Globetrotter
Words & Music by Wil Key
There is a place that I’ve been dreamin’ of
In living color
A wonderful space where we can share a love
For one another
And if you want to come along
No need to borrow
I got a ticket for the plane we’re on
And it leaves tomorrow
Run on, run on
Every step will take you farther
Globetrotter
Play on, play on
Hear the music getting hotter
Let’s take a stroll along the Elysess’
Midnight in Paris
I got a castle there to give away
And you are the Heiress
And we can go dancing on black sand
From Greece to Rio
See I got a fire starter in my hand
For wherever we go
Run on, run on
Every step will take you farther
Globetrotter
Play on, play on
Hear the music getting hotter (repeat)
These dreams will take flight
Let’s go it’s alright
This plane goes all night
Around the world, around the world
Don’t stop til we get beyond the stars
These dreams will take us far
Around the world, around the world
Makes no difference really who you are
Your destiny is written the heart
Globe-trot-er
Run on, run on
Every step will take you farther
Globetrotter
Play on, play on
Hear the music getting hotter

Sho' Nuff
Words & Music by Wil Key
So long and, so deeply
We’ve loved so far
Sometimes I, look where we are
And my mind goes back to where we started
So young and, so easy
Sweet, wild and free
No tellin’, what we might be
I’d stop my world to find you
I build my life around you
What must I do to let you know that
Sho’ Nuff, I love you
Now so good but, so naughty
We get it up
Somehow I, can’t get enough
Little girl you know you make make heart say
Owwwww, what a love
what a love, what a love, what a love
There nothin’‘ better
Owww gonna run, Gonna run,
Gonna run, Gonna run this race together
I’d stop my world to find you
I build my life around you
What must I do to let you know that
Sho’ Nuff, I love you
Now you could love 3-4 kinda ways
On the down low or in your face
High class girl or ‘round the way
Pending on how you make the play
But you see a good love built to last
And if it come real, won’t leave too fast
if you see it quick, step on the gas
Cause a real live sho’ Nuff the best
Now would you meet me in the middle?
(Sho’ nuff)
When I’m halfway out my mind?
And could you love me just a little?
Only now until the end of time?
Now would you meet me in my dreams?
(Sho’ Nuff)
Follow me let’s ride or die?
And if you show me everything?
I’ll forever keep you by my side?
Sho’ Nuff
It’s a real thing
Sho’ Nuff
It’s a sure thing
Sho’ Nuff
It’s a good thing
Sho’ Nuff
Oh our love babe, is
Sho’ Nuff
(Horn break)
Ain’t nuthin like the real thing baby
I’d stop my world to find you
I build my life around you
You know I’d never doubt you
What must I do to let you know that
Sho’ Nuff, I love you
If you’re feelin’ right
I’ll turn off the light
And if you hold me tight
We can go all night
Girl your love is
Sho’ Nuff, like Sunshine brighter than
all of the stars above
Girl your love is
Sho’ Nuff, like good wine poured on my
heart for this drink of love
Girl your love is
Sho’ Nuff, (like Hotline)
Sho’ Nuff (like peace signs)
Sho’ Nuff (like cool vines)
Sho’ Nuff (the real kind)
Sho’ Nuff (like so high)
Sho’ Nuff (on cloud 9}
Sho’ Nuff (like good times)

The Window
She wanna love ya’ for a long time
Gucci stiletto in the red light
She got the honey on the down low
See you can get it in the window
I think she told me she was Candy
Sweet little chocolate bar
And tonight she gonna take me far, yeah
Oh Flame, I seen the flame on her candle
She closed the curtain real hard
And it blinked for every man she rocked
You’re lookin’ for somethin’
Just another lonely girl in the glass
You want her to love you
But she fly too fast
She wanna love ya’ for a long time
Gucci stiletto in the red light
She got the honey on the down low
See you can get it in the window
Ay, I think she said her name was Trina
Cute little strawberry blonde
And she didn’t have no panties on (oh, money)
You pay your money she get nasty
See fifty Euro for fun
And better believe you ain’t the only one, naw
She lookin’ like fire
But the make-up only hiding her pain
A beautiful liar
That ain’t even her name
Now we gon’ have to turn you out baby
Watch me make my love go down baby
See we gon’ make you scream real loud baby
Gucci make the world go round baby
(GUITAR SOLO)
Hi, she said “hi, they call me Layla”
Brown sugar beauty and tall
And when she bend it, you could see it all
Make, she give you make-believe affection
Oh yeah, she mastered the game
But when you’re done it doesn’t mean a thing
She live in the window
Just another pretty face in the pane
She want it to end though
But it never change
She lost in the window
Just another dollar, nutha’ day
If you want a friend though
You gon’ have to pay
She wanna love ya’ for a long time
Gucci stilettos in the red light
She got the honey on the down low
See you can get it in the window
She wanna let you get your freak on
Yellow bikini in the neon
She put her thing up for the rental
See you can get it in the window

