D'Angelo - Voodoo (2000)
01. Playa Playa
Steal U wit my 2 shot
Control U wit my drop
Blaze U wit my handle
Bless U wit my pops
Play U like a pro
And take over the show
Stick U and defeat u
Rob U of your glow
Rob U of your glow
Bring the drama playa
Give me all U got
Make your move
Shoot your best shot
I see right through your riddle
Slip right past the block
Set U up for 2
Shoot your best shot
Shoot your best shot
We're the playas number one
Playa playa play me
We dyin 2 set it off
MarloN, Slick and Weasel
Can hardly wait 2 ball
My groove is tight drummers
Drummin' right
Dirts our secret weapon
Each and every night
Each and every night
We came here to rip shit
Strip U of your clout
Later 4 all y' all haters
We gon' turn this motha' out
If U came to ball u gonna lose it all
We don't plan 2 stop
Til U bounce off the wall
Til U bouncin' off the wall
We're the playas number one
02. Devil's Pie
Fuck the slice we want the pie
Why ask why till we fry
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs womeN wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them stand all in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Who am I to justify
All the evil in our eye
When I myself feel the high
From all that I despise
Behind the jail or in the grave
I have to lay in this bed I made
If I die before I wake
I Hope the lord dont' hesitate
2 get 2 heaven done been through hell
Tell my peeps all is well
All them fools whose soul's 4 sale
Sitting next to the Jezebel
Demons screaming in my ear
All my anger all my fear
If I holler let them hear
In this spinning sphere
Fuck the slice we want the pie
Why ask why till we fry
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs womeN wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them stand all in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Main ingredients 2 this dish
Goes like this
Here's the list
Materialistic, greed and lust, jealousy, envious
Bread and dough, cheddar cheese, flash and stash, cash and cream
Temperatures at a high degree
Wheres niggas come 2 feast
Hell's this all about
Apocalypse ain't no doubt
Everbody's ho'ing out all the loot all the clout
Right or wrong
Do or die
Only the vengeance will pacify
Watch your back
And so will I
In these days and time
Fuck the slice we want the pie
Why ask why till we fry
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs womeN wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them stand all in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Aint no justice
It's Just us
Ashes 2 ashes
Dust 2 dust
Time has come for most of us
2 choose in which God we trust
I know I was born 2 die
Searching 2 find
Piece of mind
With eighty five dumb and blind
There can be no compromise
03. Left & Right
I see you dancing right now
I don't need to tell you that you know how
Baby you do, oh
I say you belong
And if you dream, you'd be free
I can take you there
Just follow me
Baby I won't, I won't steer you wrong
And it seems like to me
You want someone to treat you like their queen
Babe I do
So what'cha want?
Smack your ass, pull your hair
And I even kiss you way down there
You know I will
Think I won't?
Specially when u do it

Left & right & up & down
I hear you calling my world
Make you feel like a pearl
I'll rub your back and fulfill your needs, yeah
So I would suggest you get undressed
Fingertips touching and you'll come back
As I want
Why don't you give it to me?
I will have you believe
There's no reason for you to leave
Stay right here (stay right here)
In my arms (in my arms)
Bring you fears stay secure
Here with me you can be sure
There's no faking you turn me on
Specially when u do it

