[Jean's alter ego talking] Hey boy, you know sometimes when two people are in love They just can't seem to get it together And that's how I feel about you [Jean Grae] He already knew I was down for the cause But hard to get is much more fun What's better than that really? Son was like feel me? I was all Nah Catchin' feelings truly upset when he had to go And school me on ways of catchin a mate, god I'm matchin' a date cuz I'm lackin skills And mack is Smaller than an Ipod I'm kiddin I know the mackin is rules Was tackin on the wifey latch since backpackin in school But he's different though I feel him mo Can't play it simple, No! Can't fuck up the friendship for them dimples, Nope! I need to enter his space and probe his INTERSCOPE Just like im vanity lookin for his inner glow He's not a BAD BOY, never sampled, his type before Moved to New York from Los Angeles Cali Swagger ain't attached to nothin We puffin analyzing the city after he's rollin somethin I wanna ROCK A FELLA so bad, oh man Note pad filled with all the ink his soul had Visions of us. Kissin the whole nine No JIVE could picture his whole profile But I can't step, I risk the chance of losin everything A friendship is more important than a wedding ring Now when he's callin me I keep actin SHADY And lately screenin all his calls to escape he Keepin my heart safely tucked in, but I can't function Until the AFTERMATH of our conjunctions passed Punkin out, Im duckin out his way Can't look him in the face, eyes drippin with game My mind's trippin again, damn [Jean's alter ego Talking] You got me goin crazy I think I, I think I love you, I think I love you, But [Jean Grae talking] Maybe it just shouldn't be us two Maybe I'm just not the one who's right you know And maybe we can't be together tonight Or maybe it's just not good I mean, maybe you need another girl Maybe I can't just be in your world Maybe we just can't be together For you, whatever [Jean's alter ego talking] Boy you got me going crazy Should we be lovers Should we be friends I just wanna be with you, until the end [Jean Grae] I, J Grae solemly need this Fresh to death man Even blind girls can see that he's DEF JAM I'm in this UNIVERSAL problem Y'all can probably relate, y'all follow then So do I give my lovin to him? Or would that just ruin everything that we're about I'm so attached to him He knows the way I am, tempers un-godly so Domestic violence could turn to me on DEATH ROW He's so persistant with it, we're makin out again We double datin, out with one of his COLUMBIA friends He didn't graduate, So it makes him feel shitty We leave the place, and wonder hand in hand around the city He leans in kisses me, his G UNIT shiftly My mind is misses sweet(?) we movin into ecstasy His warmth next to me, now we're all neckin Layin in his arms affectionate [Jean Grae talking] Maybe it should be us two together Maybe I'm the one for you forever Or maybe we were suppose to be together tonight And maybe everything is just right And maybe I'm your love until the end of time And maybe I'm suppose to be yours, and you mine And maybe It's just alright And for you still, whatever [Jean's alter ego talking] Well I guess I, I guess I was the one for you This is beautiful, Just us together forever and ever and ever Can I get you anything? Do you need some weed? Some back woods? A back rub? A slice of cake? I'd do anything for you boy Anything, anything Except for that.
