SCHOOL GIRL written by Sheldon Manoo (1994)

Yeah your uniform is inside your bag again
And classes are on right now
Oh I been thinking about what you're doing to yourself
Without a book in your bag I need to be of some help
I know you like hanging out with me
You want to learn about life from me
But you can't honestly believe that it's gonna stay so forever
What about your parents , your little sister and brother?

Girl I think I told you time and time before
That I'm a loser, not a user, don't want to hurt Yuh, don't want to spoil your life, your future

Hey school girl take your education now (4x)

Don't run away like me
I'm not a role model for anybody
I'm just taking up room in this planet here
Maybe I'd find where I belong someday somewhere
But you're a school girl so go back to your classes
I could never do anything good for you
And you can't say that you love me
Cause I myself don't know what love is and maybe if I did I'd think you're too young and you got too much going
I know you could make something for yourself
Hey school girl don't you be crying now
Cause the tears ain't gonna help you anyhow
Look you're young , you're gonna get over this infatuation you got
And yo school girl I hope that you listen to what I said
I don't want you messing up your life
Cause you're do brilliant and I know you could be a superstar
Look I'll be proud of you where ever you are
Just try not to think of me
For now you're just a school girl
Soon you'll be in the real world
Just keep good in your soul
And God in control 

Now you're just a school girl
Soon you'll be in the real world
Just keep good in your soul
And God in control

Billie's Story

Well everybody know he song about me
Nobody really know de real history
Look how my name bring he so much fame
But I is de one who hah to bear de shame
De time we spent together was really nice
Buh ting change when meh belly start to rise
He said my career is going up and up
So this affair would now have to stop
My image eh ready for no baby
And Billie you know everyone would believe me

Though he deny it
I just kept quiet
But it is alright
We doing alright

So Ah come back to Trinidad with meh child
Wit de money he give meh to set up meh life
So Ah set up meh boutique in Chagua as
Never tell no one all about us
It hah so many who look just like Mike
My son never questioned his birthright
I watched his fame and his other children
I said Yuh know what Ah go pray for them

Though he denied it
I understand it
And it is all right 
We doing alright

It was sad for true
What me and my son Jack went through
But we both are doing well
But one day that story I'll tell
It was really a big heartbreak
To know he can never corroborate
So my story may never be told
But I wish healing for the world

May God be with you
In all that you do
You'll be alright
When God by your side
May God be with you
In all that you do
You'll be alright
When God by your side
May God be with you
In all that you do
You'll be alright
When God by your side
May God be with you
In all that you do
You'll be alright
When God by your side

LET YOUR TRUE COLOURS ILLUMINATE YOUR REAL BEAUTY written by Sheldon Manoo (1994)

Come on and shine
Now is the time
You gotta be something special
Gotta glow like an angel
Don't let the troubles of the world rip your heart
Like the way it brings tears to your eyes
Don't let wicked people pull your dreams apart
You can as long as you believe touch the sky
Come out and shine
You gotta shine shine shine
Come let your beauty shine

The beauty on the inside
Let it shine all outside
Anywhere you want to go
No matter how the wind blow
You gotta gotta gotta know
You are in control
So come just shine
Be real real kind
And free your mind
Don't you see the sign
Know what you're about
Let your pure feelings out
You gotta scream or shout
Don't keep yourself in doubt

You're a star You're a becan
You're the moon You're the sun
You're a comet You're a meteorite
You're electric A big bright light
Let your true colours illuminate your real beauty!
Let your soul shine for all this dark world to see!

If you got a goal
That's the way you go
Watch your dreams unfold
They can't tell you no
As long as you be
The person that you see
As long as you believe
In the things you achieve
So come now shine
Let them see you shine
You must shine your light
For its burning bright
Whether day or night
You must do what's right
And keep on shinning
You're the silver lining
You gotta shine shine shine
Let the real you shine
Let your true colours shine
Shine for all the time
Oh oh wooh!

(Music)

You're a star You're a becan
You're the moon You're the sun
You're a comet You're a meteorite
You're electric A big bright light
Let your true colours illuminate your real beauty!
Let your soul shine for all this dark world to see!
