Girl For All Seasons

It's hard to be a girl these days
I'll tell you all the reasons
girl, gotta look good in every season
just ask yourself this girl, who are you pleasin?
staring in the mirror, squeezin and tweezin
If I could turn back the hands of time
and have a dime for all the hateful thoughts in my mind
like- I can't do this and I can't wear that
are my hips too big, does my ass look fat?
might as well be superman, not a supermodel
there ain't nothing you could buy in a fancy bottle
that'll ever let you love your own reflection
girl, close that magazine with your introspection
cause you could feel good winter, spring, and fall
and when summer time comes you gonna have it all
(gonna have it all)

I'll be your girl for all seasons
I'll be your girl for all reasons
fulfilling all of your needs and
I'll be your girl for all pleasin
all the four seasons
all of your needs and
stay with your man for all the wrong reasons
all of your screamin all of your demons
not enough time in the world for my healing

girl, it's a setup and you're meant to fail
you'd be better off on a live third rail
just a few pass the skin test
they don't care about the rest
and yo, they mix lies into the cement
we drink poison water and spend til we're spent
but youth it fades, crumbles, and ferments
eyelash curl, this is the first world
but vanity don't look good on the girl
oh no - so when they line us up for roll call
let me make it clear on which side I fall
cuz I'm a full grown woman, once a gifted child
and this is Northern State, not Girls Gone Wild!

I'll be your girl for all seasons
I'll be your girl for all reasons
fulfilling all of your needs and
I'll be your girl for all pleasin
all the four seasons
all of your needs and
stay with your man for all the wrong reasons
all of your screamin all of your demons
not enough time in the world for my healing

(we can try and we can fall and we can fight to make it better
we can try and we can fall and we can fight to make it better
we can try and we can fall...)

I'll be your girl for all seasons
I'll be your girl for all reasons
fulfilling all of your needs and
I'll be your girl for all pleasin
all the four seasons
all of your needs and
stay with your man for all the wrong reasons
all of your screamin all of your demons
not enough time in the world for my healing

clean up your mess and tired of stressin
life and regrets and seeing you less
I think I can leave by the end of the year'
fight for your right to a life without fear


Nice With It

I got eyes all over this city, yo i cover mad ground
Surf the waves of traffic and yo, i get around
Everybody in the kitchen when I'm the one cookin'
And i ride a wild buck through the streets of Brooklyn
We travel and we roam, we're an American band
Where i lay my head's my home with my american man
I hit the fuckin stage like a battering ram
I make myself known so you know who i am
I'm always maken moves, i never hesitate
You hesitate you die, it's do or don't, you don't try
And I'm the kinda girl that's nice with it
In my jeep just banging that Gang Starr shit
You can call me Spero, the thinking girl's hero
Or call me Correne, Correne the dream
I'mma change my name, change my p.k.a.
Keep fuckin' shit up till i've got nothing to say

Are you feeling me now that the times are changing
And you're walking away from the games you're playing
And i guarantee my name's on the tip of your tounge like everytime
You up in my face and you get so friendly
And I'm turning my back and my ears are ringing
Cause i guarantee that my name is on the tip of your tounge like evrytime you talk

You don't know what's going on in my head
Everytime you don't like what I said-I gotsta hear about it
I'm the princess I'm the princess-don't talk
Keep arguing over who's the king of New York
Bad things happen when you leave this city
I feel so ugly but I look so pretty
In the thick of it all-I'm sick of it all
My telephone ring-a-ding I can't think of it all
And now the jawn is on and I'mma long long gone
Wish I was chillil like your grandma in Boca Raton
singing-Hail Mary-au contrary
I wrote the whole mother fuckin rhyme dictionary
So nifty-i could take all you down with me
I'm 25 now-check me out when I'm 50

Are you feeling me now that the times are changing
And you're walking away from the games you're playing
And i guarantee my name's on the tip of your tounge like everytime
You up in my face and you get so friendly
And I'm turning my back and my ears are ringing
Cause i guarantee that my name is on the tip of your tounge like evrytime you talk

Cuz it's once, twice, three times the charm
Northern State on wax still cause for alarm
All-State, All-City they know who we are
You know my mind is moving in the right direction
Breathe in, breathe out, create the connection
Said everything's connected going round and round and round
And I'm bound to the ground by the sound
I can't sit down, I can't be still, no rest until I get my fill
And it got this way against my will
And now i can't stop until I hear the beat drop
I rock a tank top flip flop summertime hip hop
The train goes faster when I write my rhymes
Said you're reading, I'm writing in between the lines
And now you're looking at me thinking I got something to proove
Said I'mma prove the groove that i could make your head move
There's energies in the trees and you can feel it in your knees
And I need to feed the seed and you could follow my lead
Turn off the lights and your eyes adjust, fall in my arms
Yo do you trust me-I can find my way in the dark

And i guarantee my name's on the tip of your tounge like everytime
You up in my face and you get so friendly
And I'm turning my back and my ears are ringing
Cause i guarantee that my name is on the tip of your tounge like evrytime you talk


Style I Bring

Service and devotion, I motion to continue
With the style I bring you-the style I bring you
In the Hotel California and they're turning down the beds
And I came to spread love to the west coast heads
Love letters to Brooklyn from the Hollywood Hills
No frills, a thrill seeker seeking real cheap thrills
Like rain crying into a reservoir
Come out, come out wherever you are
I said come out, come out wherever you are
To all the MC's/to the gay MC's (but they grow orange trees in LA)
To the hearts of gold
NYC seasons change, summers fold
And I know I'm geeting old

Service and devotion, I motion to continue
With the style I bring you-the style I bring you

We're driving round, our feet are flying over the ground
No time to sleep
I'm writing rhymes and you're counting sheep
From the east coast to the west coast
There is always one ghost-hiding in your dreams and lurking unbeknowst
Asking what are you afraid of-why you have the chills?
Said we rock the bottom of the valleys to the top of the hills
Now you're paying close attenion to all of our verses
Said you're learning all the words and counting all of the curses
And I don't know where I'mm going cause I can't seem to see
Beyond tomorrow through the haze, through the cloouds how it'll be
And the past is nothing but a memory to me

Service and devotion, I motion to continue
With the style I bring you-the style I bring you

Towering and cowering and tumbling and falling
my telephone keeps ringing but I said to stop calling me
My head is filled with cotton, now it's soaked up in the years
And it's soaked in the tears and the fears and the beers
Everyday I be rotting up in urban decay
You know i'm headed to the Betty said this girl in the worst way
Insanity and vanity, I'm giving into sin i said
"Oh the humanity" and pass another valium
And Muggs not drugs-hugs and french kisses
I'm that crasy b*tch who flips all of the switches
Oh boy-listen to me When I say hop that plane
cuz you've got nothing to lose
And everything, everything, eveerything to gain

Service and devotion, I motion to continue
With the style I bring you-the style I bring you
