Don't Tell Me No lyrics - ashanti

[Chorus:]

Baby I don't need you but I want you so I got you

Got you by my side but things ain't going right

Happy when I see you but I need to keep it real with you

No relationships I'm just tryna live

[Verse 1:]

Don't wanna hurt nobody

Let me tell you how I feel (tell you how I feel)

I just wanna have somebody I can trust that knows the deal (trust that knows the deal)

Don't wanna make you mad telling you about last night and how much fun I had

Just because I'm not with you I don't need your attitude

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 2:]

The other day you asked why I came home late and who was I with (who was I with)

Don't get me wrong I know you care but I can't get down with all the questioning

Ooohh I like spending time with you but don't get the wrong idea

Don't make me your priority Cause this settling down thing just ain't me

[Chorus x2]

[Hook:]

Boy don't think I'm here try to use you try to confuse you

Just on you know I care a lot about you happy that I found you

Let's be clear what were all about you gotta figure out

You want this we gotta know that we ain't forming no relationships

[Chorus x2]

I Got It lyrics - ashanti (feat. Rick Ross)

Ohh, I got it, I got it

Been a ten since it all began

Don't ask me why 'cause I got it

I work hard, yeah I put work in

He shine it up but I drive it

Push to the limit, push it

Push to the limit

[Ashanti:]

I'm just saying how I feel about my life right now

My head so high and I can't come down

This is where I'm at and I'm on it, on it, on it

He feeling my persona trying to push up on it

Ohh

Well, I'm ready able and capable

So come get it

What are you waiting for?

Cause I lit it, hit it, now watch it blow

When I finish with it, you'll see the smoke

Ohh, what I can give is almost perfect babe

I ain't got no worries, look into my face

If you want it, I got it

That body on me, I got it

When you wake up, I got it

That ain't never leaving and I got it

Boy this body on lock and we can take it there

Put them bottles up if you got it

Keep spending that money like you got it

'Cause you may never get another night like this

So push it to the limit, if you about this life then live it

[Rick Ross:]

She knowing I'm the hottest, knowing I'm the biggest

Fuck being modest, I'm worth 50 million

Bricks on consignment, killed Carolina, bullet proof coupes

Silk shirts designer

She wanted cappuccino so I bought the Starbucks

2.4 that's off 2 notch roll

Nickels on the corner, Pickles in the salad

Pictures on the wall, Chickens in the attic

Choppa's in the phantom

Bezels on the watches

Hate in your heart, really you the target

They say I'm hard to kill, there's money on my head

(Let's make it work tonight)

Mastermind coming, still running from the fed, It's BOSS

[Ashanti:]

If you want it, I got it

That body on me, I got it

When you wake up, I got it

That ain't never leaving and I got it

Boy this body on lock and we can take it there

Anything that you think of, I got it right here

Take it to the edge, I got it

Throw it up if you got it

Put them bottles up if you got it

Keep spending that money like you got it

'Cause you may never get another night like this

So push it to the limit, if you about this life then live it

If your on it, like I'm on it

Then come on it, we gon' flaunt it

I'm gonna stand on top of the globe

I don't think you're ready yet, boy this thing is drippin' wet

Tell me what your tryng to do?

