Can't Stop This Feeling

Dear Dad,
things didn't turn out quite like I wanted them 2
sometimes I feel like I'm gonna explode

Everybody wanna see u down 4 the count
but that ain't what being a real man's about
the brave and the bold hang around 4 the kill
so the bigger the hole, the bigger we fill it (fill it!)
they can hit us with all they got
but cha know what?
what?


I can't stop this feeling I got
I feel it right down 2 my toes
I can't stop this feeling I got
my body got 2 have it u know
I can't stop this feeling I got
I'll write a letter 2 the whole world
I can't stop this feeling I got
every man, woman, boy and girl

can't stop this feeling I got, I can't stop this feeling I got
I can't stop this feeling I got, I can't stop this feeling I got

I can't stop this feeling I got
u know I can't sleep at night
I can't stop, u know I love it a lot,
I'm talking about an everlasting light.
I can't stop this feeling I got
I get 2 shaking all in my shoes
I can't stop this feeling I got
the doctor say there's nothing that he can do

can't stop this feeling I got, can't stop this feeling I got
I can't stop this feeling I got, can't stop this feeling I got
keep on singing now

can't stop. try 2 tell me how 2 paint my palace,
that ain't where it's at,
that's like trying 2 tell Columbus that the world is flat.
If the song we're singing truely is the best
then that my brothers is the ultimate test
All in favor say Aye.
We can change anything at all.

I, I, I can't stop. can't stop.
I'm in a butt kicking mood 2night ya'll
can't stop. can't stop.
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
can't stop this feeling I got
(no, no, no, no)
Feeling, feeling, feeling, hey!
Hey, pardon me 4 living, (pardon me 4 living)
but this is my world, (this is my world)
u can't make me change (u can't make me change)
maybe we all got 2 rearrange (rearrange)
our brains (our brains)

Yeah. Only we can change the world
only we can change the world
only we can change the world

1, 2, 1, 2, 3
I can't stop this feeling I got
I can't stop this feeling I got
I can't stop this feeling I got
feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, yeah!
yeah!

Lay down Ur funky weapon.
Yeah y'all, here we go
pumpin' the big noise in the 90's.

Pardon me 4 living, but this is my world 2

Pardon me 4 breathing, can we borrow some of Ur air?

Lay down Ur funky weapon, come join us on the floor
making love and music's the only things worth fighting 4.
We r the new power generation, we want 2 change the world.
The only thing that's in our way is U.
Ur old fashioned music, Ur old ideas,
we're sick and tired of U telling us what 2 do.

Pardon me 4 thinking, but there's something under my hair
I bet U thought the lights were on but noone's living there
U think that if U tell enough lies they will see the truth?
I hope they bury Ur old ideas the same time they bury U

We r the new, We r the new, We r the new,
making love and music
new power, we stand

Pardon us 4 caring, we didn't know it was against the rules (shout it out)
if we only want 2 love one another
then tell me now who's the fool (tell me, tell me)
no father, no mother, no sister, no brother, nobody can make me stop
said if U didn't come 2 party child, I think U better get up offa my block.

Lay down Ur funky weapon, come join us on the floor
making love and music's the only things worth fighting 4.

why don't U just be happy, baby.

[chorus repeated with this sung over it]
go on and get up offa my block
get up offa my block, because
love is there if U'd just open up 2 it.
if U'd just believe Ur whole world would change

New power generation, U've got 2 rearrange. We've got
we r the new power generation, U've gotta give up all the fight
we gotta try 2 love one another,
baby. we r the new power generation
we r the new power generation.

So what is the answer 2 the question of U

Must I become naked? No image at all?
Shall I remain upright? Or get down and crawl?

Joy In Repetition

{crowd noise same as for "Alphabet Street"}

He like to frequent this club down up on 36th
Pimps and thangs like 2 hang outside and cuss for kicks

Talking 2 no one in particular, they say "the baddest I am tonight"
4 letter words are seldom heard with such dignity and bite.
All the poets and the part time singers always hang inside
live music from a band plays a song called "Soul Psychodelicide".
The song's a year long and had been playing 4 months when he
walked into the place.
No one seemed to care, an introverted this-is-it look on most of their faces.
Up on the mic repeating 2 words, over and over again
was this woman he had never noticed before he lost himself in the
articulated manner in which she said them.
These 2 words, a little bit behind the beat.
I mean just enough 2 turn u on.
4 everytime she said the words another one of his doubts were gone.

