In the glitter, the limelight where the world sees only eyes Behind the flash, the fame, the game, it's you who pays the price Keyshia Queen, my corner store beyond the Gucci glass In the solace of our palace, it's only you who cares From Fulton County's darkest cells to stages, it was just Your lust, the melody, the quest, chaos or the fuss Through trials, tears and time, except one true remained so clear You the beat inside my heart, the muse I hold much dear The streets may chant my name a lot, of course bold and free But in the quiet of the night, your whisper is all I need (it's Gucci) You was in the club, I was in the streets (huh?) You just needed love, I just needed peace All we got is time (time), just spend it in the sheets We both was in the trenches, but you ain't by the beach (wow) I need you (I need you), you need me (you need me) I got you (I got you), believe me (believe me) I need you (I need you), you need me (you need me) I got you (I got you), believe me (believe me) You was doin' hell, but I was in the trap (huh?) When we was down bad, who put us on the map? I was in the slammer, but now we on a jet We used to eat the worst (yeah), but now we eat the best (the best) And I remember fighting over the cornflakes, but now I got lots that's stacked on my plate I got cake, got so much cake, I can fuck around and make Drake sing on a date Fuckin' this bitch from the back who thick like candy, but she can't escape (what up?) Damn, I like this beat, this shit remind me of back in the day (wow) You was in the club, I was in the streets (huh?) You just needed love, I just needed peace All we got is time (time), just spend it in the sheets We both was in the trenches, but you ain't by the beach (wow) I need you (I need you), you need me (you need me) I got you (I got you), believe me (believe me) I need you (I need you), you need me (you need me) I got you (I got you), believe me (believe me) I know lovin' me is hard, that shit ain't easy (that shit ain't easy) And it seem like lately, we been beefin' for no reason (for no reason) I know that'd probably break your heart, you caught me cheatin' And if I lie about that shit, you might believe me (you might believe me) But you can't never break this bond, nobody's leavin' We go together, just like YSL and Cleveland (and Cleveland) We clean up good, but in the trenches where you found me I could've went broke, you kept me floatin', I was drownin' (it's Gucci) You was in the club, I was in the streets (huh?) You just needed love, I just needed peace All we got is time (time), just spend it in the sheets We both was in the trenches, but you ain't by the beach (wow) I need you (I need you), you need me (you need me) I got you (I got you), believe me (believe me) I need you (I need you), you need me (you need me) I got you (I got you), believe me (believe me)