I can have you floating higher than what you got in that cup

I can tear that thing up, I can tear that thing up

Got you creepin up behind, as your feeling up on mine

Usually I wouldn't give you none but fuck it, I'm on one

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah

I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it

If you want it, I got it

That body on me, I got it

When you wake up, I got it

That ain't never leaving and I got it

Boy this body on lock and we can take it there

Anything that you think of, I got it right here

Take it to the edge, I got it

Throw it up if you got it

Put them bottles up if you got it

Keep spending that money like you got it

'Cause you may never get another night like this

So push it to the limit, if you about this life then live it

Perfect So Far lyrics - ashanti

I’m breathing you like my air now

Got me floatin’ like I’m outer space

And I can’t lose with you here now

There’s no one that can dare take your place

‘Cuz your worth every argument

Every battle proves its scar

So far from perfect

But you’ve been perfect so far

Still not speaking

And you’re still over there

On your side of the bed

Still disagreeing

And the tension that we share

It hurts beyond compare

But the crazy thing about love

Is how far it goes, how deep it runs

And I’m still here just because

I refuse to let this keep me from, baby

I’m breathing you like my air now

Got me floatin’ like I’m outer space

And I can’t lose with you here now

There’s no one that can dare take your place

‘Cuz your worth every argument

Every battle proves its scar

So far from perfect

But you’ve been perfect so far

Still my baby

And I know where I belong

Is right inside your arms

Ain’t no other place for me

Got me right where you want me

You ain’t perfect but you’re so perfect for me

But the crazy thing about love

Is how far it goes, how deep it runs

And I’m still here just because

I refuse to let this keep me from, baby

I’m breathing you like my air now

Got me floatin’ like I’m outer space

And I can’t lose with you here now

There’s no one that can dare take your place

‘Cuz your worth every argument

Every battle proves its scar

So far from perfect

But you’ve been perfect so far

We may fight a little bit, baby

Sometimes, we won’t speak for days

And that’s fine, ‘cuz I know you’ll be right back by my side

Still got that love that I crave

And that lets me know we’re okay

‘Cuz you’re my baby and I’m your lady

Turn the lights on

I’m breathing you like my air now

Got me floatin’ like I’m outer space

And I can’t lose with you here now

There’s no one that can dare take your place

‘Cuz your worth every argument

Every battle proves its scar

So far from perfect

But you’ve been perfect so far

So far from perfect

But you’ve been perfect so far

Never Too Far Away lyrics - Ashanti

Never too far away

I would take my heart right out of my chest

And place it in the palm of your hand

Just to show you how much I need you to keep breathing

How I walk a million miles barefoot

To hold your hand

And these bloody feet of mine will keep bleeding

[Chorus:]

And I will let nothing keep me away

And I will let nothing keep me from you babe

Oooh

Away [x5]

Never to walk away

Never too far away

I will crawl all the plates of hell

And cross the devil himself

Just to be by your side

For you I will

I would run across the bareness

And hunt the stars to hold you

And if the world were to end today

I would still find a way

[Chorus:]

And I will let nothing keep me away

And I will let nothing keep me from you babe

Oooh

Away [x5]

Never to walk away

Never too far away

I would take three planes and a spaceship just to meet you babe

And I would sail across the land

Just so I could see your face

[Chorus:]

And I will let nothing keep me away

And I will let nothing keep me from you babe

Oooh

Away [x5]

Never to walk away

Never too far away

Never too far away, away, away

Never too, never too, never too far away [x3]

And I will let nothing keep me away

And I will let nothing keep me from you babe

Oooh

Away [x5]

Never to walk away

Never too far away

And never too far from you baby

And I love you, I love you,

I want, I want you here with me

Said I would go anywhere

I would go anyplace

And never too far away

And never too far [x3]

Away from you

And never too far

Bonafide Survivor lyrics - Ashanti

You can try to kick me when I'm down

It won't break me

Hey you can love me when I'm all tight

It won't gonna make me

You can say what you want to

Cause I'm still here

I won't give you satisfaction to see my tears

I dealt a lot of chicks like the way I deal

Came a lot of chicks to deal with the shit I deal

So I'm a face another day with the smile on my face

And say: hey I will be okay

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Cause I will be stronger and wiser

I'm a fighter

Say I'm a bonafide survivor

I'm a bonafide survivor

Cause I will be stronger and wiser

I'm a fighter

So I'm a bonafide survivor

I'm a bonafide survivor

You can try to take away my grime

But I will stay dripping

Hey you can criticize my lifestyle

But I'm still living

See when your heart is in doubt

And your questions don't fade

Did you ever think

That it was gonna be this way?

