BE SPEAK AND DO LYRICS Verse 1 Ooh what the hell is going on? Anything we wanna be, we can be But we choose destruction for we I see skin and bones over there, while obesity needs therapy Woowee what is this? History should teach, but we limit our possibilities Chorus We be, we be, we be, we be love We speak, we speak, we speak, we speak our hearts We do, we do, we do, we do our part We be, we be, we be, we be love We speak, we speak, we speak, we speak our hearts We do, we do, we do, we do our part Verse 2 Strapped up and ready to take a life For what? We so damn easy to corrupt He believe, he angry, then boom He take your friends and family from you And hate breeds hate, now that’s a fact Abuse can lead to revenge attacks The way we’re heading if we don’t destroy ourselves The planet will. Chorus We be, we be, we be, we be love We speak, we speak, we speak, we speak our hearts We do, we do, we do, we do our part We be, we be, we be, we be love We speak, we speak, we speak, we speak our hearts We do, we do, we do, we do our part Middle 8 It’s like heaven that’s what’s going on It’s where it all began and where we’re from Within our time and space Love can always rain Brothers and sisters no longer have to live in vain We bring peace The kind that settles deep, the kind where we believe in One life, one life, one life. Chorus We be, we be, we be, we be love We speak, we speak, we speak, we speak our hearts We do, we do, we do, we do our part We be, we be, we be, we be love We speak, we speak, we speak, we speak our hearts We do, we do, we do, we do our part Outro We choose what’s possible, now don’t be fooled The limits we perceive exist only to elude Us, from the truth, us In the divine energy we trust In time we’ll rediscover who we really are The man in the mirror seems a perfect place to start Just Be, and Speak and Do We choose We Be Then We Speak Then We Do If not you, then who?

PROCRASTINATION LYRICS Intro Chorus Your procrastination is testing my patience So what we gonna do my dear Will you continue in this fear Back, back, forth and forth Back, back, forth and forth Verse 1 You say this is real to you But all I hear is talk You’re putting off the future to tomorrow But that day will never come if you gon’ stay frozen So what we’re gonna do Chorus Your procrastination is testing my patience So what we gonna do my dear Will you continue in this fear Back, back, forth and forth Back, back, forth and forth Verse 2 I was happy to simply wait But I’m not sure If I believe you anymore You say you have your doubts Well that’s just great I had to swallow mine a long way ago So what we’re gonna do Chorus Your procrastination is testing my patience So what we gonna do my dear Will you continue in this fear Back, back, forth and forth Back, back, forth and forth Middle 8 Woo baby, how I love you so Don’t get me wrong Through our ups and downs we have travelled But it’s made us strong But you’re leaving love all alone. Verse 3 Now if I stop to simply look Within myself I am forced to admit There are times when I don’t exercise The kind of restraint that’s required with this So what’s a woman to do Chorus Your procrastination is testing my patience So what we gonna do my dear Will you continue in this fear Back, back, forth and forth Back, back, forth and forth

DADDY SAYS LYRICS Intro Chorus Mind yourself and mind your business Forgive those who wrong against us Work for what you want in this life Keep your head up through the strife yeah ‘Cause Daddy Says ‘Cause Daddy Says ‘Cause Daddy Says Verse 1 Setting an example of what it means to be Forgiving every time ‘cause we’re family And we need to stay we. Working all the hours Breaking back so we can break bread From your living. Don’t think that We’re not grateful for all These opportunities you Have opened up for us, opened up for me, opened up for love. You sacrificed you You always came through To make we succeed. Chorus Mind yourself and mind your business Forgive those who wrong against us Work for what you want in this life Keep your head up through the strife. Daddy Says, because Daddy Says, (Daddy Says) Daddy Says, because Daddy Says, (Daddy Says) Daddy Says. Verse 2 Do you remember when you had told me: “Loubna dyelli” (tr. my Loubna) Don’t you worry there is nothing you can do now Allah will take care of All of this so perfectly So dry those tears now. Your strength of faith inspires me Even if I don’t always agree ‘Cause you said a prayer for we, said a prayer for me, said a prayer for love. You dedicated you Even with what you’ve been through To the one who’s unseen. Chorus Mind yourself and mind your business Forgive those who wrong against us Work for what you want in this life Keep your head up through the strife. Daddy Says, because Daddy Says (Daddy Says) Daddy Says, because Daddy Says (Daddy Says) Daddy Says. Middle Section How can I repay you For what you’ve done for us? I don’t think there’s any way. So all I can do is live The best way I know how. Daddy you taught me about patience. You told me know him well before you marry. And that what I feel at the beginning isn’t necessarily love. That that feeling doesn’t guarantee happiness. You told me that real love comes from surviving the ups and the downs. Daddy you were right. You taught me about faith. Do you remember when I was little And you were trying to get me to ride my bike without the supports? You would hold on to the back of the bike And I would tell you: “do not let go!” Remember when you let go without telling me? I was riding along on two wheels all by myself. It wasn’t until I turned around and saw you weren’t there That I actually fell over. And so what I want to say is this Daddy how I love and respect you. You guided me to be the best that I can be. And there’s no Greater gift you could have offered me. Outro And then he wished me, then he wished me, then he wished me all the best. And then he wished me, then he wished me, then he wished me all the best. And then he wished me, then he wished me, then he wished me all the best. All the best Daddy Says Daddy Says Daddy Says Daddy Says
