Whereas his 1996 EP was similar to his debut, "Push the Button" was extremely eclectic, combining aspects of Rock music and Pop with Soul, Funk and Hip-Hop. This inventive LP was met with good reviews, as was his 2001 follow up "Change is Coming" which had a tropical yet danceable disco and funk sound.
Invitation
Money Mark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I sense your hesitance at taking my advice
I see you wanting to get involved
You are invited but you must return the call
It's a big decision and I know the feeling
'Cause I been there before, it takes believing
And a heart that's willing
You got an invitation, He sent me here to let you know
Paradise is waiting, He's made your reservation
Now tell me don't you want to go to paradise?
It's not going to be stock event
You see the invitations have all been heaven sent
It's come one, come all but unlike most
You can't crash this party 'cause you've got to know the host
The only way that you can, be sure that you're in
When it's time to go, it takes believing
And a heart that's willing
You got an invitation, He sent me here to let you know
Paradise is waiting, He's made your reservation
Now tell me don't you want to go to paradise?
It's a big decision, go on and follow that feeling
'Cause it's almost time to go, it takes believing
So if your heart is willing
You got an invitation, He sent me here to let you know
Paradise is waiting, He's made your reservation
Now tell me don't you want to go to paradise?
You got an invitation, He sent me here to let you know
Paradise is waiting, He's made your reservation
Now tell me don't you want to go to paradise?
