Jerreau - Love For You lyrics

[Verse 1: Jerreau] Yeah, T.G.T.C Hank Gathers, Len Bias Trying to make it in this game, n***as die trying Giving up takes more effort than trying Aaliyah told me "brush ya self off, then try again" So I did, this is the life that we live What you expect? No wife, no kids And I remember everything that we did So 12 AM we gon' do it again I need everything I ever wanted right now Tomorrow ain't promised girl, we gotta do it now I wanna see the moon before the sun goes down A note to self; don't let me down Uh, I never wear my heart on my sleeve Even when Comme des Garçons on me Some girls like my cologne, it's all on me I boost they self esteem, it's all on me But you can't slay em all, can't win em all Even the Bulls lost 10 games, that '96 squad It's open gym, man, they trying to get chose I play a good pick up game, I had her at, "Hello" [Chorus] 2x They only love you when you got something for em I got nothing but love for em You know, it's only right that I show off for em Pull of in something foreign [Verse 2: Jerreau] My city's like villains gone bad, and it's gettin worse How you cope with the pain when it hurts? Do you drink to forget? do you smoke when you depressed? I face it like make up Where I'm from, I never seen wealth close up Now I got friends that drive hoopties and Porsche trucks But I'm far in between, my pops expects more of me, morally He asks why I don't come to church? "I went out last night, don't stone me" He ain't perfect and he don't expect me to be The prodigal son will return, have faith in me Until then, where the women and the Hennessy? Cause I don't want to be a hypocrite And I don't wanna tell folks how to live If that ain't me, who are you? And when it hits the fan, I'm too cool I never argue with fools Don't bite the hand that feeds you, even your own How could you live in a house that's not a home? And I act like I been in the end zone So when life gives you lemons, tell her to add Patron [Chorus] 2x
