Mmmmh diamond
Ohh diamond (diamond)

Diamond in da ruff
someone that you don't meet twice

We left the Brickz for the 'Burbs
turned Mo into Remy
matching fur coats and Fendi
from the bus to a Bentley coupe
with a closet full of shoes yeah

Than our smiles turned to frowns
ups turned to downs
I don't know where i'm going now
I think about her every once in awhile

We started out like Bobby and Whitney
Justin and Britney
Then it all got ugly
if it weren't for the money
you said i start actin' funny
but what's wrong witcha honey

then the good turned to bad
forgot what we had
is it to late to get it back?
I think about her
more than once in awhile

Like when i spot a rainbow
or see a fallin' star
a set of twins, or a classic car
a four leaf clover, or a two dollar bill
it's so rare that it's so unreal

And I don't know how to get over her smile
I wonder what she's doin (what's goin on)?
I think about her every once in awhile (once in awhile)

I should've came with a ring
set a date for next May
guess i thought that you'd wait
now I hate that I took so long
played around wit' her now she's gone

now my smiles turned to frowns, ups turned to downs
and i don't know where i'm goin (now now now now)
I think about her every once in awhile

We argued like Archie and Edith
like Ike turned on Tina
but I really didn't mean it
I was raised not to hit a woman
especially not the one i'm lovin'

but when the good turned to bad
happy to sad
I wish we could take it back/(How I miss you baby
I think about her every once in awhile

Like when I spot a rainbow
or see a fallin star
a set of twins, or a classic car
a four leaf clover or a two dollar bill
it's so rare that it's so unreal

I don't know how
to get over her smile
I wonder what she's doin now
I think about her every once in awhile

Your like a star
shinning in the broad daylight
Something you don't see all the time
and now I finally recognize
that I shoulda made you all mine
never shoulda let you pass me by
you put that sparkle in my life
someone that you don't meet twice
i'm gonna live to regret it baby
ooooh
baby, baby
I miss you...need you...yeahhh

Young cat got back did a little dig,
kind of hearty but he tough, dorag and timbs,
kind of hard to get a job,
back out on the block charge that to the game

Young girl she grew up in a rush had it bad, no doubt,
she don't know who to trust every man
she ever loved only wanna touch charge that to the game

[Bridge:]
but its all gravy, baby
shots get popped, the cops shut down the party jeans sag low,
blow smoke out of dutches,
we got love for ya'll but ya'll don't know us

[Chorus:]
Now we swerve in the suburban and switchin lanes
spend up all our dough on them chrome and thangs,
name our kids some funny names,
Don't hate on us were fabulous

We pay cellulars for local calls
hatin kinds of demons up at the malls rockin cornrolls and twist,
thats how we roll don't hate on us were fabulous

[Verse 2:]
They met he said how she was a dime,
so naive that she beleived every single lie,
17 first time slipped up bout to have a child charge that to the game

was just us and mom, single family home,
she did the best she could, did it all alone,
met a man but he won't raise a child that's not his own
Oh, no,
Oh, no, no

[Bridge:]
but its all gravy, baby
shots get popped, the cops shut down the party jeans sag low,
blow smoke out of dutches, we got
love for ya'll but ya'll don't know us

[Chorus:]
Now we swerve in the suburban and switchin lanes
spend up all our dough on them chrome and thangs,
name our kids some funny names,
Don't hate on us were fabulous

We pay cellulars for local calls
hatin kinds of demons up at the malls rockin cornrolls and twist,
thats how we roll don't hate on us were fabulous

With all that we've got
and no matter whatever together what weather the storm
and meanwhile with all we got it might get rough but it's alright
'cause U-N-I-T-Y is all we need to get our R-E-S-P-E-C-T
and never G-I-V-E U-P

Oooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... (Yeah)
If they gleam in the sun
while they spin and they fit on my truck then {I could remember}
And if it came in the sack
No stems no seeds in the bag girl {I could remember}

And if they drip from my wrist and they look like they shine like new then
{I could remember}
But Ohhh girl
I forgot to be your lover

If it wasn't for the 9 to 5
Double-up overtime then {I could remember}
If it wasn't for the Sunday all star
weekend games girl {I could remember}

And if it wasn't for the dough
Gettin fifty g's a show girl ya know that {I could remember}
But silly me, silly me
Ohhh
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover

