[00:09.66]From the first time I saw you, infatuation
[00:11.91]Pulled to the side to provide conversation
[00:14.44]Wild reputation but you were so cool
[00:16.43]Any old fool knew that you was a jewel
[00:18.99]Ghetto to ghetto, your influence settled
[00:21.47]More hardcore than R&B but not metal
[00:23.77]Blacker than a kettle, you made me feel mellow
[00:26.12]Introduction to my life, I said "hello"
[00:28.63]Meet me in a minute cause I gotta finish school
[00:30.87]Some of my homies, they never finished puffin' woos
[00:33.25]Stayin' up late, always studying the tapes
[00:35.63]The more I watched you, I fell in love, I guess fate had a
[00:38.19]Grip on my mind state, I wanna rhyme, wait
[00:40.82]I fell in line, getting signed at the wrong gates
[00:43.04]And so my heart braced at first for real
[00:45.08]But I would still be lovin' you cause deep is what I feel
[00:47.62]

[01:06.63]
[01:06.95]She's the one I always count on, one that wouldn't leave me
[01:09.43]One that's in the city always written in graffiti
[01:11.88]One that keeps me company, when I'm all alone
[01:14.29]She's my heart, my mind, my spirit and my bones
[01:16.51]She's the only one I know that would go across the globe
[01:18.86]Meet me in a foreign land, treat me like I'm home
[01:21.24]Everything I own, give to her, she deserves it
[01:23.85]Treats me like a king, every syllable is perfect
[01:26.07]Searched through the earth for a reason just to be here
[01:28.65]And since I met her every moment's like a leap year
[01:30.93]Baby you can sleep here, you can stay with me
[01:33.23]Anywhere you go, know I'm probably gon' be
[01:35.50]Full of energy, and you never acting tired
[01:38.06]You're everything I need, when I prayed, God supplied
