Dan The Automator - If It Wasn't For You lyrics

This is the story of you, what makes you special, where you come from This is one of the most exciting stories ever told Because it's about you And you are one of the most important things in this world, you She ride 'cuz her testament has been day one A n***a got trust 'cuz she been day one They one's done, build a fam Bruce Lee So we K-I-S the BS goodbye Damsel in distress so I stress good guy Tarzan and Jane more like Bonnie and Karem Could you be my sugar water, tonic and cream? Put the dean in my yard, like religion and king And diamond you a sight Like unidentified rims spinning in the night Me without your balance just wouldn't sit right Like written wouldn't be past tense without ten If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you Hey, because of you my little lady named fame People spot me like nerves spot pain You put the S on my chest and inside my veins Before that this darkie had to smile for them to see me Now them same kids that used to diss wanna be me Due to me being down with you Hooked up in 82' plus six when you gave me my fix You fixed my house and banking accounts You fixed me up with too many women to count Only right for you to have your side n***as too And even when you don't come back At least when you was here for me The world cheered from you If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you Pen you my muthaf**a, I'm a hold you like piss Even when the itchy burn make me wanna let go There you go smudgin', see actin' mad funny But you kissin' loose leafs so I can't be mad You my confidant when I couldn't tell pops that report card came You signed off with me So when the checks come you'll be signin' off with me But when I'm dead and gone will you sign off? Oh, Paper mate you light like paper weight But you pack ink, can make tattoos turn p**y And when it's mush time you be there like a man In my hand spillin' my heart with you blood If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you You're my first born, my little Capricorn kid Slid in this world at one pound eight ounce My miracle baby grown in to a little lady So fast, like pressing the gas while the tape bounce Through you, me and your grandfather grew closer I understand now, all he try to give for me I wanna give it to you the same way But sometimes fall short and you still live for me I just want you to know I may not show all the right feelings or say the right words But you're my little black diamond And always shining in my heart and that's way beyond words If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you You've been with me on the inside homie Puff life in me ever since I was a knee high, I knew I had heart Ain't gang related but you relative to blood AB negative you represent love Though you break like Pringles, you're heroic in your size You make David beat Goliath, you heart beaker Broads love you on Valentines day Quaker brought beats to my chest before hip hop Just take some time to remember If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you I need you
