A very pleasant good evening ladies aan gentlemen It's now time for the one and only There never will be another Christina Aguilera That's how music shoul sound I've wainted for some time To get inside the minds Of every legend I've ever wanted to stand beside It's like an endless ride Feeling the lows and highs Of every lyric and melody every single rhymes So here I stand today In tribute I do pay To those before me who laid it down and paved the way And so to god I pray That he will give me strenght To carry forward teh gift of song in his good faith I'm going back to basics To where it all began I'm ready now to face it I wanna understand What made the soul singers And the blues figures, yeah That inspired the higher generation The jazz makers And teh ground breakers They gave so much of themselves in dedication So here I stand today In tribute I do pay To those before me who laid it down and paved the way
