0:09:53 > 0:09:56# You be illin', illin'... #

0:10:01 > 0:10:03# When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall

0:10:03 > 0:10:06# And in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call

0:10:06 > 0:10:09# Telling me I need a girl who's as sweet as a dove

0:10:09 > 0:10:11# For the first time in my life, I see I need love

0:10:11 > 0:10:14# There I was giggling about the games

0:10:14 > 0:10:17# That I had played with many hearts, and I'm not saying no names

0:10:17 > 0:10:20# Then the thought occurred, tear drops made my eyes burn

0:10:20 > 0:10:22# As I said to myself, "Look what you've done to her"

0:10:22 > 0:10:25# I can feel it inside I can't explain how it feels

0:10:25 > 0:10:28# All I know is that I'll never dish another raw deal

0:10:28 > 0:10:30# Playing make believe pretending that I'm true

0:10:30 > 0:10:33# Holding in my laugh as I say that I love you

0:10:33 > 0:10:36# Saying amor, kissing you on the ear

0:10:36 > 0:10:39# Whispering I love you and I'll always be here

0:10:39 > 0:10:42# Although I often reminisce I can't believe that I found

0:10:42 > 0:10:44# A desire for true love floating around

0:10:44 > 0:10:47# Inside my soul because my soul is cold

0:10:47 > 0:10:50# One half of me deserves to be this way till I'm old

0:10:50 > 0:10:53# But the other half needs affection and joy

0:10:53 > 0:10:55# And the warmth that is created by a girl and a boy

0:10:55 > 0:10:57# I need love... #

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Everybody, put your hands in the air and wave them slow from side to side.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03We gon' get busy like this.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Say, "I need love" on the count of three.

0:11:05 > 0:11:06One, two, three.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08# I need love... #

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Yeah, keep it like that.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12That's the way I like it.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Slow and easy as we get busy.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20# Romance, sheer delight, how sweet

0:11:20 > 0:11:22# I gotta find me a girl to make my life complete

0:11:22 > 0:11:25# You can scratch my back, we'll get cosy and huddle

0:11:25 > 0:11:28# I'll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddle

0:11:28 > 0:11:30# I'll give you a rose, pull out your chair before we eat

0:11:30 > 0:11:33# Kiss you on the cheek and say, "Ooh girl you're so sweet"

0:11:33 > 0:11:35# It's deja vu whenever I'm with you

0:11:35 > 0:11:38# I could go on forever telling you what I do

0:11:38 > 0:11:41# But where you at? You're neither here nor there

0:11:41 > 0:11:44# I swear I can't find you anywhere

0:11:44 > 0:11:47# Damn sure you ain't in my closet or under my rug

0:11:47 > 0:11:49# This love search is really making me bug

0:11:49 > 0:11:52# And if you know who you are why don't you make yourself seen?

0:11:52 > 0:11:55# Take the chance with my love and you'll find out what I mean

0:11:55 > 0:11:57# Fantasies can run but they can't hide

0:11:57 > 0:12:00# And when I find you I'm gon' pour all my love inside

0:12:00 > 0:12:02# I need love... #

0:12:02 > 0:12:06Everybody, clap your hands real slow and we gon' get busy like that.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10On the count of three, say, "I need love".

0:12:10 > 0:12:11One, two, three.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12# I need love... #

0:12:22 > 0:12:25# See what I mean, I've changed I'm no longer

0:12:25 > 0:12:27# A playboy on the run I need something that's stronger

0:12:27 > 0:12:30# Friendship, trust, honour, respect, admiration

0:12:30 > 0:12:33# This whole experience has been such a revelation

0:12:33 > 0:12:35# It's taught me love and how to be a real man

0:12:35 > 0:12:38# To always be considerate and do all I can

0:12:38 > 0:12:41# Protect you you're my lady and you mean so much

0:12:41 > 0:12:44# My body tingles all over from the slightest touch

0:12:44 > 0:12:46# Of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time

0:12:46 > 0:12:49# Till we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine

0:12:49 > 0:12:52# If I find you, girl I swear I'll be a good man

0:12:52 > 0:12:54# I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands

0:12:54 > 0:12:57# I can't sit and wait for my princess to arrive

0:12:57 > 0:13:00# I gotta struggle and fight to keep my dream alive

0:13:00 > 0:13:02# I'll search the whole world for that special girl

0:13:02 > 0:13:05# When I finally find you watch our love unfurl

0:13:05 > 0:13:07# I need love... #

0:13:07 > 0:13:11Now, everybody, put your hand in the shape of an L and put it in the air,

