chosen
And it seems like fate has spoken
When it seems your faith has broken
By the second, losin' focus
Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off
Unless you move forward
I bet they wonder how I go on, go on [x2]

I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again, woah
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again, woah

I am a lonely hero, tryin' to fight my battles
Life likes to blow the cold wind, sometimes it freezes my shadow
In the midst of all this darkness, I sacrifice my ego
There ain't no room for selfish, we do it for the people

And the night is takin' over
And the moonlight gets exposure
And the players have been chosen
And it seems like fate has spoken
When it seems your faith has broken
By the second, losin' focus
Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off
Unless you move forward
I bet they wonder how I go on, go on [x2]

I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again, woah
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again, woah

The work don't stop, 'cause they don't stop
And everybody here trying to get on top
Everybody from the burbs down to the block
Gotta hold on tight and don't let go, let go
Huh
So you think you're hot?
Gotta grind hard, give it all you got
You can have, or you can have not
You see that a lot in the ghetto (ghetto)
How I go on, go on
I bet they wonder how I go on, go on

I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again

Power lyrics - Alicia Keys

Yeah, come on
Come on, hey
Let me tell you a little story

Grandma used to say nothing before it was time
Used to say that the world would be mine
So I should just have faith
She showed me all I need in this life is for free
Change is one thing that is guaranteed
So I should just keep pace

So I marched on like the soldier in the story
Long the way I met a guy, Victory, oh
He went to my head

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I want the power
(Can you feel the power)

Strong will
Along the road met a girl named Doubt
Wrapped in my mind, couldn't get her out
No matter how I tried it, hey
And somewhere she introduced me to a friend named Fear
Thought I would never get the hell out of here
I had to say goodbye

So I marched on like the soldier in the story
Long the way I met a guy named Glory, oh
He went to my head

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I got the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)

You wanna feel invincible?
If you wanna victorious
If you wanna feel this way
Let me hear you say

Power (power)
Say power (power)
Yeah, power (power)
Say power (power)

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you

Somewhere In The City lyrics - Alicia Keys

Just the other day...
I was looking out the window
And I was thinking...
Somewhere in a city just like mine, uh

Somewhere in a city like mine
Sky is falling
Somewhere in a city like mine
Father's calling

Seas are rising
See yours crying
Dreams may wash away
But we're surviving
Mothers trying
Help us see our ways

So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here

Uh, yeah, come on
Say, say it one more time

Somewhere on an island like mine
World is shaking
Somewhere on an island like mine
Hearts are breaking

Seas are rising
Birds are diving
Dreams may wash away
But we're surviving
Mothers trying
To help us see our ways

So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here

I know, I know, I know
It feels like some things will never change
Oh Lord
Come on, come on, come on
Don't get down
Just start to be the change
That you want in the world
So...

You gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here

Ooh
Everybody knows that love...
Ooh oh, uhuh

Speechless lyrics - Alicia Keys (feat. Eve)

[Verse 1: Alicia Keys]
When I wake up in the morning babe
Can't believe my eyes
Sweetest little part of destiny
Oh yeah
Cause you are now in my life
There ain't no man or prize
Oh noo
Can compare to you
Ain't no words to describe the way that I'm feeling
When I look at you

[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
I'm just speechless baby
Don't know what to say
I'm just speechless baby
The poet in me has gone away
I'm speechless baby
Don't know what to say
I'm just speechless baby
The poet in me has gone away

[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]
True love finally finds you babe
Life becomes a way
Previously unimaginable
Oh yeah
Listen I don't wanna say
It only happens once if even at all
Feel it deep in your soul
And like a fairytale your story begins yeah
What a sight to behold
Makes you...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Eve]
In the mornings when I rise up
Go to the window and I smile with my eyes up
Stare in the clouds like wow look at my luck
Everyday I'm feeling better cause I know I got the best I can be proud of
We can't fall quick
Remember when I used to tell my girls like yo this dude think he so it
Think he so fly
And a'time you try to talk to me I'm like yo don't even dare try
I was on my solo groove I ain't want nothing I ain't need nothing
Man I'm good
Now I'm speechless
Cause I fell for him
The poet in me died
Cause I fell for him

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
I used to know all the words to say
I used to write all the poetry
But now you take my breath away

That Would Be Enough lyrics - Alicia Keys

(from "The Hamilton Mixtape")

Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...

Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...

Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you're alive is a miracle
Just stay alive
That would be enough

And if this child
Shares a fraction of your smile
Or a fragment of your mind, look out world!
That would be enough

I don't pretend to know
The challenges you're facing
The worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind

But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
So long as you come home at the end of the day
That would be enough

We don't need a legacy
We don't need money
If I could grant you peace of mind
If you could let me inside your heart...

Oh, let me be a part of the narrative
In the story they will write someday
Let this moment be the first chapter:
Where you decide to stay

And I would be enough
And this could be enough
This would be enough

Said, I would be enough
And this could be enough
See, we could be enough
Oh baby

I could be enough
We could be enough
This could be enough
Oooh

Don't look no further
Don't go nowhere
I could be enough (I could be enough)
We could have it all

Tell me baby (baby)
Can you feel me? (ayy)
Can I be enough? (Can I be enough?)
And your family? (Me and your family?)
Listen, baby (Listen, baby)
We can have it all (We could have it all)
Can I be enough? (Can I be enough?)
Yeah
Woo

So look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...

Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...
Baby
Darling
Oooh

Typewriter lyrics - Alicia Keys

There we go ladies and gentlemen
Past all of the technical difficulties
That we have lead for experience
I will let you into my laboratory filled with many things
Writing intentions, you see
Such as my typewriter in the corner
Let me show you to the window
So you can see what I see, you know

Desperate am I to
Tell you how I feel for you
No sunshine when you're gone
Peaceful sleep I have none

How can I make it better
I'm under so much pressure
Well I know it won't last
I know that this will pass

You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say

I don't want to falsify
I want to make it right
Can't you see there's work to do
I'm trying to write to you

How can I make it better
I'm under so much pressure
Problem is, problem is
I'll give you space till you get over this

You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say

To torture a woman
Is to feed her loneliness
So please don't leave me lonely
Cause it's your mind that I miss

You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say

We Gotta Pray lyrics - Alicia Keys

Come on, aha
You know

We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray

Pray for the world tonight
We gotta save
Somebody save somebody tonight

Fire in the air
What the hell going on
Sirens everywhere
Singing that street song
Violence everywhere
Barely holding on
What the hell going on
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?

We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
One extraordinary question
Are we gonna run or fight?
So we gotta pray

Pray for the love tonight
Another day
Pray for another try

Smoke is in the sky
What the hell going on
Bullets gonna fly
Ah, right from the gun
Trying not to cry
Barely holding on
What the hell going on
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?

We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
One extraordinary question
Are we gonna live or die?
So we gotta pray

We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray

Zebras And Airplanes lyrics - Alicia Keys

Have you ever wanna fly?
Have you ever wanna run away?
Have you ever closed your eyes, seen a vision and it took you away
Wonder why in my dreams lookin up the sky is so blue
In the jungle I'm feelin so free where dreams do come true

So come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes

Have you ever wanna gallop through the wind where water meets the sand?
If you ever wanna feel like this then come take my hand
Through the paint on the canvass and it cover up your emotion
Now's the time, take a chance, make a wish, let your fantasy begin

And come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes

What do zebras and airplanes mean?
They say zebras running free through the night
Airplanes fly high through the sky
And that can be you and I

So come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes
