You and I will always be together
Peace or war no matter the weather
Me and you like birds of a feather
Til the wind blows us away
We stand tall while they fall together
Gun left I formation like the letter
Modeling the shelter cause we're built for whatever
Til the wind blows us awayFrom the
beginning it felt like we been in love
We took at chance knowing how slim it was
The world is ours now let's split it up
And you know how short life is lets Big it up
Dinner plus the cinema then let's hit the club
Posting up like both of us is spending wads
Cause we didn't get it if it didn't come in him and hers
Chemistry together just like a
Don't worry bout me going left or doing you wrong
We right for each other it's a beautiful bond
We hug and touch we love and lust
We last through the bashes we cuss and fuss
Until we trust that love is just for us
Until it's ashes and ashes and dust to dust
You and I will always be together
Peace or war no matter the weather
Me and you like birds of a feather
Til the wind blows us away
We stand tall while they fall together
Gun left I formation like the letter
Modeling the shelter cause we're built for whatever
Til the wind blows us awayIn each others arms
It's like heroin love
That dope fiend forever in love
But it's better than drugs
It's heavy on the heart it's still a risk
But we'll never fall apart we was built for this
Nuttin' that we can't sort out, sport up, and thought out
Erase all doubt
Go hard and all out
You and my fam fall out
Most of your family can't stand me
We can't let that cross out our family plans can we
Uhuh, we won't get no love from it let's just keep it 100 'til we 100
Stack Grand's 'til we grandparents
Whatever work but lets hope for the best and expect the worse
Cause we'll have good and bad times together
But the bad will make the good times that much better
So let's absorb it
'Til we scrolled out in coffins in 20-12
If the world fall out the orbit
You and I will always be together
Peace or war no matter the weather
Me and you like birds of a feather
Til the wind blows us away
We stand tall while they fall together
Gun left I formation like the letter
Modeling the shelter cause we're built for whatever
Til the wind blows us awayWe go together like criminals and crime
Instrumentals and rhymes
Clothes and trends like real G's and dimes
Stone Gems and shine real cream and pies
Chrome rims and rides like ill teams and grind
Like identical designs the pentacle to rise
Flows and ants like skilled dreams and drive
Home in France like a lil' trees and bobs
Close as kin like heels, jeans and thighs
Since I was rocking Giselle's you was hotter than hell
Now it's me and you like Barack and Michelle
Denzel and Pauletta
Prevail in all weather
Stand tall while they fail and fall together
Pleasure and the pain the pressure and the hate
Through whatever we together like forever and a day
Checks and dollar signs
The love for paper
Better yet like father time and mother nature
