BLACK & BLUE
Words Willy Caïd
Music Willy Caïd/EMile Melenchon
YOU KNOW I'M BAD LIKE JESSE JAMES
IT MAKES ME WANNA DRAW MY WORDS
AND MY SIX STRINGS
LIKE SOMETHIN' COOKIN' ON THE INSIDE
I NEED SOME FLAT JAZZ CHORDS
AND A BLACK GUY ON THE BASS LINE
IS THIS ANGER OR IS THIS PAIN
DO I REALLY NEED A REASON
TO PUT IT ON DOWN THE PAGE
MOSDEF TOLD ME THAT
I'M BLACK ON BOTHSIDE
BUT WHEN I HEAR MILES
HELPS ME REACH MY KINDA BLUE
INSIDE
BUT MY MAMMA SAYS 'LET IT GO'
OUTSIDE
WHEN YOU'RE A FOOL
EVERYDAY YOU PAY THE PRICE
FOR THE DREAMS YOU HAVE
AND WHAT YOU DO TO MAKE THEM REALIZE
I USED TO SHARE MINE WITH YOU
THAT THE REASON I'M BLACK AND BLUE
HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED A WOMAN
THAT IT MAKES YOU WANNA CRY
HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED SOMEONE THAT
IT MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE
I'M IN NEED OF SOMEONE TO SHARE MY LOVIN'
CAUSE MAMMA TOLD ME AND MY DADDY TOLD ME
YOU GET THE BEST SEX YOU EVER HAVE!
IF I COMIN' ON THE STAGE
FOR THE ROUND TWO
IT'S 'CAUSE I GOT SOME BETTER REASONS
NOT TO RUN TO
A BLIND MAN PLAYS THE PIANO
AND TELLS ME WHAT I SAY
I'M HERE DANCIN' ON THE BOARDER
LIKE I'M CASSIUS CLAY
WHAT YOU GOT IN MIND
THINGS WHICH MAKES YOU FLY
RECIPROCITY AND SUBCONCIOUS CREATIVITY
MY WORDS ARE SWORDS
AND WHEN YOU CHECK THIS FLOW
I HEAR THE PEOPLE LAUGHIN'
'CAUSE YOU RUN AFTER MY ECHO

FASTLOVE ( On Empty Streets)
Words & Music Willy Caïd
Horn Arrangement by Emile Melenchon
Fastlove you give it when you want it
You choose the way you will be treated
It's not because you got no ring
Nor a bitch nor a whore
it doesn't mean you ain't got feelings
Black Venus little Queen
You live your life without a king
Instead of yours you feed their needs
But first show her the money before you lovin'
Girl you don't have to act this way
You're afraid of yesterdays
What you need is one more chance
You better leave those empty streets now
Lena was her name
Apologize for what you did wrong
What do you have to play this silly game?
I'll turn back the hands of time
and do my best to change it
'Cause i can't stand
watch you playin' your Fastlove

FREE YOURSELF
Words & Music Willy Caïd
You gotta find yourself
It will make you feel so fine
It will make you cry
for all of those things you've lost
But somebody else will breathe
You gotta free your soul
It will help you clear your mind
It will help you dry those tears
you use to have inside
But somebody else will live
All that i've learned from love
It can hurt sometimes
Even can make you smile
So put your trust in me
All that i've learned from life
You gotta give if you wanna receive
Don't make it all alone
You better free yourself
(All you need is what you got)
You gotta find some love
(All your friends are all around)
When you feel the trouble in your mind
you just got to sing with me
Have you found yourself
How do you feel now?
Have you cried
for all of those things you've lost
Are you still breathin'
Have you free your soul
Have you cleared your mind???
Have you dry
those tears you use to have inside
Are you still livin'
All that i've learned from love
It can hurt sometimes
Even can make you smile
So put your trust in me
All that i've learned from life
You gotta give if you wanna receive
Don't make it all alone
You better free yourself
(All you need is what you got)
You gotta find some love
(All your friends are all around)
When you feel the trouble in your mind
you just got to sing with me

LADY MUSIC
Words Willy Caïd
Music Willy Caïd/Emile Melenchon
I got to pay the bill
'cause everytime that i chill (out)
you're always around me
'cause we live in pure intimacy
Remember this day
when we first met in my mother's belly
('Sure it's was your parents' wedding)
Some Sakalava songs playin' along
Good rythm goin' on
Spreading your groove
through my amniotic home
But CONTRACTION
It feels like my birth is about to come
Hey Lady Music
i'm about to meet you in person
I just wanna sing
So you can hear my voice
Just wanna sing
So you can feel the love
i give you just for real
Here is my soul
Don't you hear those rythms
Comin' right from the park
That's my friend and I
celebratin' your name
playin the guitar
I just got to pay my due
'Cause i found my color bLUE thanks to you
First chords, we shared good melodies
First words, together in harmony
You've help us see the truth
Hey lady music, keep tellin' me...
I just wanna sing
So you can hear my voice
Just wanna sing
So you can feel the love
i give you just for real
Here is my soul
Do you see me?
I'm on the stage now
Have a look around
Listen to that sound
What you hearin'?
The bass goes like this
And my guitar like this
And my body like this
I just wanna sing
So you can hear my voice
Just wanna sing
So you can feel the love
i give you just for real
Here is my soul
Sweet lady music

