It's hard to believe it's been more than a decade since Alicia Keys songs first started making their rounds on the radio.

The songstress first burst on the scene in 2001 at the tender age of 20, but her age belied her talent and skill.

Top 10 Alicia Keys Lyrics

Amy Sciarretto — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 18:13:17 +0000

Alicia Keys lyrics aren't exactly poetry, but they are genuine, heartfelt and feel as though she lifted them from her own diary to share them with us via song. Although she is largely viewed as a girl with a piano and a big voice, it's what that massive, beautiful voice says that's equally as important. She didn't name one of her albums 'The Diary of Alicia Keys' for nothin'. There is power in her simplicity when it comes to words.
