Makavelli Never Lied - Teena Marie

Thug life

Makavelli

Thug life

Twenty-two dubs up in the sky

Spread your angelwings and fly

A comet soars across the sky

Sent to give the whole earth light

Brother, I ain’t mad cause you made my body shake

Came and went so fast, you might need a resolution

Reasons for my life and the places that I’ve seen

Rollin' with my crew keeps me rockin' till tomorrow

Makavelli never lied

Throw your hands up say «He's for real»

And Aaliyah never lied

Lemme hear you holla now «She's for real»

Mom and commy never lied

Give it up for heartbeat, props for real

And Stevie Wonder never lied

Talk about the prophet now he’s for real

Told you he was ride or die

Made you laugh and made you cry

I’m gonna count from one to ten

And dust it off and try again

Sister, I ain’t mad cause you made my body shake

Came and went so fast and I need a resolution

Reasons for my life, feeling all my deepest grace

Rollin' with my crew keeps me rockin' keep me rockin'

Makavelli never lied

Throw it up, your hands, say «He's for real»

And Joni Mitchell never lied

Lemme me hear ya holla now «She's for real»

And India Arie never lied

Give it up ya heartbeat, props for real

And Bob Marley never lied

Talk about the prophet now he’s for real

Pretty beauty please don’t go

Stay and satisfy my soul

Make me high when I feel low

What’s this need for neo-soul

Blessed are the righteous ones

Pure and heartened peaceful ones

Know that when your life is done

Heaven, it lasts always

Brother I ain’t mad cause you made my body shake

Came and went so fast and I need a resolution

Reasons for my life and the fine lines on my face

Rollin' with my crew keeps me rockin' till tomorrow

Makavelli never lied

Throw it up, your hands, say «he's for real»

And Marvin Gaye would never lie

Lemme hear ya holla now «he's for real»

And Lauryn Hill would never lie

Give it up, the heartbeat, props for real

And you and I would never lie

Talk about the things we truly feel

Makavelli never lied

Throw it up, your hands, say he’s for real

And John Lennon never lied

Lemme hear ya holla now he’s for real

Chaka-kan would never lie

Give it up the heartbeat, props for real

And Jesus Christ would never lie

Talk about the prophet, now he’s for real

Buffalo soldier here I come

Left us his redemption song

And joy is found from within

How sweet my soul aquariums

Beautiful ones gone too soon

Would you go back to the moon (Never)

To the stars where angels host

And to the one who loves ya most?

Infinitely, talking bout eternity

They never lie

Forever, forever

Never lie

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