04. The Line
I've gotta tell U, tell U about it
I've been gone for so long
I Just wanna sing my song

Hearin' a lot a things about me
Oh I know, I know
I've heard, I've heard it all 2 clear
This is what I am going 2 do
I am going 2 hold, hold on 2 my pride
I'm gonna stick, stick, I'm gonna stick 2 my guns
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it and we gon' see what the deal
I'm for real, I just wanne put it, put it on the line
I've gotta put it on the line
Know what I'm talking about this evening
I've gotta put it on the line
I gotta bullet in the chamber
And I'm not afraid of the danger
We've gotta go down 2 the wire
I'll go through the fire with U, kill & die with U
I know everybody watchin' me, the pressure is on
From every angle political 2 personal
Will I hang or be left hangin', will I fall off
Or will it be bangin'
I say it's up 2 the man upstairs
I am going 2 hold, hold on 2 my pride
I'm gonna stick, stick, I'm gonna stick 2 my guns
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it and we gon' see what the deal
I'm for real, I just wanne put it, put it on the line
I've gotta put it on the line
Know what I'm talking about this evening
I've gotta put it on the line
05. Send It On
Send it up
Send it through
Send it right back 2 U
Send it up
Send it through
Send it right back 2 U
Your inner view to me is
Something that I do desire
Struggling 2 see a new something that I fantasize
So I'm sending
U can't disguise your emotions
U know that I see in your eyes
U soul's ME, your soul's somethin' that I feel inside
Run, run, run, run if I run Lord only knows how far
That I and I will fall behind
Gotta find a better place, gotta find a better space
So that I, so my life may be the reason why
Hold on be strong, 4 your own
Move on b4 long, you'll get home
If your feeling insecure
U can be sure
Even if it take forever and a day for me 2 do
I gotta send it on TO U
Tell me what will I do
Send it right back 2 U
06. Chicken Grease
Let me tell U 'bout the chicken grease
Stuffs and things 2 make the people get out ya seat
Everybody it's cool if U wanna clap your hands and stomp your feet
Come on down 2 the front where you can feel the beat
From the left 2 right, the back the middle and the front
Don't be uptight, shake it off do what u want
Pump it in the club get a little bit a rub-a-dub
I know u love me 'cause I'm funky 'cause I just wanna show U some love
Chicken grease
Chicken grease
2 get 2 the other side
Y'all cross the road
But not the kid see I'm like that old bucket of crisco
That's sitting on top of the stove
Simmer to a sizzle like the days of old
But I'll wait 'til I've mastered this, let the others go first
So the brothers wont miss
Fried til it's burned and crisp
Say we be cooking so the funksters can raise their fist like this
Now u know how its goin down, start at your neck,
Then through your back then it works its way down 2 your feet
So unique, come on everybody let's dance 2 the beat
I just wanna put u down (yeah)
I just want u all to get down (yeah)
Everybody come on and get down 2 the chicken grease
If you wanna come on down 2 the front
Baby yo it's cool everybody fakin the funk
I'ma put u in school, take a lesson from adolescence 2 man
I got the music and the instruments use em as my weapons at hand
Everybody on the floor if u listening 2 me
Clap your hands stomp your feet
I just wanna put u down (yeah)
I just want ya all 2 get down (yeah)
Everybody come get down 2 the chicken grease (yeah)
Chicken grease
Chicken grease
07. One Mo'Gin
I know some things have changed since the last I've seen U
Some's good, some for the bad
All and all I can't complain that's what I've been through, baby
But seeing you reminds me of the precious times we had
I wondered all this time 'bout how U been
And I hoped by chance, I'd see U once again
I'd love 2 kiss your lips, baby, once again
Long 2 hold U tight, girl, one mo'gin
I know U got someone, I got somebody 2
But I'm unhappy and I miss the shit we used 2 do
I miss your smile, your mouth, your laughter, baby
I never bumped into your kind before or after
And I wondered all this time 'bout how U been
And I hoped by chance I'd see U once again
I'd love 2 kiss your lips, baby, once again
Long 2 hold U tight, girl, one mo'gin
I know U gotta be getting back 2 your own thing
Baby, U got yours - I got mine
I hope U know that you could call me girl when things change
If U want 2 we could catch up on some lost time
And I wondered all this time 'bout how U been
And I hoped by chance I'd see U once again
I'd love 2 kiss your lips, baby, once again
Long 2 hold U tight, girl, one mo'gin
08. The Root
She done worked a root
Done worked a root that will not be reversed
Then I'll go on, go on my role 'n her play with no rehearsal
Left my mojo in my favorite suit
She left a stain, left a dirty stain in my heart I can't refute
No I can't
No I can't
She done worked a root
In the name of love and war
Took my shield and sword
