[English]

Do you think I'll ever need your love, more than you need me?

Show me your true colors girl, I just want to see

'Cause I done had too many come around and change on me

She screamin' please don't waste my time

I say I totally agree

See girl I'm fine with that

I done gave my watches away, ain't got no time for that

Askin' where's my heart, good luck findin' that

How long could I see her round still think I'm timin' that

Think I'm still timin' that

Pretty teeth with a nice demeanor

I'm in a rush, it was nice to meet ya

Collard shirt, no elongated T's, cheaper to be yourself

Ain't no wrong way to be, accomplished a lot

Came from the block, ambitious in the trenches

I got a long way to reach

Sorry if I was offensive, but not at all

You got to pardon me at times, okay problem solved

When I hear the word can't take it like a challenge

I don't understand why the hell I can't have it

Help me understand why the hell I can't have it

I was blessed with a swag and I ain't braggin'

Insecurities get covered with designer fashion

If I'm not intimidatin' tell me why you're bashful

If you not feelin' what I'm sayin', sorry for the hassle

But if you leavin' here with me it'll be fantastic

Do you think I'll ever need you love, more than you need me?

Show me your true colors girl, I just want to see

'Cause I done had too many come around and change on me

She screamin' please don't waste my time

I say I totally agree

See girl I'm fine with that

I done gave my watches away, ain't got no time for that

Askin' where's my heart, good luck findin' that

How long could I see her round think I'm still timin' that

Think I'm still timin' that

Ain't no relaxin', they pillow fightin' on the sofa

Not at all my main focus though I was hopin'

Pull your hair, kiss it soft while you bendin' over

After that we could shower then I could hold ya

Havin' deep conversation and now you open

Pretendin' that I was asleep while you on the phone

Listen to you tell your girlfriend how I stroke it

Only that it was a fu' I already know it, mind blowin'

Phone rang bout to go, is you rollin'

Playin' poker no cards, throwin' hands exposin'

Rest in peace Soulja Slim, slow motion

Kicked out of everywhere, expulsion

Do you think I'll ever need you love, more than you need me?

Show me your true colors girl, I just want to see

'Cause I done had too many come around and change on me

She screamin' please don't waste my time

I say I totally agree

See girl I'm fine with that

I done gave my watches away, ain't got no time for that

Askin' where's my heart, good luck findin' that

How long could I see her round think I'm still timin' that

Think I'm still timin' that
