Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're all I need
To get by, ah
You're all I need
To get by, ah
[Verse 2]
Shorty, I'm here for you any time you need me
For real, girl, it's me in your world, believe me
Nothin' make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown that be down for whatever
There are few things that's forever, my lady
We can make war or make babies
Back when I was nothin'
You made a brother feel like he was something
That's why I'm with you to this day, boo, no frontin'
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub my on my back and say, "Baby, it'll be okay"
Now, that's real to a brother like me, baby
Never ever give my cootie away, and keep it tight, aight?
And I'ma walk these dogs so we can live
In a fat-ass crib with thousands of kids
Word life, you don't need a ring to be my wife
Just be there for me and I'ma make sure we
Be livin' in the F'in lap of luxury
I'm realizin' that you didn't have to funk with me
But you did, now I'm goin' all out kid
And I got mad love to give, you my ****
[Verse 3]
You're all I need
To get by, ah
You're all I need
To get by, ah
[Verse 4]
Like sweet mornin' dew, I took one look at you
And it was plain to see, you are my destiny
With you, I'll spend my time, I'll dedicate my life
I'll sacrifice for you, dedicate my life for you
[Verse 5]
I got a Love Jones for your body and your skin tone
Five minutes alone, I'm already on the bone
Plus, I love the fact you got a mind of your own
No need to shop around, you got the good stuff at home
Even if I'm locked up north, you in the world
Rockin' three-fourths of cloth never showin' your stuff off, boo
It be true, me for you, that's how it is
I be your Noah, you be my Wiz
I'm your mister, you my missus, with hugs and kisses
Valentine cards and birthday wishes? Please
Be on another level of planning of understanding
The bond between man and woman and child
The highest elevation 'cause we above
All that romance crap, just show your love
[Verse 6]
I'm sick of police
[Verse 7]
You're all I need
To get by, ah
You're all I need
To get by, ah
[Verse 8]
Cheeba, cheeba, y'all, and you don't stop
Yeah, yeah, cootie in the chair, Tical
Cheeba, cheeba, y'all, and you don't stop
Yeah, yeah, cootie in the chair, Tical
Mary J., ya'll, and Meth-Tical
Yeah, yeah, cootie in the chair, Tical
[Verse 9]
Like sweet mornin' dew, I took one look at you
And it was plain to see, you are my destiny, baby
[Verse 10]
You're all I need
To get by, ah
You're all I need
To get by, ah...
