1000 Deaths Lyrics

I can't believe I can't get over my fear
They're gonna send me over the hill
Ah, the moment of truth is near
They're gonna send me over the hill

I can't believe I'm so caught up in the thrill
(And nothing's) gonna change my will
Locked and loaded up, and I know the drill
(Say know what I'm saying)
They're gonna send me over the hill

I been a witness to this game for ages
And if I stare death in face, no time to waste
But oh!

And if I charge it to the game before
Every time I slip into the unknown
Well, that's only when the spot gets blown
It's war
That is the Lord!
I won't nut up when we up thick in the crunch
Because a coward dies a thousand times
But a soldier only dies just once
Once, once

Yaweh, Yehushua
He don't want no coward soldier
Aah stick it in the golden sand
Musta didna hearda ma prayer

I receive everything that it means
And wield it victoriously
Aha, and cast out all the wickedness
(When they) send me over the hill
I was born to kill
Send me over the hill

I been a witness to this game for ages
And if I stare death in face, no time to waste
But oh!

And if I charge it to the game before
Every time I slip into the unknown
Well, that's only when the spot gets blown
It's war
That is the Lord!
I won't nut up when we up thick in the crunch
Because a coward dies a thousand times
But a soldier only dies just once
Once, once

1000 Deaths Song Chart

A song with this title first appeared on the internet in early February 2010, but was swiftly removed due to a copyright claim by D'Angelo. We finally got to hear the war-themed tune when it appeared on the singer's 2014 Black Messiah album.

The song starts with a rallying cry sampled from the late chairman of the New Black Panther Party, Khalid Abdul Muhammad, that portrays Jesus as a "black revolutionary Messiah."

D'Angelo wrote the song with Kendra Foster of Parliament-Funkadelic, who is credited as a co-writer on eight Black Messiah tracks.

Sugah Daddy Lyrics

It's just the way she's so raw and uncut, good god
She needs a spankin' to shake her up
And I just wish that I could open her up, yeh
To this deeper place of love
High priced snake skin on her arm (oooh)
Lace satin covering up her charms
You shoulda seen the way they tossed and turned
The way she made the congregation squirm

Girl's got a worldly view
Apparently she sees through you
Her love was never meant to share for two
She said I'll do it if you'll be my Sugah Daddy

Take a note from my philosophy
I'ma give her what she need
Can't snatch the meat out of the lioness' mouth
Sometimes you gotta just
Ease it out
I give her a pacifier
I fill my baby's crib with all the sweetness Daddy wants to give
And when it comes to rocking her to sleep, I'll never tire
This is the way I pat my baby on the butt, good god
She had me hooked with only just one glance yeah
She need a spankin', baby, that's wussup
Lawd, Lawd
You say you wanna be the one she
Chooses to star in her meaningless romance

Girl's got a worldly view
What's a sassy girl to do
And if the decision was left up to me
You best believe that I would be her sugah daddy

Brown eyes that will make you blue
Eyes that'll see right through you
She crossed her fingers when she said her vows
She said I promise that I'll sock it to you, Daddy

So I take the child to my crib
I ain't gonna tell you what we did
I hit it so I made the pussy fart
She said it's talkin' to, talkin' to ya, Daddy!

Sugah Daddy Song Chart

This piano-driven, Prince-influenced tune was first performed by D'Angelo during his live concerts back in 2012. The studio version features veteran session legend James Gadson, who is one of the most-recorded drummers in the history of R&B music, and Welsh bassist Pino Palladino - he was Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey's first choice to fill the position left by John Entwistle as the bassist for The Who.

D'Angelo co-wrote the track with Q-Tip. D'Angelo supplied guest vocals on the hip hop artist's 2008 cut "Believe," one of several collaborations the R&B crooner did during the long 14-year gap between Black Messiah and its predecessor, Voodoo.

A 'sugar daddy' is a rich man who lavishes expensive gifts on his much younger female partner. The expression is of American origin and is derived from the slang sugar "money" and colloquial daddy "father."

Another Life Lyrics

How does one attempt to be
The kind of friend that you would want to keep?
I just want to say to thee
Even though it might be hard to believe
The candy-coated thoughts that drift through my sleep
Lets me know it's you that holds the key
I got a craving for confection so sweet
For the taste of when our lips first meet

Oh, in Another Life, I bet you wouldn't know that
Oh, in another life, I bet you were my girl

I just wanna take you with me
To secret rooms in the mansions of my mind
Shower you with all that you need
Take my hand, I swear I'll take my time
I'm not surprised to find that angels compete
For the chance to lay down at your feet
I'm gonna touch in all of the places that please
Pull you close
I wanna feel you breathe

Oh, in another life, I bet you wouldn't know
Oh, in another life, I bet you were my girl

It's another reason for the season
I don't wanna break your heart
Oh, in another life, I bet you were my girl, oh!