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Say, "I need love" on the count of three. One, two, three.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18# I need love... #

0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Yo, fellas, y'all think we can work that?- Let's do it.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25Can I whisper something to y'all? Can I whisper something?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Check it out.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30# Girl, listen to me

0:13:30 > 0:13:35# When I be sittin in my room all alone, staring at the wall

0:13:35 > 0:13:38# Fantasies, they go through my mind

0:13:38 > 0:13:41# And I've come to realise that

0:13:41 > 0:13:43# I need true love

0:13:43 > 0:13:47# And if you wanna give it to me, girl, make yourself seen

0:13:47 > 0:13:48# I'll be waiting

0:13:48 > 0:13:50# I love you... #

0:13:52 > 0:13:55One more time, even though the music is getting slow and low.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59Say, "I need love" as loud as you can. On the count of three. One, two, three.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02# I need love. #

0:14:15 > 0:14:17# This is a journey into sound

0:14:19 > 0:14:23# A journey which, along the way, will bring to you new colour

0:14:23 > 0:14:25# New dimension, new value

0:14:31 > 0:14:34# When all is ready, I throw this switch

0:14:34 > 0:14:35# Pump up the volume

0:14:35 > 0:14:37# Pump up the volume

0:14:38 > 0:14:39# Pump that bass

0:14:54 > 0:14:56# You make me feel so good

0:14:59 > 0:15:02# We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special news bulletin

0:15:02 > 0:15:04# From our on-the-spot escort

0:15:04 > 0:15:06# Oh, my gosh!

0:15:06 > 0:15:09# The music just turns me on

0:15:11 > 0:15:13# Thinkin' of a master plan

0:15:15 > 0:15:18# Thinkin' of a master plan

0:15:20 > 0:15:23# Thinkin' of a master plan

0:15:23 > 0:15:25# 'Cos ain't nothing but sweat inside my hand

0:15:25 > 0:15:27# So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent

0:15:27 > 0:15:30# So I dig deeper but still comin' up with lint

0:15:30 > 0:15:32# So I start my mission, leave my residence

0:15:32 > 0:15:35# Thinkin' how could I get some dead presidents

0:15:35 > 0:15:37# I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid

0:15:37 > 0:15:40# So I think of all the devious things I did

0:15:40 > 0:15:43# One, two, three, four!

0:15:44 > 0:15:47# I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nothing' funny

0:15:47 > 0:15:49# Stop smiling, still don't nothing move but the money

0:15:49 > 0:15:52# But now I learned to earn cos I'm righteous

0:15:52 > 0:15:55# I feel great, so maybe I might just

0:15:55 > 0:15:57# Search for a nine to five, if I strive

0:15:57 > 0:15:59# Then maybe I'll stay alive

0:15:59 > 0:16:02# So I walk up the street whistlin' this

0:16:02 > 0:16:04# Feelin' out of place, cos, man, do I miss

0:16:04 > 0:16:07# A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of

0:16:07 > 0:16:09# Me and Eric B, and a nice big plate of

0:16:09 > 0:16:12# Fish, which is my favourite dish

0:16:12 > 0:16:14# But without no money it's still a wish

0:16:14 > 0:16:16# Cos I don't like to dream about gettin' paid

0:16:16 > 0:16:19# So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made

0:16:19 > 0:16:22# So now to test to see if I got pull

0:16:22 > 0:16:25# Hit the studio, cos I'm paid in full

0:16:31 > 0:16:34# One, two, three!

0:16:34 > 0:16:36# By George!

0:16:39 > 0:16:40# Pump up the volume

0:16:40 > 0:16:41# Pump up the volume

0:16:41 > 0:16:44# Wait a minute, you better talk to my mother

0:17:06 > 0:17:08# Yo, what happened to peace?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10# Peace, peace, peace. #

0:17:18 > 0:17:20# Mirror, mirror, on the wall

0:17:20 > 0:17:22# Tell me, mirror, what is wrong?

