Yeah, Word up And you say New York City A-ha-ha, word up (Take me away, baby) Damn, you and your man had beef So he left you Uptown, teary eyed, on the back streets For me to scoop up in the Bentley drop Long as God hold me down you know I had to stop What the deal ma? You want to use my cell? You running solo? This block foul as hell You said my ex be beating on me He mad jealous even though he be cheating on me I said miss, let me tell you something Bout who's making major moves and who's fronting Huh, who's talking loud but ain't saying nothing And those who get the one they want but keep fronting He don't appreciate the well til it run dry Love is blind, it's hard to say goodbye {goodbye} But smart birds choose to fly Cause we living in the hood girlfriend, it's do or die Here's my definition, of love everlasting I would trade all my cash in, for passion Tiffany jewels and designer fashions To hear happiness is mine for the asking Every day on my knees I pray That I would run into someone that make me feel this way What you think, you want to ride with L? Some things are meant to be baby, you never can tell {I want to ride, with you baby} [Chorus] Every night, every day I just sit and dream about you You and me, you and me, Hold me tight, ecstasy Making love til ever after Baby you and me, yeah, you and me Now we dipping on the FDR It's one of them lucky nights when you can peep out the stars We speak without talking and the world is ours When I glance over at ya I can feel your power You scheming, L want a one-night stand I'm scheming, she probably in love with her man But we keep on rolling, hoping there's something more Dreaming about tomorrow and what life got in store Living, no drama, we can chill, relax Sex all night in the morn' count stacks Sip Grand Marnier and maybe puff a dime sack But only in moderation, we ain't living like that, ya know? We jetted up the tavern on the green To talk about love cause the game's extreme Domestic abuse and everything in between Cause I want you to think of me when you need a shoulder to lean on I'm from Queens, I'ma rep to the fullest But I'd rather chill with you, 'stead of dodging bullets Glock in the stash I don't really want to pull it On some so-called thug cat, that's faker than acrylics He said your fam' be riding your nerves And you hate him for never giving you the life you deserve Remember, the one who hold a grudge is foul And everything you ever wanted is in front of you now Whats up? [Chorus] I promise you, dreams do come true There's trials and tribulations that we all go through When your heart's bleeding, how could the sky seem blue? But listen up shorty, this is what I want to do Be there for you, baby care for you When my dogs stare at you never sharing you And to my ex-girlfriend, never comparing you And do the things that your ex never dared to do Time to bounce baby, I'm taking you home Look at the moonlight sparkle on the 20 inch chrome The rocks on my hand got a life of they own Plus the blend tape's bumping and it's setting the tone Should I jet to the hotel, is now the right time Or should I be patient and explore your mind? You said you grew up in the ghetto and it hurt your heart Tried to live smart but your dreams fell apart You dated hustlers and brought 'em customers They totally destroyed whatever trust their was Now you hate men and everything they stand for Cause you want to be treated like a queen, not a whore Close your eyes, don't be afraid to dream Open your heart to this cat from Queens Whatever you want to do, however you want to do it Back to back baby, we can get each other through it [Chorus: x3] Know mean? Word up Yeah, yeah See'mon, see'mon See'mon, see'mon Yeah, I just want you to think about that, ya know what I'm saying? Late at night when you laying there And you feel like the whole world is falling around you Remember these words that I said There's somebody out there for you baby Might be me, you never know, Word up, stay strong shorty Keep your eyes up to the sky, know what I'm saying? Don't let nobody tell you you can't make it And don't let nobody around you tell you That it ain't possible to make your dreams come true Word up, Know mean? That's real Queens represent, rock on [Chorus]