That everything that could possibly go wrong didn't

And how come I ain't another life than I put in

Got to find your illustrate just to face another day

And say hey, I will be okay, okay

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Cause I will be stronger and wiser

I'm a fighter

Say I'm a bonafide survivor

I'm a bonafide survivor

Cause I will be stronger and wiser

I'm a fighter

Say I'm a bonafide survivor

I'm a bonafide survivor

Sometimes it gets so out of hands

And you feel like giving up

Don't give up

Cause one problem don't open another

And if it ain't gonna happen

You can push a little further

We all get through pain

And pain ain't to blame

It's only a short sign of weakness

Leave it!

Understand, what won't kill you makes you stronger

And you're still breathing

Cause I will be stronger and wiser

I'm a fighter

Say I'm a bonafide survivor

I'm a bonafide survivor

Cause I will be stronger and wiser

I'm a fighter

Say I'm a bonafide survivor

I'm a bonafide survivor

Cause I will be stronger and wiser

I'm a fighter

Say I'm a bonafide survivor

I'm a bonafide survivor

Cause I will be stronger and wiser

I'm a fighter

Say I'm a bonafide survivor

I'm a bonafide survivor

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

RIP lyrics - Ashanti

Your hands should be covered in blood

By the way you ripped up my heart

It feels like I swallowed a blade

Every time I say, every time I say

Not an email, not a text, no phone

Nothing left, just me sitting in this bed alone

That's how we started unraveling

Boy, you stripped me to the bones

Something so small as

Picking up the phone may seem so small to you

[?]

Don't hear two words from you

Everything that's going through my head

Where he at, where he been, who he with

Why he ain't hit me yet

And then I start to mimic this, what's next?

Is he having sex? Is he using latex?

And is he gonna bring something home to me?

Why he giving these bitches the privilege of something to say?

I put on my black dress, I put on my black heels

I got two dozen roses in my arms

I got on my black shades to hide all of my tears

I gotta say goodbye to this love gone wrong

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best, I think it's best

Not even karma is enough to get you back for what you did

It's like your love is poisoned and you've infected me

It's running up through my veins,affecting my every day

I wish I had the power to erase your face from my brain

Something so small as

Picking up the phone may seem so small to you

[?]

Don't hear two words from you

Everything that's going through my head

Where he at, where he been, who he with

Why he ain't hit me yet

And then I start mimic this, what's next?

Is he having sex? Is he using latex?

And is he gonna bring something home to me

Why he giving these bitches the privilege of something to say?

I put on my black dress, I put on my black heels

I got two dozen roses in my arms

I got on my black shades to hide all of my tears

I gotta say goodbye to this love gone wrong

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best that we lay this thing to rest

I think it's best, I think it's best

You promised me forever

You said we'd be together

You would never turn your back on us

Now I wanna thank you

For forcing me to get through this

Didn't recognize my very own strength

Now I'mma stick out my chest and I'mma throw my head back

And I'mma put a smile on my face

I put on my black dress, I put on my black heels

I got two dozen roses in my arms

I got on my black shades to hide all of my tears

I gotta say goodbye to this love gone wrong

It's time to lower this in the ground

I'm gonna cover it up and put my head down

I'm gonna say my very last goodbye

I'm gonna wipe these tears for the very last time

That's What We Do lyrics - Ashanti (feat. R. Kelly)

Written entertainment, Ashanti

Girls, gotta get this one off my chest

Listen baby

[Ashanti:]

Now I’ma look through your phone

And I’ma call back that number

I’ma curse out that hoe, and let her know to stay away from you

Cause that’s what we do, that’s what we do

That’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

I may accuse you a little, and go through your jeans

When I don’t find anything, all that it means is that

I love you, don’t want her touching you

Don’t wanna fucking you, yeah, cause that’s what we do

I may get a little jealous, take you away from the fellas

Cause I want your time, and I’m all over you that night

Cause that’s what we do, that’s what we do

That’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do

I may blame you for something, and don’t want to apologize

Ima climb in that bed, and show you I’m sorry

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

That’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do,

Through the storm, through the rain

Through the heart ache, and pain

We fight, we fought, won side by side, we survived

When your chance has come back, and the royal stuff, going round

We fuss, we fought, we fault all night

Won side by side, we survived

[R Kelly:]