0:17:22 > 0:17:23# Can it be my De La Clothes

0:17:23 > 0:17:26# Or is it just my De La Soul

0:17:26 > 0:17:28# What I do ain't make believe

0:17:28 > 0:17:30# People say I sit and try

0:17:30 > 0:17:32# But when it comes to being De La

0:17:32 > 0:17:34# It's just me, myself and I

0:17:38 > 0:17:40# It's just me, myself and I

0:17:42 > 0:17:44# It's just me, myself and I

0:17:46 > 0:17:48# It's just me, myself and I

0:17:51 > 0:17:53# Now you tease my Plug One style

0:17:53 > 0:17:54# And my Plug One spectacles

0:17:54 > 0:17:56# You say Plug One and Two are hippies

0:17:56 > 0:17:59# No we're not, that's pure Plug Bull

0:17:59 > 0:18:02# Always pushin that we formed an image

0:18:02 > 0:18:03# There's no need to lie

0:18:03 > 0:18:05# When it comes to being Plug One

0:18:05 > 0:18:08# It's just me, myself and I

0:18:11 > 0:18:15# It's just me, myself and I

0:18:16 > 0:18:19# It's just me, myself and I

0:18:20 > 0:18:23# It's just me, myself and I

0:18:38 > 0:18:39# Proud, I'm proud of what I am

0:18:39 > 0:18:41# Poems I speak are Plug Two type

0:18:41 > 0:18:43# Please, oh, please let Plug Two be

0:18:43 > 0:18:46# Himself, not what you read or write

0:18:46 > 0:18:48# Write is wrong when hype is written

0:18:48 > 0:18:50# On the Soul, De La that is

0:18:50 > 0:18:52# Style is surely our own thing

0:18:52 > 0:18:54# Not the false disguise of showbiz

0:18:54 > 0:18:56# De La Soul is from the soul

0:18:56 > 0:18:58# And in fact I can't deny

0:18:58 > 0:19:00# Strictly from the Dan called Stuckie

0:19:00 > 0:19:03# And from me, myself and I

0:19:06 > 0:19:10# It's just me, myself and I

0:19:11 > 0:19:13# It's just me, myself and I

0:19:15 > 0:19:17# It's just me, myself and I

0:19:19 > 0:19:21# Glory Glory Hallelu

0:19:21 > 0:19:23# Glory for Plug One and Two

0:19:23 > 0:19:25# But that glory's been denied

0:19:25 > 0:19:27# By kizids and dookie eyes

0:19:27 > 0:19:29# People think they diss my person

0:19:29 > 0:19:31# By stating I'm darkly packed

0:19:31 > 0:19:34# I know this so I point at Q-Tip

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- # And he states,- "Black is Black"