FEELIN' BLUE
Words Willy Caïd
Music Willy Caïd/Emile Melenchon
You are the sweetest girl I ever wanted to share my life with
And now I'm the greatest jerk for havin' let you go
I already know that each love story has an end
But tell me me why did it have to come this way???
I already know that each love story has an end
But tell me me why ??? I need to understand
And tell me when you started to brush your hair differently
when you began to change your mind about our family
But I can't help thinkin' about the plans we've made
And now my anger grows 'cause I've fucked up and let you go
When it's you I feelin' bLUE
When it's me I feelin' free
When it's you I feelin' bLUE
Tell me what you gonna do about it?
I've spent an entire year learnin' the meaning of the bLUES
And now my life has completely changed
To love and to be loved that's what I want from you
I already know that each love story has an end
But tell me me why did it have to come this way???
I already know that each love story has an end
But tell me me why ??? I need to understand
So tell me when you let somebody else take your hands
when you told him secrets we shared in our bed
But I can't help thinkin' about the plans we've made
And now my anger grows 'cause I've fucked up and let you go
When it's you I feelin' bLUE
When it's me I feelin' free
When it's you I feelin' bLUE
Tell me what you gonna do about it?
Alone alone alone I feelin' bLUE (ad lib)

SEVEN
Words Willy Caïd
Music Willy Caïd/Emile Melenchon/Arnaud Pacini
You waste your time keep runnin'
just chasin' what or why
you're so in a hurry
just take a break and fly
So high you can even touch the sky
Stars are shinin' on your way
Is life a game that you play
I don't believe it
It's not worth startin' to complain
Just take a look around
When a father gets home
With his children nearly starvin'
Damn what you say
Stars still shinin' on your way
One, Two, Three or Seven Ways to rise
One, Two, Three or Seven Ways to shine
Less than a blink of an eye to feel alright
One, Two, Three or Seven Ways to be
Your world is all that you care
You doin' wrong
'cause heart is a place
that needs time to be shared
What you only got is to realize
What lays behind a smile
Do stars still shinin'
Have you ever woken up one time
Jump for a little walk with me
Outside in the mornin' dew
where time has stopped
And the dreams come true
Seven rays
like each color of the rainbow
Seven eight
that's how i spread the tempo
One, Two, Three or Seven Ways to rise
One, Two, Three or Seven Ways to shine
Less than a blink of an eye to feel alright
One, Two, Three or Seven Ways to be

READY OR BLUE NOT(e)
Words & Music The Fugees
Arranged by Willy Caïd/Emile Melenchon
[CHORUS:]
Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly
Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Make you want me.
You can't run away
From these styles I got, oh baby, hey baby
Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
And anywhere you go
My whole crew's gonna know
You can't hide from the block, oh no.
I play my enemies like a game of chess, where I rest,
No stress
If you don't smoke sess, lest.
I must confess, my destiny's manifest
In some Goretex and sweats I make treks like I'm homeless
Rap orgies with Porgy and Bess,
Capture your bounty like Elliot Ness, YES
Bless you if you represent the Fu
But I'll hex you with some witch's brew if you're Doo Doo
Voo Doo,
I can do what you do, easy, BELIEVE ME
Frontin' niggas give me hee-bee-gee-bees
So while you're imitating Al Capone
I'll be Nina Simone
And defacating on your microphone.
[CHORUS:]
Ready or not, refugees takin' over
The Buffalo soldier, dread-lock rasta
On the twelfth hour, fly by in my bomber
Crews run for cover, now they're under pushin' up flowers
Superfly true lies, do or die,
Toss me high - only puff la,
With my crew from lock high
I refugee from Sakalava Bay
Dance around the border like I'm Cassius Clay
[CHORUS:]

EAST COAST BLUE
Words Willy Caïd
Music Willy Caïd/Emile Melenchon
If i ever have to choose
Be in love or be abused
i'd rather be abused by you girl
(Don't say her name)
I will do my best to make you change your way
All i really need is someone
That i can't compare with no-one
'Cause i really am in love with you
Look at you girl and what i see
that kinda desire that you got for me
If i ever have to loose
Loose your trust and get the blues
I'd rather sell my soul to the devil
(Don't act this way)
I will do my best to make you change your way
All i really need is someone
That i can't compare with no-one
'Cause i really am in love with you
Look at you girl and what i see
that kinda desire that you got for me
