[Intro - Joe Budden (talking) w/ sample playing in background] Uh Let the sample ride Dim the lights in this motherf**in booth Uh [Verse 1 - Joe Budden] If I had a choice, I rather my higher power decide to take me first (why?) I think the other way around would only make me worse Rarely was I ever trusted without the suspicions And very few could ever love me without some conditions (hey!) Those the ones I care to treasure, ones I wouldn't dare sever A bunch of my peers efforts been fair weather (if the) If the deaf got great vision and a blind man could hear better Figured since I lost all my senses that I would fair better I'm not the social type, nothin about him socialite Designed the prototype, how to unlove overnight Flip side, I die for my n***az, put it the simplest You give me your all and I'm a send it back with interest This for my n***az that'll help me before I suggest it I'm just tryin to send the flowers before you congested The man in fact that I've become y'all had a hand in that And I'll give y'all the world but I'm sure that y'all would hand it back [Chorus - MeLa Machinko - w/ ad libs] We will never be apart It's like two bodies, livin with one heart Together like a lock and key Without you, there is no me Things will never be the same If you ain't here with me, I couldn't see Livin another day Wherever you go You know that I'm goin with you (with you) With you (with you), with you You know that I'm goin with you (with you) With you (with you), with you (with you) [Verse 2 - Joe Budden] I mean, ..she was on the phone tryin to sound relaxed (what?) But the words comin out her mouth ain't have the sound to match (nah) Voice tremblin as if you were barely holdin on Meanwhile tryin to be strong to protect your second born sh** was scary to me If somethin happened to you, it'll happen to us, like I'm livin vicariously I seen your life flash, right past, my reaction buried deep inside If you go, they'll have to bury me alive How would I survive? f** 'em mom you meant more Life coach and mentor, just a grim thought makes my skin crawl Single mother, held it down when my pop was locked away Cried every time I gave my mom a gift on Father's Day (talk to 'em) But I'll be there for you, like you was there for yours As she was layin, decayin, all her days spent prayin (uh) Gospel music playin (uh) A few days from d**h but always felt us on our way in, we was like her safe haven (ah!) You always thought you were her least favorite child Only sibling that showed up to at least make her smile At least make her proud, not an obstacle that's too hard True stars strive to be half of the person you are Ain't never neglect, so I'll forever respect I more than owe my life to you, I'm forever in debt, check I mean my mother got cancer in her neck But I'll be right behind you every step, what the f** did you expect? [Chorus - w/ ad libs] [Verse 3 - Joe Budden] I'm like, damn, how you always know better than me? Amazes me when you show me what I never could see So the break up never really was a plan to me In retrospect, I think I was complacent with insanity We were so exhausted, bored with, tortured But since I couldn't picture my life without you, I fought it (like what?) Like we could get through anything, it's too much pride in us Better off without each other, I'd have been deprivin us At times you see people in ways you shouldn't portray 'em 'Cause they ain't livin up to a title you shouldn't of gave 'em Head shot, pointblank range, committed murder Honestly thought I couldn't move on, then went further Used to want to see you suffer for that pain you caused Now when I see you gain, I applaud What I'm tryin to say is (what?), don't complain about your path and where it took you 'Cause you might end up with somebody to sing this hook to [Chorus - w/ sample playing until the end]
