1. Intro
 
2. Throw Your Hands Up
 
The time has finally come to say my piece
For the funky hip-hop sway
Oh check it
No holding back now is the time to get busy
So take me to the bridge
 
I'll work hard for mine
Spending all my time
To give you what you need
 
[Rap]
 
Straight from the streets is where I'm coming from
There's a touch of jazz in me
Check it
Taking no choice when it comes down to shows
I got a record
So take me to the bridge
 
I'll work hard for mine
Spending all my time
To give you what you need
 
[Rap]
 
This is for the jeeps strictly for the jeeps
This is for the jeeps
This is for the jeeps strictly for the jeeps
This is for the jeeps
 
[Rap]

5. Down With The Clique

Well now I guess it's time for me to wreck shop,
so show your peace while the beat drops,
and if you're in the house just throw your hands up,
and let me see my brothas and sistas spread luv.
And if you're not down there's sumthin wrong see,
cause see my project homies, they got my back G,
droppin a old school with a new school..

[chorus repeat 4 times]
Well if you down with the clique,
let me hear you say (I'm down wit it)

Now it's a phone checker, I mustn't do this and if you didn't know I thought you knew this,
It took a little time but now it's on see you been waiting for so long to beep me..hmmm...

6. At Your Best {You Are Love}

Let me know, let me know
Ah - ha, let me know, let me know
Let me know

When I feel what I feel
Sometimes it's hard to tell you so
You may not be in the mood to learn what you think you know

There are times when I find
You want to keep yourself from me
When I don't have the strength; I'm just a mirror to what I see

[CHORUS:]
But at your best you are love
You're a positive motivating force within my life
Should you ever feel the need to wonder why
Let me know, let me know. . .

When you feel what you feel
Oh, how hard for me to understand
So many things have happened before this love affair began

But when you feel, oh, like I feel
Confusion can give way to doubt
And there are times when I fall short of what I say,
what I say I'm all about, all about

[CHORUS]

Tell me what it is (Tell me what it is)
Make believe, no need to make believe
Look beyond your own (Look beyond your own)
Try and find another place for me
Cause. . .

[CHORUS]

Ah, ah, ah - ha
See, at your best baby

7. No One Knows How To Love Me Quite Like You Do

No One Knows How To Love Me Quite Like You Do
No One Knows How To Love Me Quite Like You Do

Liyah you're the only one for me,[3x]
the one for me, the one for me

[chorus]

No one knows how to love me quite like you do... [4x]

When it comes down to the things I like
Boy, you know just how to satisfy me
You pick me up when I'm down, you put my feet on solid ground
And you make me your first priority

[Bridge]
(Keep it comin') keep it comin', babe
(Cause I like it) cause I like it, babe
Don't stop cause no one knows...

[chorus]

When there are clouds on a rainy day
You know how to bring sunshine to my life
And I've never felt this way before
You make me feel like I'm your goddess

[Bridge]

[chorus]

[rap]
Well it's the L-I-Y-A-H plus the second chapter
R Kelly's spitin' tracks, as if it were tobacco
It's the ninties, time to get the pockets phat
So when I say "book", you say "read that"
Now back to the matter of the song
No one knows how to love me like you do
I got words for you...
Uh! Forever my man!!!

[chorus]

Liyah you're the only one for me, [3x]
the one for me, the one for me [till fade...]

8. I'm So Into You

[Chorus]
I'm so into you

Take control of me fullfill my fantasies
Here's my page and number won't you get with me

[Bridge]
It's just the little things you do that turns me on
You really turn me on
And you got it goin' on I'm into you

My dear I feel so weak you knock me off my feet
And it's good to know you love me just for me

There is something that I have to let you know

[bridge]

[chorus]

[rap]
Well can't you see Aaliyah's got a thing for you
And the second chapter like the things you do
So pull up to my bumper and I'll ride wit' you
And let's go rollin' down a block or two
Now add a little bass to the E Q but
Now all of a sudden I gotta whisper sweet little nothing
Aaliyah told me to tell you to call her
(I'm so into you)

[chorus till fade]

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

9. Street Thing


Street Thing
Street Thing
You and me got a street thing going on

I'll never go away, love will always stay here forever...
Cause this thing we've got is very rare, yeah
So don't ever go nowhere, no

Cause you and me got
A street kinda thing goin' on
And I'm so happy that I found you
Our love ain't goin' nowhere

R Kelly's flippin' tracks so grab a hold and don't you sit
The nigga diggin nation that's a sooner gets my grip
So raise your hands if you're sure...
Are you a young nation?

[chorus]

Well, six o' clock, girls are round and now I'm steppin'
Stop to get some dressin', to the mall I'm flexin'
You know to get them funky croaka-sacks
Tonight I'm hittin' the town, ain't holding nothing back
Hey!, Well alright tonight is the night
Well I'm in the mood for celebration, or even some jazzy conversation
Hey! It's O.K here I come so anyway
