[Intro] Wa**up y'all, it's your girl [?] and right now you checkin' out Larry Love and DJ O'Minaya on W-LLL Yea [Verse 1: Mickey Factz] I want a love like Ruby and Ossie's You know Ruby and Ossie Friends with the Kennedys, cool with the Cosbys Autobiographies, movies with Spike Lee Everything they did they did it together Not separately, just celebrities livin' off energy Love and serenities, so many memories They got arrested, protested for a legacy Wild in the seventies They knew Martin and Malcolm they were friends with ‘em They did eulogies for ‘em when they left Shoulders on both sides, leanin' on each other Hopin' they both strive When Ruby wasn't actin' most of the slow times Ossie got gigs and said you know she could roll by If [?] float by They work together just like Kobe and no 5 When [?] was not high I need that security, they dealt with impurities Money problems, worrying Here's an example of an issue Ruby said divorce and I ain't gon' miss you Ossie said aight, if you get married agian Make space for a brotha cause I'm comin' there with you That's love, somethin' I want, somethin' I need That's love, someone to hold, someone to please That's love ,somewhere to go, somewhere to be Go into the middle of nowhere with me [Hook: Bonita] If we are everything that you said that we should be Then I'm there, even I'm there And if we are the definition of connection Then I'm ready, forever and ever Ready, forever and ever, I'm there [Verse 2: Mickey Factz] They even had side pieces Open marriage back then, it sound genius Then the man said I don't want nobody else Cause my family means more to me than these wild divas I'm kinda speechless, 57 years is a lot of weeks spent A lot of respect, no lottery cheques can amount to the time That they bonded through debt Ruby said black women gotta understand The struggles of the black man in this wack land God don't want me and he took her left hand Four finger seal with a nice wedding band, man I love you means I want you to be the very best you can be Whether it benefits me or not, damn And even in his d**h She put his ashes in the room right where she slept So they could be together while separated next And when she met with him they became one flesh Again, in the urn cause they was in it together Not just words This is what I want, when it come to her I have observed both of them so have learned Love overcomes lust and even through a loss Love overcomes trust, love overcomes much, yep Heaven is dope, 57 years down, forever to go [Hook] [Outro: Larry Love] Well, there you have it.
