You're my joy, happiness that you bring Turn the fall back to spring girl, you're my bling You a hip-hop song I heard for the first time time Studied all the words to the rhyme You're my life, without you there's no sun, there's no moon There's no stars, shinin in the ni-iight [Mary J. Blige] But if I give you a chance, would you show me you care Be a man, no matter what the circumstances AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOW~!

What about the baby~!) Everything gon' be alright Baby girl I'm by your side, I apologize! I cry, and I cry, I cry {*fades out*}