Now I realize that you need love too (Oh, yeah)
Spend my life makin' love to you
Oh, girl
Oh, I forgot to be your lover

When she starts bringin' up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (Oh, brother)
Findin' numbers in her purse
Better put that woman first (Yeah)

And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Oh, no)
When she starts playin' little games
Comin' in late from work
You better put that woman first

If it wasn't for the make up on my shirt
Still I'd be chasin' skirts then {I could remember}
And if it wasn't for that fight last night
You smashin out my headlights then {I could remember}

If it wasn't for parole
Steady duckin' my P O girl you know {I could remember}
But silly me, silly me, babe
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover

Now I realize that you need love too
Spend my life makin' love to you
Oh, girl
Oh, I forgot to be your lover

When she starts bringin' up old dirt (Bringin' up old shhhh)
And the fights keep getting worse
(Oh...oh...oh...oh...)
Findin' numbers in her purse (I'm tellin' you, brother)
Better put that woman first (You better put your woman first)

And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Oh, yeah)
When she starts playin' little games (I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm tellin' you, brother)
Comin' in late from work
You better put that woman first (Put that woman first)

{So many times} Actin like it wasn't really nothin'
{So many ways} Kept to myself, always runnin'
{So many games} All that I sin
{So many words} I need you to stay
{Always came first} Even though sometimes fallin'
second
{Came down to love} You know I had to win the last race
{Spend some time} Put in some work
{And for better or worse} Always put that woman first

When she starts bringin' up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (Gettin' worse)
Findin' numbers in her purse (In her purse)
Better put that woman first (Put that woman first)

And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Ooh, yeah)
When she starts playin' little games (Her little games)
Comin' in late from work (I'mma say it again)
You better put that woman first (Put that woman, put that woman first)

When she starts bringin' up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (She's gonna leave you)
Findin' numbers in her purse
Better put that woman first (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And you know she ain't wearin' her ring (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
When she starts playin' little games (Yeah, yeah)
Comin' in late from work
You better put that woman first

(feat. Mary J. Blige)

[Mary J. Blige:]
So burgundy, the window to his soul
It seems he tapes his eyes closed,
From huffin on, that's what he's puffin on.
His style is rough, he wears his hair in cornrolls,
His jeans hang loose and low
So his di..opps he cain't be comfortable I mean, he's gotta be comfortable.

[Jaheim:]
Now she's the type that's compared to a rose that grew from the concrete,
So sweet ya know,
From the streets yo.
Now she's the opposite of he,
Have you ever seen a lion sleep on the bossom of a sheep?
It's beautiful.
Yeah thug though.

[Both: (chorus)]
She's so beautiful and he's a thug,
They're so different yet they're in love.
He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful,
They're so perfect cause they're in love.

[Mary J. Blige:]
Picture this, his warm velvet voice on a cold winters night,
Sugar free, bitter truth.
Building life from a slang so divine.
Soul to soul, their flesh pressed,
From a firm of onyx tenderness.
He signed his name with a venom kiss,
Upon a heart, I never heard of such bliss.

[Jaheim:]
Now she's the opposite of he,
Such as a butterfly and he's a killer bee.
Yeah, she becomes a victim to his sting,
And he's amazed by the colors of her wings.
And the life he's led has left him with some scars,
But, she viewed them all as mid-beauty marks.
The moral of the story, plain as can be,
He loved her cause, He is me.

[Chorus: x2]

Da Da-da-da da da da-da-da da

She's beautiful and he's a thug,
Made for each other 'cause they're in love.
She's a petal and he's a thorn,
From a different type of story since they were born.

[Chorus: x2]

[Verse 1]
Sitting here with carats in your ears, mink on your back, your bank account
stacked
You deserve everything you got cause you held me down when things got hot on
the block
Looking back I remember the days when shit got thick you were the first to say
"Baby keep your head up, it will be ok"
You're better off without that kind of bad ass nigga anyway

[Chorus:]
It's on tonight Cash up in the dash and I'm feelin right
Got heat up in the seat just in case of beef
for anyone who wanna come test me and my baby
Honey don't be afraid See this cat ridin in that Escalade
plotting on my riches yeah he will get slayed
Messin 'round with me and my lady, me and my bitch

