  • (Ooh-ooh) wassup, boo?
    Yeah (yeah)
    Hahahaha, yeah, that's right

    Another shady mission (ooh)
    Tricks, like watching pictures in hazy vision
    Tonight is love making, take you any place you wish
    Today we're satisfied, yesterday we've stolen kisses
    Blind insanity, perfect pictures of me and my family
    Not understanding the destiny, had they planned for me?
    If I have kids, will I live to see 'em grow?
    Though I don't know
    I live the life of a thug nigga until the day I go
    No broken promises, a sacred bond broken
    I know I die alone, but yet and still I'm hopin'
    Visions of prisons, maybe I'll be forgiven
    I know it's better in heaven, 'cause bein' here ain't livin'
    Close my eyes and see nothin' but pain, the world is crazy
    Still, looking for a queen to plant seeds and have babies
    Maybe I'll be the one or just maybe I'm lost
    You'll never know being cautious, if you play your cards right

    I wanna be the one who (hahaha)
    Who you can depend on who (playa cards right)
    Who'll be the one who'll be there (take your time)
    (Who'll be the one) through the thick and thin (be patient)
    Oh, go by the water, we will (don't rush)
    Be there 'til the morning
    We won't leave until the night (it's goin' down)
    And we will be forever more

    No one else can do what you do for me
    Take me away from the pain I feel inside (I feel inside)
    And it's gonna be alright and it'll be okay
    If we try and take our time
    Please, baby, take your time
    And we'll grow, trust I know
    I wanna be the one who

    I wanna be the one who (hey)
    Who you can depend on who (depend on)
    Who'll be the one who'll be there (who'll be the one?)
    Through the thick and thin
    Go by the water we will (yeah, yeah)
    Be there 'til the morning (we'll be there)
    We won't leave until the night
    And we will be forever more (come on, yeah, over)

    You gotta playa cards right on one (ooh, yeah)
    Can't be rushing like it's a race, know what I'm sayin'? (No, no, no)
    If you be patient, and you take your time (be patient, baby)
    And you finesse it, nine times out of ten times (ten)
    Homeboy, you gon' wake up with your breakfast in bed
    But if you rush, and you just be manhandlin'
    (It takes a real man) yeah, go home tonight, haha
    Playa cards right, nigga (yeah)
    Take your time (yeah, be the one)
    Be patient, go slow, it's better that way (oh, yeah)
    Haha, playa your cards right (yeah, be the one)
    (I wanna be the one)

    I wanna be the one who (yeah)
    Who you can depend on who (depend on)
    Who'll be the one who'll be there (who'll be the one?)
    Through the thick and thin (oh, hey)
    Go by the water we will (yeah, yeah)
    Be there 'til the morning (we'll be there)
    We won't leave until the night
    And we will be forever more (yeah, yeah, forever)

    Take your time, nigga (take your time)
    Don't be in such a rush (in a rush)
    Haha
    You got to be patient, man, be patient, haha (ooh, be so)
    It ain't going nowhere one, haha (nowhere)
    Get some champagne (haha, be forever)
    Bring some roses or somethin', you know
    Play some soft shit, light a fire (Luther Vandross)
    You got to be cool with it (Teddy, Teddy)
    You got to be slow with it (ooh, be so)
    You got to be patient, haha
    You got to playa your cards right on one
    Can't be rushing like it's a race, know what I'm sayin'? (Nowhere)
    If you be patient, and you take your time, and you finesse it (be forever)

    Yeah, I'll tell him to take it slow
    Everybody's movin' so fast these days
    Shoulda listened to every word you said
    They gon' you love you 'cause you beautiful
    But it's another reason why they wanna hurt you
    But you know, rest in peace, bruh Writer/s: Carvin Haggins, Ivan Barias, Johnny Lee Jackson, Keyshia M. Cole, Maurice S. Harding, Tupac Amaru Shakur, Tyruss Gerald Himes, Yafeu Fula
