The folio contains twelve musical numbers arranged for standard piano and voice, with melodies incorporated into the piano parts. Featured songs include "Ain't It the Truth," "Belmont Avenue," "The Choices We Make," "Hurt Someone," "I like It," "In a World like This," "Look to Your Heart," "Nicky Machiavelli," "One of the Great Ones," "Out of Your Head," "Roll 'Em," and "These Streets."