From the pit of the bottom that knows no floor
Like the rain 2 the dirt
From the vine 2 the wine
From the alpha of creation
Till the end of all time
Till the end of all time
Said I went 2 the doctor
The man told me there ain't nothing wrong
Said, but I beg 2 differ
I've been feelin' this pain much 2 long
Feel my soul is empty
My blood is cold and I can't feel my legs
I need someone 2 hold me
Bring me back 2 life B4 I'm dead
She done worked a root
In the name of love and war
Took my shield and sword
From the pit of the bottom that knows no floor
Like the rain 2 the dirt
From the vine 2 the wine
From the alpha of creation
Till the end of all time
Till the end of all time
Like the rain 2 the dirt
From the vine 2 the wine
From the alpha of creation
2 the end of all time
09. Spanish Joint
Whenever it rains I feel this way
A little something 2 get me through this
Give me a little that, no time flat
Gonna be a good thing
Serene but in need of feelin free
Letting go and landing on my feet
Brushed the dirt off my back no time flat
Gonna be a good thing
Well people believe this saying is true
Whatever will be will forever do
Whatever the cost I'll pay in full
I ain't got nothing to do with you
Gotta get out gotta get out of here
I'm in the dark, and the light looks sincere
Brushed the dirt off my back no time flat
Gonna be a good thing
All U do is complain about your pain
And the cloud that follows U won't cease to rain
Don't look back handle that
Make it into a good thing
Something up in me gotta be
Sole controller in control of me
A link in your chain, just won't do
I don't want nothin' 2 do with U
10. Feel Like Makin' Love
Strollin' in the park, watchin' winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark, watchin' lovers do their thing
That's the time I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time I feel like makin' dreams come true
When you talk to me, when you're moanin' sweet & low
When you touch me, and my feelings start to show, show
That's the time I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time I feel like makin' dreams come true
In a restaurant, holdin' hands by candlelight
Wanna touch you, wantin' you with all my might
That's the time I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time I feel like makin' dreams come true
11. Greatdayndamornin'/Booty
Today I played it safe, cards are in my favor
Can't you leave too much to chance
Woke up with time to waver
Yesterday was crazy
Mysteries I know now, now I know
The ins and outs of things from day to day
That's how it goes, don't get confused about it
Just try to do your thing
Cause in the end, gotta know just how to play the game
I search for answers often, I payed the price for many
Still long for happiness , not promised to the plenty
I've gotta go on
Good days, bad days, halfway days
Good times, bad times, halfway times
Good days, bad days, halfway days
But I'm still looking for a greatdayindamornin'
Today might be the day, I get it in the pocket
Lord knows if there's an angle, gotta try to find it
Gotta get over before the sun comes up
Just in case of an emergency, gotta tighten up
Good days, bad days, halfway days
Good times, bad times, halfway times
Good days, bad days, halfway days
But I'm still looking for a greatdayindamornin'
12. Untitled (How Does It Feel)
Girl it's only U
Have it your way
And if U want U can decide
And if you'll have me
I can provide everything that U desire
Said if U get a feeling
Feeling that I am feeling
Won't U come closer 2 me baby,
You've already got me right where U want me baby
I just wanna be your man
How does it feel
How does it feel
Said I wanna know how does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
I wanna stop
Silly little games U and me play
And I am feeling right on
If U feel the same-way baby
Let me know right away
I'd love to make you wet
In between your thighs cause
I love when it comes inside U
I get so excited when I'm around U, l
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
Said did it ever cross your mind
How does it feel

How does it feel
Tell me how it feels Yeah
How does it feel
Said it's been on my mind
How does it feel

Baby close the door
Listen girl I have something I wanna Show U
I wish you'd open up cause
I wanna take the walls down with u
13. Africa
Africa is my descent
and here I'm far from home
I dwell within a land that's meant
meant for many men not my tone
The blood of god is my defense
let it drop down 2 my seed
showers 2 your innocense
2 protect U for all eternity
and with this wood I beat this drum
and we won't see defeat
From kings 2 queens becomes a prince
knowledge wisdom is
understanding what we need
Ever since the day U came
my whole world began 2 change
I knew then 2 dedicate my life,
4 your own
everyday I see U grow
and remember what U already know
I receive the love
that radiates from your glow
From which U came was love
and that's how it all should be
U and my soul are 1
through all the time and history
