'70's/'80's
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
The souls escaping, through this hole that its gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin', but super stardom's close to post mortar
You could thank me now, uh, go 'head
Thank me later, yeah I know what I said (what I said)
But later doesn't always come so instead (so instead)
It's okay, you could thank me now, uh, yeah
I wasn't even goin' out tonight
But, boy, I need to get you off of my mind
I know exactly what I have to do
I don't wanna be alone tonight, alone tonight, alone tonight
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
This is how we do it
It's Friday night, and I feel alright
The party is here on the West side
So I reach for my 40 and I turn it up
They always claim they know me
Comin' to me, callin' me Stacy
I'm the F to the E, R, G the I the E
And can't no other lady put it down like me
My, heart, stops, when you look at me Just, one, touch, now baby I believe
This, is, real, so take a chance
And don't ever look back. Don't ever look back
My intuition never lies
There's nothing you can ever hide
Already got the screenshots
So there is no need to deny
Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
Only thing that keeps me up when I'm feelin' down
I don't know about you, but I gotta keep mines around 'cause
I done looked out and searched, and it's hard to find another shorty like mine
Baby, yes, I'm addicted to how we kick it, everything you say to me
And I know this much is true
Baby, you have become my addiction
I'm so strung out on you
I can barely move, but I like it
Disrespect us no they won't. Boy don't even try to touch this, boy this beat is crazy
This is how they made me. Houston Texas baby This goes out to all my girls
I'm a sucker for you
You say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly
I'm a sucker for you, yeah
Any road you take, you know that you'll find me
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
Say she's three months pregnant and she's keepin' it
The first thing that came to mind was you
Second thing was how do I know if it's mine and is it true
Third thing was me wishin' that I never did what I did
I'll probably take whatever's left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
Eating good sleeping soundly
Hunnid bands in my pocket, it's on me
Hunnid deep when I roll like the army
Get more bottles, these bottles are lonely
It's a moment when I show up, got 'em sayin', "Wow"
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold (so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Your true beauty's description
Looks so good that it hurts
You're a dime plus ninety-nine
And it's a shame don't even know what you're worth
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed and it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know exactly where I stand This world is forcing me to hold your hand
Oh, I remember you drivin' to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Can I tell you something just between you and me?
When I hear your voice, I know I'm finally free
Every single word is perfect as it can be
And I need you here with me
