Uncharted Terrain
Use Me(with Mick Jagger)
Black Men United - U Will Know


Uncharted Terrain
Written by: Lenny Kravitz

When I was just a boy granddaddy sat me on his knee, 
He told me that he loved me and that we were family, 
We spoke about the world and all the possibilities
Then he held me in his arms , he said: “Be what you want to be”

He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
It’s how I got over

When I became a man granddaddy said:”Come, walk with me”
He said: “Being a man comes with responsibility
And always keep your world to the best of your ability"
When he looked me in my eyes he said: “It’s time to set you free”

He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
It’s how I got over

He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
It’s how I got over

He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a name
It's how I got over


Use Me (with Mick Jagger)
Written by: Bill Withers

My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
Uh huh but my answer about all that use me stuff

I want to spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
You can keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up

My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought to not let you just walk on me
Well I'm sure that he meant well, yeah but when our talk was throught

I said brother if you only knew you'd wish you were in my shoes
You can keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up

Sometimes it's true you really do abuse me
Oh you get me in a crowd of high class people
And you act real nasty to me
I said, oh baby, baby, baby, baby, when you love me I can't get enough

I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
You can keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up


Black Men United - U Will Know

When I was a young boy
I had visions of fame
And they were wild and they were free
They were blessed with my name
Then I grew older
And I saw what's to see
That the world is full of pain
And my pain let me
And then I got stronger
And tired of the pain
That's when I picked up the pieces
And I regained my name
And I fought hard ya'll
To call out my place
And right now you could ask me
And it all seems in place

Bridge:
Your dreams ain't easy
Just stick by your plan
To go from boys to men
You must act like a man
It gets hard ya'll
Just grab what you know
Said I'm tall and don't you fall
U will know

Chorus:
U will know
U will know
U will know
U will know

And I know you're crying
'Cause it's all in this pain
And the things you want
You can have
Just coming in the way
But life ain't over
Just grab the wind and make amenze
And the flight will take you far

Bridge 

Chorus (twice)
