Shawty I'll be there, anytime you need me 00:26
To me your the most beautiful girl, easy 00:29
Nothin' feels better then the love that you supplyin' 00:32
Can't make a better ticket that's me and weird science 00:35
She love me even though I'm fat, I rans the track 00:37
My pants are saggin', you see my crack 00:40
Now that's Joey from da block, the only one I got 00:42
Sing on the more or less you hold the number one spot 00:45
Even when I'm down you make me feel on top 00:48
That's why the car got the bowtie, house got the yacht 00:51
When I cheated you was loyal stood by my side 00:53
That's why I went from three to one, like I made five 00:56
We all need one 00:59
We all need somebody to hold us down 01:01
We all need somebody to ride or die 01:03
We all, we all need, we all need one 01:06
Somebody that's gonna keep it real with you 01:10
Put up with your shit and deal with you 01:14
We all, we all need, we all need one 01:17
One, not two or three 01:21
01:25
Spend the rest of our lives what's it gon' be? 01:34
I remember when you first moved in with me 01:37
And your moms and your pops didn't even wanna see 01:39
I told you it'll be okay 01:42
Put my life on the line on the grind hit the streets all day 01:44
You've seen that, and the deeds with chase 01:47
Hoppin' over them gates, I could see your face 01:50
More reason to get away the set 01:53
Get runnin', tucked my kids to sleep, tell 'em daddy's coming 01:55
And I wanna get you outta them jects 01:58
Nothin' but the best baby girl and that's just outta respect 02:01
We all need one 02:04
We all need somebody to hold us down 02:06
We all need somebody to ride or die 02:09

I mean ya'll holla when she walked in the block 02:31
But she only love me man you ain't gotta shot 02:34
And there's nothing like the love we share 02:36
Even when your gone baby girl it's like your still right here 02:39

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Shawty I'll be there, anytime you need me
To me your the most beautiful girl, easy
Nothin' feels better then the love that you supplyin'
Can't make a better ticket that's me and weird science
She love me even though I'm fat, I rans the track
My pants are saggin', you see my crack
Now that's Joey from da block, the only one I got
Sing on the more or less you hold the number one spot
Even when I'm down you make me feel on top
That's why the car got the bowtie, house got the yacht
When I cheated you was loyal stood by my side
That's why I went from three to one, like I made five
We all need one
We all need somebody to hold us down
We all need somebody to ride or die
We all, we all need, we all need one
Somebody that's gonna keep it real with you
Put up with your shit and deal with you
We all, we all need, we all need one
One, not two or three

Spend the rest of our lives what's it gon' be?
I remember when you first moved in with me
And your moms and your pops didn't even wanna see
I told you it'll be okay
Put my life on the line on the grind hit the streets all day
You've seen that, and the deeds with chase
Hoppin' over them gates, I could see your face
More reason to get away the set
Get runnin', tucked my kids to sleep, tell 'em daddy's coming
And I wanna get you outta them jects
Nothin' but the best baby girl and that's just outta respect
We all need one
We all need somebody to hold us down
We all need somebody to ride or die
We all, we all need, we all need one
Somebody that's gonna keep it real with you
Put up with your shit and deal with you
We all, we all need, we all need one
Ain't no shawty like the one I got
Take the work from your crib all day in the spot
I mean ya'll holla when she walked in the block
But she only love me man you ain't gotta shot
And there's nothing like the love we share
Even when your gone baby girl it's like your still right here
One sun, one moon, your my one boo
I could count on you, you always come through
We all need one
We all need somebody to hold us down
We all need somebody to ride or die
We all, we all need, we all need one
Somebody that's gonna keep it real with you
Put up wit your shit and deal wit you
We all, we all need, we all need one
One
Everybody wish they got that ride or die
That one and only seeing them all less
You feel me, no paper, locked down
She gonna hold you down, that's why we need that one