Should he try 2 rap with her? Should he stand and stare?
No one else was watching her, she didn't seem 2 care.
So over and over, she said the words til he could take no more, (no more)
he dragged her from the stage and together they ran through the back door
In the alley over by the curb he said tell me what's your name
she only said the words again and it started to rain (rain, rain, rain)
2 words falling between the drops and the moans of his condition
holding someone is truly believing there's joy in repetition.
There's joy in repetition.
There's joy in repetition.
There's joy in repetition.
There's joy in repetition.
She said love me, love me, what she say?
she say love me, love me.
Joy, why don't u love me baby, joy, why can't u love me baby
joy, come on and love me baby, joy in repetition
Alright, joy in repetition,
Alright, joy in repetition,
Alright, joy in repetition,
Alright, joy, all my wishes add up to one
Love me, joy, Love me, joy, Love me, joy
Love me, Love me, joy, joy, joy in repetition
joy, joy in repetition,
joy, joy (love me) in repetition,
Love me, love, joy, joy, joy in repetition
joy, and I'm gonna say it again, joy, joy, and I'm gonna say it again,
joy, I'd like 2 go way up high and say, Love me, joy
I'll say Love me, joy
Joy, joy in repetition, joy in repetition
There's joy in repetition

I've got the toys, 2 turn Ur body out (think I don't)

Are U playing the part of a shadow? (I am not.)
Or are Ur inhibitions gone? (They are.)
Are U afraid of the love machine? (love machine) (Hell no)
Or will U let it drink U till dawn, drink U till dawn.

Still Would Stand All Time

It's just around the corner, it's just around the block
vthis love that I've been waiting 4, a Love solid as rock
A Love that reaffirms that we R not alone
A Love so bright inside U it glows
and night and day would run 2gether, and all things would b fine
still would stand all hate around us
still would stand all time
still would stand all time

it's not a thousand years away, it's not that far my brother
when men will fight injustice instead of one another
its not that far if we all say yes and only try
then Heaven on Earth we will find

(all time)
(still, still would stand all time)

no one man will be ruler, therefore love must rule us all
dishonesty, anger, fear, jealousy and greed will fall
Love can save us all

Oh, love, Love, oh Love if U would just please give us a sign
Still would stand all time
Heaven, heaven on Earth we all want 2 find (we all want 2 find it)
Still (still) would stand all time

we R not alone people (we're not alone)
tell me can U see the light (can ya see the light)
if U just open Ur eyes (still would stand all time)
so much U will know, so much U will show
Love, Love, its not that far away if we all say yes and give it a try
(Got ta give it...a try...yes!) still would stand all time (I say still)
(so many times) so may times, i thought i could not make it
(still would stand all time)
life was closing in I just knew, I just knew I couldn't take it
that's when Love opened it's arms, and if U dont go in child
Still would stand all time (still would stand all time)
U better run 2 the light, leave Ur past behind
all things will be fine
Still would stand all time

New Power Generation (pt. II)

We R the new power generation)
Don't pick my apples, don't pick my peaches

(We R the new power generation)
Don't U look at me
(We R the new power generation)

I got ta do this, I got the noise, I got ta do this

this here rap's about the true confession
if ya listen close U 'bout 2 learn a lesson
U must know failure before success
now this is the failure I must confess (well...)
I was hanging onto life trying deal with this
playing the games, almost got dismissed
cocaine was the thing that I took on
and nowhere was the place that I was going (preacher, cmon on)
I must tell the truth, I cannot lie
I was headed 4 the kill, steal, destroy, and die
top 2 the bottom 2 bottom 2 top
success is where I'm headed there ain't no doubt
success is something that we all want
but the truth is what we need 2 reach our point
I had 2 give this message the so-called truth
I hope it's somthing in it that's there 4 U
{on top of:
love 2 the left of me, love 2 the right
come on make a noise, somebody
party 2night! (oh yeah!)}
like I told ya before, I'm a tell ya again
success is something that's deep within
so remember the truth U cant go wrong
the flesh is weak and the spirit is strong
I know it 2 do this rap, and I know its right
'cause I did it in the name of Jesus Christ
(cmon somebody lets party 2nite)
Party 2night! (oh yeah!)

U want me 2 what?? (shake!)
what? (shake! shake!)
awww, right

the New Power Generation has just taken control
