Get down

Go ladies come on

Get down go ladies

Let me hear you say ow

Say ow

Now homeboys make some noise

Where my guys homeboys make some noise

Let me hear you say ho

Say ho

I never knew a luh luh-luh a love like this

Gotta be somethin' for me to write this

Queen I ain't seen you in a minute

Wrote this letter and finally decide to send it

Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together

Love has no limit let's spend it slow forever

Your heart is weathered by what studs did to you

I ain't gon' assault them 'cause I probably did it too

Because of you feelings I handle with care

N***as recognize the light they can't handle the glare

I ain't the type to walk around with matchin' shirts

If relationship is effort I will match your work

I want to be the one to make you happiest

And hurt you the most

The end is near it's important that we close

To the most high

Regardless of what happen on him let's rely

There are times

When you'll need someone

I will be by your side

There is a light that shines

Special for you and me

It's important we communicate

And tune the fate of this union to the right pitch

I never call you my b***h or even my boo

So much in a name and so much more in you

Few understand the union of woman and man

Sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land

Fly by night you in the sky I write

These cold Chi night's moon you my light

Heaven had a height you would be that tall

Ghetto to coffee shop through you I see that all

Let's stick to understandin' and we won't fall

Better or worse times I hope to me you call

I pray every day more than anything

Friends we'll stay as we begin to lay

This foundation for a family love ain't simple

Why can't it be anything worth havin' you work at annually

We known each other for some time

It don't take a whole day to recognize

There are times

When you'll need someone

I will be by your side

There is a light that shines

Special for you and me

It's kind of fresh you listen to more than hip-hop

Catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop

You s**t pop when it's time to

Thinkin' you fresh suggestin' beats I should rhyme to

When I'm lost I try to find you

You know to give me space when it's time to

My heart's dictionary defines you it's love and happiness

Truthfully it's hard tryin' to practice abstinence

The time we committed love it was real good

Had to be for me to arrive still feel good

Sex ain't gon' keep you

But as my equal it's how I must treat you

As my reflection in light I'ma lead you

And whatever's right I'ma feed you

Everybody

Digga-da digga-da digga-da digga-digga-da-da

Yo I tell you the rest when I see you peace

There are times

When you'll need someone

I will be by your side

There is a light that shines

Special for you and me

There are times

When you'll need someone

I will be by your side

There is a light that shines that shines

Special for you

Special for me

Special for you and me

Special for you and me

Everytime I think about you

Everytime I think about you

It's you you you

Special for you and me

It's special for you

You

You and me

Oh baby
