(Bone Thugs)

Can I get a little bit a ya T-I-M-E

(The lil homeboy Bow Wow)

Boy if ya wanna make it (MC)

Could ya gotta give a little bit a.

(What's your perspective?)

Monday we will not, (I'm outta love)

Tuesday you had time, (and macked it all)

We just break up again

You want me to let you back in

But tonight I'm like no

Ohh, uh uh uh ohh, my box has opened

My body has all said yes, I hate this mess

Boy you just ain't no good for me

This ain't no way real love should be.

Took you back once, took you back twice

Took you back, three, four, five times

They said these streets is over

Boy youve been close to lies

Took you back once, took you back twice

Took you back, three, four, five times

Cant see the light, but you, somebody help me!

Krayzie! give her a lil bit

Now you look from the jump

And a nigga was thugged out, but you bugged out, n start trippin

Flippin' on me all time. and its been like this all my life.no matter how I try

Guess it's the thug in me, got my mind on my money man

I'm spending my time on the grind tryna shine, I'm concentrating on running thangs

I've been tryna hold it down, and you steady tellin' me it's over now

She always talk loud, she always leave me but always come back around

That's just what we go through, and you know it's so true

Every time I slip up she behind me, gon' be right there to remind me

Tell me again (tell me again my baby)

That we'll be lovers and friends (ooh, I gotta know baby, ohh yeah)

Tell me again, (make sure you're right, ohh before we leave)

That we'll be lovers and friends, ohh, it's a good look baby

Uh yea, haha, just a lil bit, Layzie! give her a lil bit

Can we take a long walk on the beach, get away from the streets

Baby girl, me and you need to rendezvous

Cancun next week, how that sound to you?

I've been meaning to spend a little time witchu

I can tell you fed up from all of the promises I've been making lately

And I had to deliver but I been so caught in my hustle, tryna make this payment

And I shoulda considered your feelings

I shoulda been better about it

I shoulda been grown, not childish

I shoulda been way more polished

But my hustle done paid off, and I'm ready to spoil you.love

Come look, what cha boy gon do? (gone do), let me make this up to you (to you)

Tell me again (tell me again my baby)

That we'll be lovers and friends (ooh, I gotta know baby, ohh yeah)

Tell me again, (make sure you're right, ohh before we leave)

That we'll be lovers and friends, ohh, it's a good look baby

Uh, uh, Bow Wow! give her a lil bit

Weezy girl, I can't believe what you sayin'

You know you got it, should meet with my fans

But every time I get a break I'm layin

Where? in your arms all night and day playin'

You wont some time, I send you jacob, want sunshine then take a vacation

We ain't gon make it if you keep complainin, everybody go through changes

Love is a dangerous (thing)

(Why?) it's full of happy and sad faces

Break it up to make up later, talk it out so it ain't no anger

We need more communication, you should have some consideration

'Cause you knew from the day we met

What, what type of player you was dealing wit. haha

Tell me again (tell me again my baby)

That we'll be lovers and friends (ooh, I gotta know baby, ohh yeah)

Tell me again, (make sure you're right, ohh before we leave)

That we'll be lovers and friends, ohh, it's a good look baby

Uh huh, uh huh, wish! give her a lil bit

Everything I do, just for me and you, stack a little paper so its never rainy days

I got you, but just for me then you got to, understand that I hustle, hustle

Diamonds things, I gotta hustle, hustle, anything that brings the weight up

See a real thug too its in his nature, its in his nature

Not tryna say that you about that paper, but me and you, yes we like that paper

Overseas trips, diamonds on the wrists, you must admit, your boy gets that paper

I like bossin, girl, girl, but you beside me, slide wit me, slide wit me

Try and take it away thats when I ride and ride

Tell me again (tell me again my baby)

That we'll be lovers and friends (ooh, I gotta know baby, ohh yeah)

Tell me again, (make sure you're right, ohh before we leave)

That we'll be lovers and friends, ohh, it's a good look baby
