I can see the sky cryin' when your rain fall tears
Gotta close the windows when the wind blows, dear
I can hear the hurricanes when the ends close near
She cry me a river, now the sun down here
Right about now, I'd do anything just to see your face every day, every day
'Cause right now, I'd do anything just to stay in your graces, like anything, every day
Let me know who we ain't die, feelin' alive just like my vital signs
Show me all your vital signs, uh, let me know, let me know
Let me know who we ain't die, pinch me, let me know I'm alive
I ain't ever been this high before, I hope life ain't nothin' else
Right about now, I'd do anything just to see your face every day, every day (I'd do anything)
Right now, I'd do anything just to stay in your graces, like anything, every day
Throw you that, all my chains, all my brands, and names
Changin' all my ways, cut my braids, baby, just to hear you, just to feel you
Right about now, I'd do anything just to see your face every day, every day (I'd do anything)
I can see the sky cryin' when your rain fall tears
Gotta close the windows when the wind blows, dear
I can hear the hurricanes when the ends close near
She cry me a river, now the sun down here
Right about now, I'd do anything just to see your face every day, every day (I'd do anything)
'Cause right now, I'd do anything just to stay in your graces, like anything, every day
Dumb, temporarily unable or unwilling to speak
Trips, roll the four, five, six, baby
Hundred G's on the lick, baby, bet on me for the win
Feel the breeze on the trip, summer eve on your pits, baby
Hennessy on your lips, baby, bubbly on the trip, baby
(No Mercer for the Prince) I ain't even see a cent
Tryna make ends meet, niggas gon' backdoor you when they can
Ass-bet when they gamble, it just is what it is, baby
No more business with the friends (baby), they don't wanna see you win (baby)
Backstab you in the end
Used to call a nigga twin back then, we ain't even really kin
Every Barbie need a Ken (baby), she more realer than the men (baby, baby)
Roll the four, five, six, she blow the dice, give a kiss, baby
Ride 'em on four-fifth, treat this shit like the Vegas strip
Take her home, make her strip, baby, bring it back, make it flip, baby
Then take you on a trip, baby (baby, baby, baby)
Hold me down off the strength (baby), play Nintendo with my bitch (baby)
She ain't never even switch (baby), just we in this bitch
Sound like speakin' French, always us, never them, baby
Memories in the trench, back overseas with the clique (clique)
See a sea of people in the pit, three hundred niggas that I'm with
Trojan condoms like Leonidas, Xerxes with the kick (kick)
I was 13 with a brick, baby, didn't master how to whip, whip (baby, baby)
Big steppin' in this shit, no half-steppin' in this shit
Niggas ass-bettin' on the strip, beat 'em ass-naked, make 'em strip (baby, baby, baby)
I'ma leave, don't trip, baby, I'ma leave no lip, baby
I'ma be real quick, baby (baby, baby, baby)
Brother gamble with the blick (uh), rubber handle with the grip (grip)
Keep one hand on the hip (hip), lifestyles of the rich (rich)
Got lights out in the crib (crib), new shoes for the kid (kid)
No food in the fridge, one small room in the crib
One wrong move, gettin' blitzed (blitzed), gotta get it how you live (yeah)
Lifestyles in shambles and shit, lifestyles of the rich (baby)
Lifestyles in shambles and shit, gamble with the rent (baby)
Nigga came up quick (baby)
Walk around with a chip on the shoulder, talkin' down, get a chip and a soda
Fuck around, gettin' clicked (clicked)
Ride around gettin' chauffeured
Can't walk around, so we walk 'em down again
Can't, can't walk a mile, so we totin' iron, nigga (be nicer then)
Baby need new shoes (phew)
