Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wassup, boo?
[Verse 2]
Another shady mission
Tricks, like watchin' pictures in hazy vision
Tonight is love makin', take you any place you wish
Today we satisfied, yesterday was stolen kisses
Blind insanity, perfect pictures of me and my family
Not understanding the destiny
That they planned for me
If I have kids, will I live to see them grow?
Though I don't know, I live the life of a thug
****, until the day I go
[Verse 3]
No more broken promises, a sacred bond broken
I know I die alone, but yet and still I'm hopin'
Visions of prisons, maybe I'll be forgiven
I know it's better in Heaven
'Cause bein' here ain't livin'
Close my eyes and see nothin' but pain
The world is crazy
Still lookin' for a queen to plant seeds and have babies
Maybe I'll be the one or just maybe I'm lost
You'll never know being cautious
If you playa cardz right
[Verse 4]
I wanna be the one who
Who you can depend on, who
Who be the one who be there
Through the thick and thin
Go by the water, we will
Be there till the morning
We won't leave until the night
And we will be forever more
[Verse 5]
No one else can do what you do for me
Take me away from the pain I feel inside
And it's gonna be alright and it'll be okay
If we try and take our time
Please, baby, take your time
And we'll grow, trust I know
I wanna be the one who
[Verse 6]
I wanna be the one who
Who you can depend on, who
Who be the one who be there
Through the thick and thin
Go by the water, we will
Be there till the morning
We won't leave until the night
And we will be forever more
[Verse 7]
You gots to playa cardz right, on one
Can't be rushin' like it's a race, know what I'm sayin'?
If you be patient and you take your time
And you finesse it, nine times out of ten
Homeboy, you gon' wake up
With your breakfast in bed
But if you rush and you just be manhandlin'
You ass goin' home tonight
Playa cardz right, ****, take your time
Be patient
Go slow, it's better that way, you ain't heard?
Playa cardz right
[Verse 8]
Ooh, yeah
Oh, no, no
Be patient, baby
Ten
Hey, it takes a real man
Hey
Be the one
Be the one, hey
Yeah
Yeah, be the one
I wanna be the one
[Verse 9]
I wanna be the one who
Who you can depend on, who
Who be the one who be there
Through the thick and thin
Go by the water, we will
Be there till the morning
We won't leave until the night
And we will be forever more
[Verse 10]
Take your time, man
Don't be in such a rush
You got to be patient, man, be patient
It ain't goin' nowhere, one
Get some champagne
Bring some roses or somethin'
You know, play some soft shit, light a fire
You got to be cool with it
You got to be slow with it
You got to be patient
You gots to playa cardz right, on one
Can't be rushin' like it's a race, know what I'm sayin'?
If you be patient and you take your time
And you finesse it
[Verse 11]
Take your time
In a rush
Be forever more
Nowhere
Be forever
Luther Vandross
Teddy, Teddy
Ooh, be so