G.L.O. (Good Love Overture)
Words & Music by Wil Key
Enter the night
after the party’s over
after the last young man has told you
his empty lines
I see in your eyes
as you look over your shoulder
you’re looking for someone left to hold you
If just a while
So lost and lonely
but I can see the woman you wanna be
the one that’s glowing
and i can take you there if you come with me
And If we turn the lights down low we can get it
I can give you every part of me
wanna take it slow, so, slow for a minute
then we pick up the speed (faster, faster)
Baby we can bang, bang, bang like a drummer
beat up the walls and scream for more
turn around and roll, roll, roll undercover
don’t you know that good love sparks the GLO
Light of the dawn
enter the morning after
enter the holding and the laughter
the ecstasy
Wrapped up in my arms (in my arms)
but scared to let feelings catch you
you better let somebody love you
and best it’s me
And If we turn the lights down low we can get it
I can give you every part of me
wanna take it slow, so, slow for a minute
then we pick up the speed (faster, faster)
baby we can bang, bang, bang like a drummer
beat up the walls and scream for more
turn around and roll, roll, roll undercover
don’t you know that good love
sparks the, GLO
Over and Over (UntiI I hear your heart)
Over and Over (Until I’m near your spark)
Over and Over (Until the love we start)
Over and Over (It come and light the dark)
Over and Over (Until it feels so nice)
Over and Over (Until the motion’s right)
Over and Over (Until I taste your spice)
Over and Over (Not only once but twice)

Mahogany
Words & Music by Wil Key
Ebony angel with a golden crown
lips of rose and the skin of brown
elegant flower I have found you now
and you are a star
In your eyes I see the jade and stone
emerald tears, but so beautiful
sweeter than everything I’ve known
heiress to the throne
that is what you are
But how do I let you know
Girl the love that you’ve got is gold?
How can I make you see,
That you are a star
Mahogany?
Nubian lover with the braided heart
for my fire you are the spark
you are the phoenix rising from the dark
supernova star
You’re every color in a sky rainbow
carmel, lime and the sun yellow
sweeter than candy-covered soul
vision to behold
and you’ve come so far
But how do I let you know
girl the love that you’ve got is gold?
how can I make you see,
that you are a star
Mahogany?
Cashmere, suede
lady marmalade
ice and pink champagne
Sophisticated
Powerful
silver eyeshadow
sparkle, glitter gold
A star, creole
I know that I want ya
I know that I feel ya
how can I meet ya?
just fall on me
I know that I love ya
I know that I need ya
how can reach you
Mahogany?

Another Day in Paradise
Words & Music by Wil Key
Vapor clouds blow to start the day
that’s when she arrives, on the morning train
brought a guitar that she wanna play
just a sack full of dreams and songs
She sings out her heart to bare
but the jaded ones, they don’t even care
kinda hard to be a millionaire
in the land of the angels lost
Letting the days go by
all the stars will shine
into the blue again
we ride, dreamin’ our lives
it’s another day in paradise
There’s a man dancing out on Vine
see him tip his hat, for the passin’ dime
reminiscing on another time
when he moved like Gene Anthony Ray
You spin like a superstar
but they pass you by, don’t know who you are
guess you never really get too far
in the land that we call “L.A”
Letting the days go by
all the stars will shine
into the blue again
we ride, dreamin’ our lives
It’s another day in paradise
Letting the days go by
somehow we’ll survive
once in a lifetime
we fly, it’s all in the life
Just another day in paradise
We spin inside the circle
Round we turn our ferris wheel of life
A carousel of all the
Dreams we hold out here in paradise
We spin inside the circle
Round we turn our ferris wheel of life
A carousel of all the
Dreams we hold out here in paradise
Letting the days go by
All the stars will shine
Into the blue again
We ride, dreamin’ our lives
It’s another day in paradise
And the days go by
Somehow we’ll survive
Once in a lifetime
We fly, it’s all in the life

Tracy's Parade
Words & Music by Wil Key
Tracy was a bad boy, from the north side
he liked to hoop n’ game
light-skinned and small, with a lot of style
the boy could really play
Now Tracy he marched to another drum
and whenever you heard it you knew
there could be only one
a radiant child of the sun
nothing more to say
I hear your voice callin’, I hear the Dove
Purple the color of music and love
You are the paint for the artist in us
We thank u, We thank u
I hear your Melody Cool like the rain
Showering down over 17 days
We all are marchin’ in Tracy’s Parade
We thank u, we thank u
Fast forward, Tracy’s in a band
See the train came to carry him down
To Central Grand
Paid the fare, with the guitar in his hand
And he was on his way
Now Tracy, he could sing and could dance (what you say)
That’s when the Hollywood brothers stepped in
to spin a sweet romance
They said “sign your name, we’re giving you a chance”
And took him to LA
I hear your voice callin’, I hear the Dove
Purple the color of music and love
You are the paint for the artist in us
We thank u, We thank u
I hear your Melody Cool like the rain
Showering down over 17 days
We all are marchin’ in Tracy’s Parade
We thank u, we thank u
All of this and more
Is for you
Whenever I feel like giving up
Whenever my sunshine, turns to rain
Whenever my hopes and dreams
Are aimed in the wrong direction
You’re always there
I can hear you singin’, sayin’
Tonight I’m gonna be somebody’s somebody
Tonight I’m gonna belong to someone
We gon’ bring the music to the party
It’s erotic (Erotic City), don’t stop it (Can’t stop this feelin’ I got)
Pop life, everybody needs a thrill
Pop life, we all got a space to fill
Pop life, everybody can't be on top
Life it ain't real funky, when you ain't here to rock....
(Guitar solo)
I hear your voice callin’, I hear the Dove
Purple the color of music and love
You are the paint for the artist in us
We thank u, We thank u
I hear your Melody Cool like the rain
Showering down over 17 days
We all are marchin’ in Tracy’s Parade
We thank u, we thank u
Tracy’s parade
Tracy’s parade