You ran out of the house, and I chase after you

Cursing each-other out, now what we out each-other through

Cause that’s what we do, that’s what we do

That’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do

You called your mother’s crib, said you were going over there

Then I took the keys and hid them, so you couldn’t go nowhere

Cause that’s what we do, that’s what we do

That’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do

Sometimes you can make me mad, and I can make you cry

But when things get bad, we stand right by eachother’s side

Cause that’s what we do, that’s what we do

That’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do

I walk out the door, and you scream whatever

We make love that night, and we’re right back together

But that’s what we do, that’s what we do

That’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do, that’s what we do

that’s what we do

Through the storm, through the rain

You’re the heart ache, and pain

We fuss, we fight, we fault all night, won side by side, we survived

When your chance has come back, and the royal stuff, going round

We fuss, we fight, we fault all night, won side by side, we survived

There ain’t nothing that can stop our love

We can … sent from heaven above

Then should raise the flag, high above

Take the hands, miss Luna

Cause when we’re together, there ain’t nothing better

My life is complete, I’ma love you forever

We should rent some space, get some tools, build a statue of me and you

Through the storm, through the rain

You’re the heart ache, and pain

We fuss, we fight, we fault all night, won side by side, we survived

When your chance has come back, and the royal stuff, going round

We fuss, we fight, we fault all night, won side by side, we survived

The Woman You Love lyrics - Ashanti (feat. Busta Rhymes)

[Intro:]

Written entertainment

Ashanti,

We missed you baby

Busta, bus,

Turn my music

High [x3]

[Ashanti:]

But what about my pride

You're never satisfied

You made me feel like I wasn't worth being by your side

I done sacrificed, all of my damn time

Giving you all mine

You see me dying inside

[Chorus:]

Trying to see

Trying to find

Trying to be

The woman you love

Tried everything

But it just don't seem like it's enough

Hey baby, tried to believe

But I'm tired of being tired

Trying to love

Trying to fight

And I'm running out of tries

You're just no good

[Ashanti:]

With everything that I gave

And all the love that we made

It never shoulda took place

I gave you my heart,

You betrayed and I know

I should have let you go

Cause I'm back where I was before, baby

[Chorus:]

Trying to see

Trying to find

Trying to be

The woman you love

Tried everything

But it just don't seem like it's enough

Hey baby, tried to believe

But I'm tired of being tired

Trying to love

Trying to fight

And I'm running out of tries

You're just no good

[Rap Verse: Busta Rhymes]

Look,

I know you rap with the moves I'll be making, yes

Though we go through trials and tribulations, yes

It don't matter how difficult it'll get

I love you regardless the situation, oh

I see you drew a line all in the sand, oooh

You ain't gotta lead me, hold my hand, come on

Every time I get up and I think about the way we feeling all

I say is damn

I know at times I really hurt your head

And I've stressed you out

And really get you fed up

I ain't never never gonna let up

Unless it makes you happy for me to shut up

But I ain't shutting up, because I really wanna give it to you, who

I can't replace the feeling when we get it with each other

And I ain't trying to lose you

Now what you expect me to do, let's take a trip and go to Honolulu, come on

Come on, maybe we can spend some time together

Try to make it better girl, I choose you

But if you ain't with it and we are really done

I respect it, and baby I'm a go

But once I walk out the door, I ain't never coming back baby

Hell no

[Chorus:]

Trying to see

Trying to find

Trying to be

The woman you love

Tried everything

But it just don't seem like it's enough

Hey baby, tried to believe

But I'm tired of being tired

Trying to love

Trying to fight

And I'm running out of tries

You're just no good