Another Life Song Chart

D'Angelo closes his Black Messiah album with this deep-soul romantic ballad. The cut came out of a jam. Engineer Russell Elevado recalled to Billboard magazine: "When that song came about, it was pretty magical. It was literally out of thin air. It was conceived, the way it's arranged, in one evening. Then they did another take of it the following day."

Lady Lyrics

You're my Lady

Don't think I don't see them looking at ya
All of them wishing they could have ya
And as a matter of fact, uh
A bunch of them are itchin' for you to scratch'em
I'm tired of hiding what we feel
I'm trying to get with the real
And I'm-a gonna make it know
'Cause I want them to know

You're my lady

You're my little baby, my darling baby
I swear you're the talk of the town
And everybody wants to know what's going down
Babe, I know they've seen us before
Maybe at the liquor store, or maybe at the health food stand
They don't know that I'm your man

You're my lady

I can tell they're looking at us
I pick you up everyday from your job
And every guy in the parking lot wants to rob me of my girl
And my heart and soul, and everybody wants to treat me so cold
But I know I love you and you love me
There's no other lover for you or me
You're my lady

I can't tell they're looking at us

You're my lady
My divine lady
You're my lady
Such a wonderful lady
I can't tell they're looking at us

Lady Song Chart

Written by D'Angelo and Raphael Saadiq (former lead singer of the R&B trio Tony! Toni! Toné!), this was the third single from D'Angelo's debut album.

"I wrote 'Lady' in a Marriott Hotel lobby in Connecticut," Saadiq told Wax Poetics in 2009. "There was a piano sitting there, and I just sat down and started writing this song about a girl I knew who lived in Long Island. I originally played it for the members of Tony! Toni! Toné!, but they didn't like it. I remember them saying, 'Everything you write is not a hit.' So, I put it away."

D'Angelo confessed that he didn't really like the track while he was recording it because it was too simple. Saadiq explained: "D was trying to be very complex. But when people started telling him how they had made babies to that track, he appreciated it more."

This earned D'Angelo a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.

Untitled (How Does It Feel) Lyrics

Girl it's only you
Have it your way
And if you want you can decide
And if you'll have me
I can provide everything that you desire
Said if you get a feeling
Feeling that I am feeling
Won't you come closer to me baby,
You've already got me right where you want me baby
I just want to be your man

How does it feel
How does it feel
Said I want to know how does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel

I want to stop
Silly little games you and me play
And I am feeling right on
If you feel the same-way baby
Let me know right away
I'd love to make you wet
In between your thighs cause
I love when it comes inside you
I get so excited when I'm around you

How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
Said did it ever cross your mind
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
Tell me how it feels, yeah
How does it feel
Said it's been on my mind
How does it feel
How does it feel

Baby close the door
Listen girl I have something I want to show you
I wish you'd open up cause
I want to take the walls down with you

Untitled (How Does It Feel) Song Chart

D'Angelo wrote this steamy song with Raphael Saadiq as a tribute to pop superstar Prince, particularly his early ballads.

To accompany this track about the singer pleading for some love from his girlfriend, directors Paul Hunter and Dominique Trenier shot a music video of D'Angelo lip-synching into the camera, wearing nothing but a gold cross around his neck. Or so it appeared: He was actually wearing pajama pants during the shoot but pulled them low to preserve the illusion that he was naked. While the clip was popular, it also generated controversy for its alleged sexual objectification.

D'Angelo said of the video: "Well, I want you to feel what I was feeling or try to at least express that," he explains of his unintentional sex appeal. "It's [his sensuality] a part of me. It's always been a part of me. I never thought about it until after the fact. I never really explored it like that. It's not that I never wrote songs like that. They just weren't on Brown Sugar. I just wanted to do a song like that." The singer also underwent an intense training regimen to achieve his ripped physique.

This earned D'Angelo a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 2001. It was also nominated for Best R&B Song but lost to "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child.

This was featured in the 2011 romantic comedy No Strings Attached, starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher.

In 2015, D'Angelo explained to Rolling Stone that the only issue he had with the video was that it sometimes overshadowed the song, but that's he's made peace with it. "I think people gravitated to how sexy and beautiful the song was," he said. "It wouldn't have raised the eyebrows it did if the song wasn't good. The video was just accompaniment."
