John Legend - Little Ghetto Boy (feat. the Roots)
My grandmother suits was tailor made, Sundays Mahalia played
Simple familiar ways, like how she kneeled and prayed
Willin, master forgive us, our trust pastors had us real afraid
I never listened yet I still obeyed
I got to see how Philly played at such an early age
What my father was into sent him to his early grave
Then moms started chasin that base, like Willie Mays
John Legend - Hard Times (feat. the Roots)
Yeah-yeah, ooohhhhhhhhh
So many hard times
Yea-yeahhhhhh, ooohhhhhhhhhh
Yeahhhh-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeahhhh
YEAHHHHH, yeah-yeah
YEAHHHHHHHHHH
John Legend - Hang On In There (feat. the Roots)
Don't give up. Hang On In There
There ain't no time,
No time for sorrow.
And we ain't got time no time
Ah time to be sad.
And maybe the world ain't what it could be
John Legend - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free (feat. the Roots)
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
And I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear for the whole world to hear
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
John Legend - For The First Time
It's like I heard nothing for a thousand years
My eyes were closed, locking in my tears
I was so surrounded but still all alone
A great big house but so far from home
How'd you breathe life in this heart of soul
John Legend - So Gone
I'm a do, I'm a do, I'm a do my thing
I was born at the end of december
Not afraid that the cold of the winter
Would keep me inside, hey
Ever since mama left me at home
I had to search for a class of my own
John Legend - Caught Up
I’m home, been grindin’
Let’s go, tonight
Just make some money you know
I’ve got it, if you want it
If you love it
I’m on it, I’m on it
So come on it
John Legend - Asylum
Where you and I go
Our love's an asylum
Where we go, go, go, go crazy
In a state of madness
Wrapped up in your magic
Ecstatic, an addict
John Legend - Hey Girl (feat. Estelle)
Hey girl I Love you so and
It's so sad that we can't even talk no, we can't even no more
Hey Girl, I'm so sad today.
And my life just drifted away.
(Can this be real girl, Can this be so
Girl have we drifted so far that we can't even talk no more.)
John Legend - Aim High
Girl, I know you're hurt
Did you know that you can dry your pillows with your dreams and smile
It really works
Lay your head back in my arms, oh, I know your worth
So just reach inside your heart and pack your bags
And let's leave this earth
John Legend - We Loved It (Ft. Seal)
Wait quietly now, take us to the helplessness of it all
And I wonder as I watch you slip away somehow
Wonder if the only thing to save is now
Wonder if I ever will wait
Will I ever love again?
Will I ever love again?
John Legend - We Loved It (feat. Seal)
Wait quietly now, take us to the helplessness of it all
And I wonder as I watch you slip away somehow
Wonder if the only thing left is love
Wonder if I ever will wait
Will I ever love again?
Will I ever love again?
John Legend - Hold On Longer
But I won't run, I'm with you, that's enough
Kiss me now so you won't run
Out of breath underwater
Girl you can hold on longer
Girl you can hold on longer
Girl you can hold on longer
John Legend - Motherless Child
WHOOAOO
Sometime I feel
Like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
And sometimes I feel
John Legend - What If I Told You? (Interlude)
What if I told you
The dreams on the other side?
The dreams on the other side?
Go there with me tonight
John Legend - Do What I Gotta Do

John Legend - Must Be The Way

that U sing to me in bed
(yeah yeah)
it must be the moon
and the sun that sets so red
John Legend - Burning Down The House
Cool baby strange but not a stranger
Ever since we came this way
We're burning down the house
Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight we're in for nasty weather
Three hundred sixty five degrees
John Legend - Soul Joint
We about to do that
It all began rockin with the church band when I was 5 years old
Now I could see that the music was in me and that i had plenty of soul
So i stayed up every night workin on my flow
waitin for the chance to show
the ruckess that i bring when i get to do my thing
John Legend - Hurts So Bad
I let you go and I
Can't get no sleep
Ohh...
With thoughts going through my head
When I should've understand
Trying to be free
Ohh...
John Legend - Wanna Be Loved
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
They wanna be loved
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I be
I see lonely hearts and fallen leaves
Where did those hearts go
John Legend - Angel (Interlude) feat. Stacy Barthe
If I could, I'd give you the world
Wrap it all around you
Won't be satisfied with just a piece of this heart
My angel, oh angel
You're my angel, oh angel
[Stacy Barthe:]
John Legend - Tomorrow
You can make it, yes you can
Beyond your wildest dreams
Here we are in the prime of life
We're so ripe, yea the time's right
Here we go and we high off expectations
Let's not waste them
John Legend - Shine
I love to see their face, can we spare the lie?
Are we afraid to see them, prisoners of history
These beautiful minds, trapped inside, bring them back to life
Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on
Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on
Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh
