my fav song from him is Time to grow

Here's some of his lyrics


"Time To Grow"

Last night I tried but I couldn't sleep
Thoughts of you were in my head
I was lonely and I needed you next to me
Life is harder since you left
I never meant to do you wrong
And now all is said and done
I hope you won't be gone too long/ No

[Chorus]
Where do I go
What do I do
I can't deny I still feel something
And girl, I wish you could say you feel the same
You've broken the bond
I gotta move on
But how do I end this lonely feeling?
You've gone, I'm here, alone
I guess it's time to grow

I try to speak, but my words never catch the air
Like you never knew I was there
Take me back to the days when you really cared
Can we make love re-appear?
I can't go on the roads too long
And now all is said and done
I can't go forward if my heart's still where i'm coming from

[Chorus]

Crying time is over
I know I can't control her feelings
If she won't return, then I guess I'll be a man
and move on

Time to grow / And move on
Make life better than it was before
Time to grow and move on
Make love better than I did before [repeat]

Though you've gone / And I'm here, alone
I guess it's time to grow

I like him, he's cute. I like his song "If there's any justice". He won best something at the Brit Awards 2006.

I never heard of him.

Lemar he makes me smile, very down to earth i met him once at the Base lounge and he is so nice,he has that air about him like he is still not aware he is a star. I love him.

Myself and colleagues were rooting for him when he was unknown and  on the reality show Fame Academy 2002,we voted to keep him non stop, a clear winner in our eyes but it was not to be, he was told he had no talent, by that awful judge Richard Park, week after week that man wanted Lemar out. Anyway like they say every cloud eh! .

Although he did not get enough votes to keep him on the show, in every sense Lemar is the true winner and only star the show can boast of. He lost his mum in 2003 shorty after getting a record contract and he is truly the uk's soul man   the rest they say is history

First album , Dedicated~~~~~~~~~~ fav track ,  lullaby written by lemar and Ainsley on the show
Second, Time to grow~~~~~~~~fav track, if there's any justice(very soulful)

How do you know?
Any how

i love the track " if there is any justice" Lemar has such a soulful voice. The boy sure got talent

@Kave; how do they fall?

Lemar is the man,the guy is rep naija very well.

Man, that nigga's da shiznit, repping naija 2 d core.

From 50 50 to lullaby to if there's any justice, that guy dwarfs dizzie rascal by kilometers.

we keep saying the guy is a nigerian or may be that s what we want to hear or have you ever hear where this guy ever says he is a nigerian even at any interview.may be it's me that seem to be seeing all this in a different way all this big star dont seem to be a happy to be a nigeria so why are we dieing  claiming them.there are many like that, that i dnt which to get out names.senegal can proudly poin to akon as there,s south africans can point to charliz throne as there's who can we point to .of recent i had ne-yo is a nigerian which seem to be true except ofcourse if  i dont know what is a nigerian name anymore

lemar still remember say him get naija roots?

na wa oh

I have b oth albums by Lemar and my favorite song of them all is "lullaby". Thats song is loooooooovely
