Angie Stone Recipe
From the pages of my cookbook
Servin' soul food from my cookbook
Like food for your soul
The recipe for a happy life
Takin' every day one day at a time
Water your big dreams and starve your distractions
Pray every day hey then back that with the action
The recipe for a greater love
Knowin' you can't get everything that you want
Love who you love and season it with understanding
Say what you need don't be so damn demanding
Stop and smell the rose
And when you pose for the picture smile
Don't be in a rush, sit and stay a while
Make sure to laugh like you were a child
If it's easy
Chances are that it won't be amazing
Drive-thru quick snack
Ya can't get full off that
Roll your sleeves up
Mix up just what you need
And what you're craving
Don't rush don't cheat
Cookin' up the recipe
The recipe for a happy home
You gotta get the moments alone
Pack up them kids, take they bad asses to ya mama
Go get a room order steak lay in the sauna
And if you don't feel sexy as you once did
Come up with some new shit, put your back into it yeah
Girl you can't be scared
Just got your weave did bet not wet ya hair
Problems come as they often will
Goin' through your storm tell 'em peace be still
That's what my big mama told me
Right after she scolded me
If it's easy
Chances are that it won't be amazing
Drive-thru quick snack
Ya can't get full off that
Roll your sleeves up
Mix up just what you need
And what you're craving
Don't rush don't cheat
Cookin' up the recipe
You know you got something good goin'
If you feel good about it
You know you got something worth having
If you can't live without it
Appetite satisfied all day
Want the kinda love that's so good
Make you wanna clean the plate
If it's easy
Chances are that it won't be amazing
Drive-thru quick snack
Ya can't get full off that
Roll your sleeves up
Mix up just what you need
And what you're craving
Don't rush don't cheat
Cookin' up the recipe
