Terrace Martin - Nikki lyrics

[Verse] I can feel you in my lungs, feel you in my veins Bloodstream only way to make it to my brain I tried some others but man they just not as good as you Going crazy cause I only feel this good with you Maybe I'm just not as strong as I once was When we're together lately I don't even feel a buzz I'm addicted to this sh** like it was hard d** Nikki baby I love you but now I gotta go Cause in the end what happens you already know Probably wonder where I been at, I been laying low But in my mind I'm wondering what I'm paying for All these other b**hes on my dick but I can't f** with that You're the only girl I need I gotta have you back Even though you turn my lungs black Tell me where you've been jack Uh, I know this shorty that go by the name of Mary I used to f** her way back when I didn't know a thing Skipping school with all my homies on some truancy But when I ended things with her it was just you and me Doing me good, that's what I thought at first Me and you together, swear to God that's all that worked Away from you though man it's just so hard to work Uh, my heart is hard at work We been together like ten years Goddamn, took me as young man Everyday I wonder who I am, who will I be, where will I go What will they write upon my grave? A free man born as a king, who died as a slave But everything he gave her was for nothing though Oh no I can't fade that sh** I gotta let you go You got me tripping like a flight to Vegas All this sh** you got me doing man it's outrageous All I know is I'm living the life I never would Finally let you go, I thought I never could Don't get me wrong, can't forget the times shared Seem like everywhere I go, I always know you're there Tried to run but my legs won't I look away but my head don't I love it when you're fresh I love it when I take your top off and we share the same breath I hate it that I need you, Nikki But I love it when I feed you, Nikki I hate that I bleed for you Uh, I long and I need for you But I love it when I taste you Nothing can replace you I wish I could erase you, you're everywhere I go But you're everywhere I long to be And all these other people that don't seem to understand I'm just a man they always ask what's wrong with me Man you're everything I crave You're the only thing I let in that would put me in the grave I'm a king, you're my Coretta But lately I been feeling like a slave for the nicotine [Break] Slave for the Said I'm a slave for the nicotine Been a slave for ya I'm a muthaf**in slave for ya Slave for the nicotine Nikki, Nikki slave for ya I'm a slave for ya Nikki I'm a muthaf**in slave for ya [Outro: Thalia] All handwriting on the album's artwork was done by Big Lenbo
