Right about now If I judge for life, man, would you stay by my side? Or is you gonna say goodbye? Can you tell me right now? If I couldn't buy you the fancy things in life Shawty, would it be alright? Come on show me that you know Now tell me would you really ride for me? Baby tell me would you die for me? Would you spend your whole life with me? Would you be there to always hold me down? Tell me would you really cry for me?

If I showed you my flaws If I couldn't be strong Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