0:19:36 > 0:19:37# Mirror mirror on the wall

0:19:37 > 0:19:40# Shovel chestnuts in my path

0:19:40 > 0:19:42# Just keep all nuts twistin' up

0:19:42 > 0:19:44# So I don't get an aftermath

0:19:44 > 0:19:46# But if I do I'll calmly punch them

0:19:46 > 0:19:48# In the 4th day of July

0:19:48 > 0:19:50# Cos they tried to mess with third degree

0:19:50 > 0:19:53# That's me, myself and I

0:19:56 > 0:19:59# It's just me, myself and I

0:20:01 > 0:20:03# It's just me, myself and I

0:20:05 > 0:20:07# It's just me, myself and I... #

0:20:24 > 0:20:26# V-I-L-E and Ice T are on a jack move

0:20:26 > 0:20:29# Layin' down the dope groove, smokin' those who disapprove

0:20:29 > 0:20:32# Wreckin' the deck, you'll regret if you cross punk

0:20:32 > 0:20:33# Rollin' like a Mack truck, waxin' those who talk junk

0:20:33 > 0:20:35# Violent your end, I got your face in my crosshairs

0:20:35 > 0:20:37# Wanna see your dome bust sucker Cos I don't care

0:20:37 > 0:20:39# Nuttin' 'bout you, your crew, because you talk mess

0:20:39 > 0:20:41# I'm the Lethal Weapon, boy, ridin' the apocalypse

0:20:41 > 0:20:43# If you're in my way, then lay beneath the ground soon

0:20:43 > 0:20:45# Violence is my business fool, the microphone of doom

0:20:45 > 0:20:47# Mission that's to cure all punks as I bust caps

0:20:47 > 0:20:49# Peelin' your back, my ammunition hollow-point raps

0:20:49 > 0:20:51# You try to run, that makes it even more fun

0:20:51 > 0:20:53# I just cold lamp and vamp you with the shotgun

0:20:53 > 0:20:57# Cops try to flex but guns they'll never find

0:20:57 > 0:21:00# My Lethal Weapon's my mind

0:21:00 > 0:21:01# The lethal weapon

0:21:01 > 0:21:04# The lethal weapon

0:21:17 > 0:21:19# You think I'm finished, I load another clip

0:21:19 > 0:21:21# Look in my face, I crack an evil grin

0:21:21 > 0:21:23# Lyrics bring death from the microphone Mac-10

0:21:23 > 0:21:25# Sucker MCs, you ain't down with the Syndicate

0:21:25 > 0:21:27# Try to kick game, but end up talkin' weak mess, yo

0:21:27 > 0:21:29# You're weak, you're wack, you need to quit, you lil punk

0:21:29 > 0:21:32# Go and freak your mother, go dig a damn ditch

0:21:32 > 0:21:34# Get out my face, I'm tired of the press too

0:21:34 > 0:21:36# They write about me, I write about you

0:22:19 > 0:22:21# It's suckin' you down and now you can't get up

0:22:21 > 0:22:23# Why because you froze the moment we met up

0:22:23 > 0:22:25# And I never run, punk, I go head up

0:22:25 > 0:22:28# I ain't no fool and new jack poppin' fake rap

0:22:28 > 0:22:30# I rap from the heart and soul, where only facts are kept

0:22:30 > 0:22:32# Many rappers sell-out pop and other MCs slept

0:22:32 > 0:22:34# I ain't in no playin' mood, so nigga watch your step

0:22:34 > 0:22:36# Cos if you cross the boss, you go to bed quick

0:23:02 > 0:23:04# Just open any book, that's ammo to the brain

0:23:04 > 0:23:06# What really matters is how well is your weapon trained

0:23:06 > 0:23:08# Some would say genius, others would say insane

0:23:08 > 0:23:10# The Weapon power has been witnessed upon my page

0:23:10 > 0:23:12# From Martin Luther's "dream", to Hitler's psycho rage

0:23:12 > 0:23:14# What's more powerful, the brain or a twelve gauge?

0:23:14 > 0:23:16# The words I speak have scared many people to this day

0:23:16 > 0:23:18# But promote violence, I really have to disagree

0:23:18 > 0:23:20# It's entertainment, like "Terminator" on TV

0:23:20 > 0:23:23# But some'll never see, you're stupid, ignorant and blind

0:23:23 > 0:23:26# The Lethal Weapon's the mind!

0:23:45 > 0:23:46# You know what I'm saying?

0:23:46 > 0:23:49# But the wars of '94 be an intellectual war

0:23:49 > 0:23:50# You got to go to the library

0:23:50 > 0:23:51# You got to stay in school

0:23:51 > 0:23:53# You got to pack the ammo and bring the noise

0:23:53 > 0:23:55# You know what I'm saying?

0:23:55 > 0:23:58# Cos the lethal weapon is your mind

0:24:50 > 0:24:52# If you feel the urge to freak, do the jitterbug

0:24:52 > 0:24:55# Come and spread your arms if you really need a hug

0:24:55 > 0:24:57# Afrocentric living is a big shrug

0:24:57 > 0:25:00# A life filled with BEEP that's what I love

0:25:00 > 0:25:02# A lower plateau is what we're above

0:25:02 > 0:25:05# If you diss us, we won't even think of

0:25:05 > 0:25:07# Will Nipper the doggy give a big shove?

0:25:07 > 0:25:10# This rhythm really fits like a snug glove

0:25:10 > 0:25:12# Like a box of positives it's a plus, love

0:25:12 > 0:25:14# As the tribe flies high like a dove

0:51:17 > 0:51:20# Looks like I'm losing friends There's a lot of hostility in my endz

0:51:20 > 0:51:21# We used to argue Always make up and be friends

0:51:21 > 0:51:24# Now we settle disagreements with the skenz

0:51:24 > 0:51:26# Looks like I'm losing mates There's a lot hostility near my gates

0:51:26 > 0:51:28# We used to fight with kids from other estates

0:51:28 > 0:51:30# Now eight millimetres settle debates

0:51:30 > 0:51:32# Looks like I'm losing sight cos

0:51:32 > 0:51:34# I'm looking at the future it ain't bright

0:51:34 > 0:51:35# So I look out my window and pray every night

0:51:35 > 0:51:38# I thank God for my friends but they ain't tight

0:51:38 > 0:51:40# Looks like I'm losing hope cos I climb this mountain without rope

0:51:40 > 0:51:42# But I know I'm the captain of my boat

0:51:42 > 0:51:44# So I steadily sail and hope not to throw up

0:51:44 > 0:51:48# But it's a brand new day, new opportunities, what can I say?

