Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wassup, boo? Yeah
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Another shady mission
Tricks, like watching pictures in hazy vision
Tonight is lovemaking, take you any place you wish
Today we're satisfied, yesterday we've stolen kisses
Blind insanity, perfect pictures of me and my family
Not understanding the destiny, had 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
No 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 being here ain't livin'
Close my eyes and see nothing but pain, the world is crazy
Still, looking 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 play your cards right
[Verse 3]
I wanna be the one who
Who you can depend on who (Play your cards right)
Who be the one who be there (Take your time)
Through the thick and thin (Be patient)
Go by the water we will (Don't rush)
Be there 'til the morning
We won't leave until the night (It's going down)
And we will be forever more
[Verse 4]
No one else can do what you do for me
Take me away from the pain I feel inside (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 5]
I wanna be the one who
Who you can depend on who (Play your cards right)
Who be the one who be there (Who be the one)
Through the thick and thin
Go by the water we will
Be there 'til the morning (We'll be there)
We won't leave until the night
And we will be forever more (Come on, eh, forever)
[Verse 6]
You got to play your cards right on one (Ooh, yeah)
Can't be rushing like it's a race, know what I'm sayin'? (No, no, no)
If you be patient, and you take your time (Be patient, baby)
And you finesse it
9 times out of 10 times, homeboy, you gon' wake up with your breakfast in bed
But if you rush and you just be manhandlin'
It takes a real man
Your *** is going home tonight
Play your cards right, ni***, take your time (Yeah, be the one)
Be patient
Go slow, it's better that way, you ain't heard? (Yeah)
Play your cards right (Be the one, I wanna be the one)
[Verse 7]
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 'til the morning
We won't leave until the night
And we will be forever more
[Verse 8]
Take your time, man (Take your time)
Don't be in such a rush (In a rush)
You got to be patient, man, be patient (Ooh, be so)
It ain't going nowhere one (Nowhere)
Get some champagne (Haha, be forever more)
Bring some roses or somethin', you know
Play some soft sh**, light a fire (Luther Vandross)
You got to be cool with it (Teddy, Teddy)
You got to be slow with it (Ooh, be so)
You got to be patient, you got to play your cards right on one
Can't be rushing like it's a race, know what I'm saying?
If you be patient, and you take you time and you finesse it (Forever)
[Verse 9]
Yeah
I tell 'em to take it slow
Everybody's moving so fast these days
Shoulda listened to every word you said
They gon' love you 'cause you're beautiful but it's another reason why they wanna hurt you
But you know
Rest in peace, bruh