[Verse 2]
You're a dream you're my ghetto queen If I ain't got nobody else I know I got
you on my team
So I knock, get the cake, cop the rocks, meet your pops then move your whole
Lyricsfamily off the block
Still niggas talking this and that Jah don't how to treat you don't know how to
act You're a good girl you deserve better than that when in fact accounts are
major got your name attached

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
It's on tonight do what you like
Whatever's wrong I'll make it right
Got your back count on that
Whatever you need I'm down for you cause
You're on my team you're my everything
Your doe gettin low girl I gots to pay
So tonight it's all on you so won't you let your
boy know what you trying to do

[Chorus]

Yeaah aw
Looking back at all I put you through
Too much of a thug nigga to tell you I love you
I know I made mistakes
Here hoping and prayin that it ain'too late
Thought I had my game tight
Thought I had it locked down, knowing shit wasn't right
Now you wanna blow
Before I let you go
Something you just gotta know

[Chorus]
Ain't nothing stopping me from getting backtight with you
Go head and trip you got the right to
If I gotta roll up my sleeves and fight for you
I'll stand outside in the rain all night for you

Ain't nothing stopping me from getting backtight with you
Go head and trip you got the right to
If I gotta roll up my sleeves and fight for you
I'll stand outside in the rain all night
Lyrics
Three months three weeks two days it's the same shit
Shorty she ain't haven't it
Back then I wasn't serious
Makin so much paper kept me curious
Chickens cluckin everywhere...I didn't care
Thinking to myself that you'd always be here
Instead of makin love to you lady
I would rather be out pushin my Mercedes

[Chorus 2X - Jaheim adlib]

If the sun was to fall and the stars was to lose their shine
I'd be content with it all as long as your by my side...girl
Through the good through the bad through it all gonna need your back
I'll always be with you just wanna please you

[Chorus 2X - Jaheim adlib]

[Jaheim]
Breakfast when you wake,
along with the candle on a cupcake that I baked,
catering you is much of my oblige,
instead of stress and mirage,
you're the beat to my heart,
here's a rose with no thorns on the stem, you're a gem,
you're the reason why I've, found 100 ways to,
adore you 3 times a day, morning noon and night,
it's for you

[Chorus]
Today's a special day for you,
these are a few, (these are a few, these are a few)
things I'd like to do for you,
today's a special day for you,
these are a few, (these are a few, these are a few)
things I'd like to share with you

[Jaheim]
I'm a fool for love today, honest I'll do,
anything you need me to, uh huh,
from sun rise to sun set on this ordinary day,
you can have it all your way,
that's my job, you're a heart throb,
love's the reason why I got it, set you before me,
so we can see what it's like, morning noon and night,
it's for you

[Chorus]
Today's a special day for you,
these are a few, (these are a few, these are a few)
things I'd like to do for you, (would you like that, yea)
today's a special day for you,
these are a few, (these are a few, these are a few)
things I'd like to share with you

[Jaheim]
It doesn't matter what the weather is, oh no
from this point on I'll share with you the break of spring,
an angel kissed the day we fell in love, oh
so to you, the sweetness of, oh dear my life, just in case, oh yea yea yea

[Chorus till fade]

[Jaheim] would you like that?
[Woman] yea that's cool
[Jaheim] what you wanna do babe?
[Jaheim] I don't know
[Jaheim] think about it
[Woman] I'm thinking
[Jaheim] think about it, oooh
[Woman] I'm thinking
[Jaheim] Ooooh, I'm a fool for love today,
honest I, honest I, honest I, honest I'll do,
anything you want me to, special day for you.

[Jaheim]
Yeah yeah yeah, oh, long as I live.

[Chorus]
Long as I live, handle my biz,
take care of our kids, cuz loving you is what it is, oh
long as I live, I vow to share with, you happiness and bliss,
cuz loving you is what it is

[Jaheim]
With this ring I thee wed, to share my life, to share my home, to share my heart and my bed,
to not make you weak but strengthen you instead,
till death do us part,
from this day forth for all time baby,
here on earth and where angels fly,
gonna love you so much till it makes you cry,
with every beat of my heart, oooh

[Chorus]
Long as I live, handle my biz, (I'm gonna handle my business)
take care of our kids, (Neicey, Julie, Lexis I love you) cuz loving you is what it is, oh
long as I live, I vow to share with, you happiness and bliss,
cuz loving you is what it is

[Jaheim]
Before our God, I take this vow, (take this vow)
with family gathered around it's official now,
so take my hand and lets take a bow,
and together we will win,
a commitment to make a sacrifice,
I gladly give it all up I've made my mind,
just for being my friend, being my wife,
I'd do it all again

[Hook]
Wont you trust me, I will show you,
the type of man Iwas raised to be if you just let me,
slide this ring up, up on your finger, (on your finger girl)
cop the crib help raise the kids, yes i'll deliver,
promise to never let you down, oh no,
I promise to always be right there, i'll be around

[Jaheim]
Just as long as you say the words:
Long as I live, I vow to share with, you happiness and bliss,
cuz loving you, loving you is what...

