[Intro:]
|
I would do anything in these streets, to keep you here.
|
Let¡¯s go.
|
|
[Tyrese:]
|
All the many days you were on my mind.
|
(Here in my life, just you and I)
|
Visions of me with you, all the time.
|
I¡¯ll do whatever puts a smile on my baby¡¯s face.
|
(Here in my life, just you and I)
|
You¡¯re my best friend and you can never be replaced.
|
|
[Verse 1 ? Black Thought:]
|
I¡¯m on that homicide, suicide, drama like Islamabad
|
Under God, going overboard like the Amastade.
|
Ringing bells, looking funny, 2012, back in ¡¯95.
|
I made it out alive. Now finally I¡¯ve arrived.
|
But still threw back to all my other blue, black people
|
That¡¯s stickin¡¯ to it like, mice to a glue trap.
|
My work speak for itself, so I don¡¯t interrupt.
|
I am an expert, this is no beginners luck.
|
If you denying the truth then I don¡¯t give a fuck.
|
Otherwise put your hands and ya¡¯ antennas up.
|
As we go into our initial decent, I¡¯m alive but only fifty percent.
|
I¡¯m praying God, give me the strength.
|
|
[Chorus - Tyrese:]
|
It seems somebody turned on the lights.
|
It seems somebody started a fight.
|
And I feel so alive. Finally, I realize.
|
And I don¡¯t have to tell myself twice, I know that you¡¯ve changed my whole life.
|
And if I know there¡¯s one thing that¡¯s the truth, I know I¡¯d be lost if I lost you.
|
|
[Verse 2 - Ludacris:]
|
They say tomorrow¡¯s not promised today, but today I promise,
|
If we don¡¯t make our own way somebody¡¯ll take it from us.
|
Snatch it like rats to cheese. So Lord, help me please.
|
¡®Cause I¡¯d rather die on my feet than to live on my knees.
|
Livin¡¯ like I¡¯m bulletproof. Cockin¡¯ the glock then aim and shoot.
|
My future¡¯s Everclear ? 180 proof.
|
So I open the bottle then swallow my pride and drink the pain away
|
I take shots and just lay up, then fade away.
|
Dreaming of better days. Dreaming of better pay.
|
But we got our work cut out for us, so we better pray.
|
Pray to uphold the weak, not for eternal sleep.
|
But if I die, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
You can never be replaced...
|