0:51:48 > 0:51:52# I plan to make my pay but put some away for an off-key day

0:52:08 > 0:52:12# Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect

0:52:12 > 0:52:16# When we ain't kids no more, will it still be about what it is right now?

0:52:16 > 0:52:19# Like fighting for anything anytime and acting without a care anywhere

0:52:19 > 0:52:21# And when we ain't kids no more, will it still be about

0:52:21 > 0:52:22# What it is right now?

0:52:22 > 0:52:26# Like bank scams, street robbery, shotters, plotters or H.M.P

0:52:26 > 0:52:29# And when we ain't kids no more, will it still be about

0:52:29 > 0:52:30# What it is right now?

0:52:30 > 0:52:33# Pregnant girls who think they love useless mans with no plans

0:52:33 > 0:52:35# And when we ain't kids no more, will it still be about

0:52:35 > 0:52:37# What it is right now?

0:52:37 > 0:52:39# Cos negative signs just keep showing up

0:52:39 > 0:52:41# Some of us better just start growing up

0:53:04 > 0:53:08# Pay money, pay respect, don't insult my intellect

0:53:08 > 0:53:09# When I look at my life I can't help but think

0:53:09 > 0:53:11# Cos I could've resorted to drugs and drink

0:53:11 > 0:53:13# Every day was the same as the day before

0:53:13 > 0:53:15# We were never quite sure of what's in store

0:53:15 > 0:53:16# Every day I wake up I can't help but feel

0:53:16 > 0:53:19# I'm certain of life I mean, is this real?

0:53:19 > 0:53:20# Mad thoughts skip around my head like dancers

0:53:20 > 0:53:22# I know it's long to question but I need answers

0:53:22 > 0:53:24# The whos, the whats, the hows, the whens, the whys

0:53:24 > 0:53:26# You can at look in my face and see the pain in my eyes

0:53:26 > 0:53:27# Like the rain in the skies

0:53:27 > 0:53:29# So hold back put my feet down and rise

0:53:29 > 0:53:30# Cos guys wanna test my words

0:53:30 > 0:53:32# So I can't just cater for second or third

0:53:32 > 0:53:34# Plus I know predators only go for the weak

0:53:34 > 0:53:36# And that's long so I gotta stay strong

0:56:43 > 0:56:48- You were writing rap from the moment you were a small kid, really, weren't you?- Like nine years old.

0:56:48 > 0:56:51Around nine I'd seen a guy in the neighbourhood who was just

0:56:51 > 0:56:54outside freestyling about what everyone in the neighbourhood

0:56:54 > 0:56:57had on and he, you know, attracted this big crowd and it was, like,

0:56:57 > 0:57:01just so fun and I was so fascinated by it, and that's pretty much when

0:57:01 > 0:57:05rap was really hitting, you know, and I just started writing from there.

0:57:05 > 0:57:07# If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you, son

0:57:07 > 0:57:10# I've got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

0:57:10 > 0:57:13# I've got the Rap Patrol on the gat patrol

0:57:13 > 0:57:15# Foes that wanna make sure my casket's closed

0:57:15 > 0:57:17# Rap critics that say he's "Money, Cash, Hoes"

0:57:17 > 0:57:21# I'm from the hood, stupid, what type of facts are those?

0:57:21 > 0:57:23# If you grew up with holes in your zapatos

0:57:23 > 0:57:26# You'd celebrate the minute you was having dough

0:57:26 > 0:57:28# I'm like ... critics, you can kiss my whole asshole

0:57:28 > 0:57:31# If you don't like my lyrics, you can press fast forward

0:57:39 > 0:57:41# So advertisers can give 'em more cash for ads, uh-uh!

0:57:41 > 0:57:44# I don't know what you take me as

0:58:09 > 0:58:12# Bounce on the devil, put the pedal to the floor

0:58:12 > 0:58:14# And I ain't trying to see no highway chase with Jake

0:58:14 > 0:58:17# Plus I got a few dollars... I can fight the case

0:58:37 > 0:58:39# "I ain't stepping out of shit, all my papers legit!"

0:58:39 > 0:58:42# "Do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?"

0:58:42 > 0:58:44# "Well, my glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back
