美國流行歌壇天王[王子]&[新動力世代(NPG)]──R&B/爵士曲──[Willing and Able/意願跟能力]
Said Im willin and Im able
Im ready to place my cards on the table
Ive been holdin back this feelin for far to long
Now that Im willin, its a fact
Is truly mighty strong
Like a child lost in the wilderness
Till I reach my destination, I wont rest
Cause Im willin (willin)
And Im able (able)
Im ready to place my cards on the table (table)
Theres some kings in my deck and a queen or to
So you know there aint nothin,
Nothin that I wouldnt do (nothin that I wouldnt do)
It twas a long time coming
But now that its here
All the non-believers better fear me
Cause Im willin (willin and able)
And Im able (shoo-doo-doo)
I got good and plenty cards
To place on the table (table)
I Been holdin back this feeling for far to long
(holdin back this feeling for far to long)
Now that Im willing, (this feelin) this feelin
Its truly mighty strong (truly, woo, I, I)
Im willing (willin)
able (able)
My vision is all clear, Im feelin kinda stable
You know I am, you know I am
Ready to whisper (whisper, whatcha say)
Ready to shout (shout, now whatcha say)
Ready to scream (scream, now whatcha say)
Highest mountain top (whatcha say, whatcha say)
Oh, Lord, Im willing and able (willin)
I want to dance and sing, somebody watch me do my thing
Oh (willin)
Oh (able)
Oh (willin and able)
Oh (oh, oh, oh)
Oh (willin)
Oh (able)
Oh (willin and able)
Oh
Oh, I want to dance and sing, somebody watch me do my thing
(Dance and sing, let me watch you do your thing)
(Oh, bring it to me)
Oh
Oh
Let me take a bite
To see if youre ripe
Im kinda thinkin about
Takin a hunk, chunk a piece of your love tonight
Well hello, MC T on a mello swing low to the tempo
As I flow on a roll here we go, willing and able Start the show right
With that type of hype
I Lay my cards on the table tonight
Dont take me light my flow hits you just like a lead pipe
While Im clockin You just say fess about the boots Im knockin
It aint like that
But somethin to keep the Jimmy so get off my back
In fact you lack the knack step back before I show you how a fool acts, baby
Yeah
