You just don't know what you do to me (bad boy)
Give me all the chicken heads from Pasadena to Medina
Bet Big get in between you, then see you (yeah, that's right)
Peep the prognosis, doses, blends and bends like Twizzlers
Big is fitting to hurt, what's under that skirt? (Slow down, son, you're killin' 'em)
Who filling 'em with octane?
Got 'em gassed up, 'bout to get blast up, some
The last one, word to mother, brother, miss 'em
I seen it when he kissed him at the wake, made his body shake (woo)
The high guy in 850i, smoke tint
Rap terror, four chrome Antera's (I like that)
Two-fives by the livers, the fifth's inconspicuous
Bad Boy slipped in '95, ridiculous (that's right)
My rap lines is like land mines (uh)
One step, kaboom Black suits fill the room
To whom it may concern, Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s the clique (shoutout Junior M.A.F.I.A.)
Act up, I'll have my homie total bust your - (that's right)
In the middle of the day now, baby
I seem to think of only you, hey, oh, mm, oh yeah
Never thinking for a moment, baby
That you've been thinking of me too, yeah, so
I can't wait for the day that we can be together
I can't let you walk away, oh (that's right)
Can't you see you and me, we're meant to be, oh baby?
And there's nothing left to say
Can't you see what you do to me?
Our love was meant to be (meant to be), you were made for me
Oh, baby, can't you see what you do to me?
Our love was meant to be (meant for me), you were made for me (when I call)
Every time I see you, I get this feeling, oh yeah
Telling me you are the one, oh, what a feeling
Ay-ay (let's go)
I can't wait for the day that we can be together
I can't let you walk away, oh
Can't you see you and me, we're meant to be, oh, baby?
And there's nothing left for me to say
Oh, baby, can't you see what you do to me? (Can't you see?)
Our love was meant to be (what you're doing to me), you were made for me (boo, woo, I know)
Oh, baby, can't you see what you do to me? (I know you see what you do to me)
Our love was meant to be you were made for me (oh, whoa, oh, oh yeah, mm)
Take me away (that's right), so far away
What would you do to me? Oh, oh, oh
I want to be alone together
Somewhere, just you and me
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, baby, can't you see (oh, baby) what you do to me? (Can't you see?)
Our love was meant to be (you were meant for me), you were made for me
Oh, baby, can't you see (oh, baby) what you do to me? (Can't you see?)
Our love was meant to be, you were made for me (you were made for me)
Oh, baby, can't you see what you do to me?
Our love was meant to be, you were made for me (oh, baby)
Oh, baby, can't you see what you do to me? (Baby, you know what you do to me)
Our love was meant to be, you were made for me
Oh, baby, can't you see (that's right) what you do to me?
Our love was meant to be (our love, our love), you were made for me
Oh, baby, can't you see what you do to me? (Oh, whoa)
Our love was meant to be (is only babe), you were made for me (is only babe)
Oh, baby, can't you see (I don't wanna be) what you do to me?
Our love was meant to be (the way-)