[Chorus (Repeat till end)]
Long as I live, I handle my biz, (I'm gonna handle my business)
take care of our kids, (Neicey, Julie, Lexis I love you) cuz loving you is what it is, oh
long as I live, I vow to share with, you happiness and bliss,
cuz loving you is what it is

Oh Oooooh
Mama used to say
get on your knees and pray
Mama used to say
that everything will be alright
[fade]
alright, alright, alright alright

Ummmm I hear you voice inside my head everywhere
Ooooo yeah clear as day inside my head everywhere

[Verse]
It's killing me softly with every heartbeat
thinking you can't see how your sons living
(Hey mama) Is there an address up in heaven
I feel dropping you this letter but it will be return to sender
How I wish I could bring you home flowers on tombstones
Lets me know it's been too long since I've been in whose arms
(Yours mama) It's getting colder every winter
I can't take the heat in summer, can't hardly deal with all this drama but

[Chorus 1:]
(Just when) I'm inches away from losing my mind
(That's when) I swear sometime
(I hear your voice inside my head) and it feels like you're
(Everywhere, everywhere I am)
(Just when) the walls are closing in on my world
(That's when) I see my favorite girl
(Clear as day inside my head) and it's obvious you're
(Everywhere, everywhere I am)

[Verse 2]
Was that you saying just keep on praying
You'll see the day when it will be worth the waiting
(Hey mama) I think I've received your message
Think how I'm receiving blessings Finally got the platinum record
Did you see me on soul train dedicated the whole thing
To your memory just hoping you're out there and knowing
(You're mama) You were floating onstage with me
Someone said they saw me glistening
Gotta let you know I'm listening to you

[Chorus 2]
(Just when) It's the most important time of my life
(That's when) That's when I swear sometimes
(I hear your voice inside my head) and it feels like you're
(Everywhere, everywhere I am)
(Just when) Just when the heavens open up on the world
(That's when) I see my favorite girl Julie
(Clear as day inside my head) It's so obvious you're
(Everywhere, everywhere I am)

[Bridge]
If God is in the spirit world talking to my heart
Then for an angel I know it can be hard
You are my guardian and I know you're still playing your part
(I know you are) Just on the other side but always in my life
No need to just believe I know you're here with me
I'm reaching out my hand and to the promise land
to feel your presence when I need strength

Everywhere I am, Everywhere I am
Everywhere I am Everywhere I am
Everywhere I am Everywhere I am
Everywhere I am

[repeat]

[Chorus 1]
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
You been looking real good lately
makin’ me feen I know we're friends but listen up
you can’t be coming around me in tight jeans
makin me weak I think you really trust me too much

You and me been cool
since back in middle school
Like when we used to clown
And run around
And act a fool

Now that were older I been noticing you bustin out those jeans
Never seen that coming up think you know what I mean
When other niggaz tried to holla had to let em know
Told em none of ya’ll ain’t good enough the truth be told
Cause when I first figure out what love was
I was a young blood
And you’ve always been that treasure
We’ve always been together

Your not that little girl I once knew anymore
I will see you fitting your clothes so well I can tell
Your not that girl from junior high school that’s for sure
Your changing the rules now that your fine as hell

[Chorus]

Now there you go again on my lap
Thinking that I’m in control and I wont react
When your form is grown so phat
Bout time you know for all that its worth
Your killing me softly in those product tops and mini skirts
Hots just puttin’ work all up in my face gurl what did you think
that I’d stop being a man when you came on the block
showin your promises
on the back of that bike
showin just what I like
And a woman if you get it you had it comin…gurl

Your not that little girl I once knew anymore
I will see you fitting your clothes so well I can tell
Your not that girl from junior high school that’s for sure
Your changing the rules now that your fine as hell

[Phone rings] What you want?
