Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's four o'clock in the morning
And she ain't feelin' right
I'm on a first class trip
Through this place called life
I don't know what to do
'Cause my body's still shakin'
I know it's time to man up
And start my education
[Verse 2]
I need someone to call on
So I called on my best friend
I said, "Bro, I can't take it"
He said, "Boy, stop trippin'"
So I hung up the phone
Packed my shit and got right
I know what I gotta do now
Be a man and face life
[Verse 3]
Baby, we can work it out
'Cause you know I can't live without you
And every time I think about it
I know a **** can't live without you
Ain't no need to cry about it
'Cause you know I can't live without you
I even wrote a song about it
'Cause you know I can't live without you
[Verse 4]
At the beginning, you was gone
I was stayin' with my momma
Now I stayed gettin' in trouble, man
Straight, damn drama
I started dancin' so I stay out of trouble
'Cause I stayed in school, selling candy so my money doubled
But then you told me man, dancing was for punks
Then you told me come and stay
You ain't care what I want
You told me come and dance and rap with my brothers (For sure)
You taught me how to love and how to care for my brothers
(I love you boys) And then you taught me all your hustlin' skills
Just in case I get alone I know how to pay bills (We here you now)
You told me I was straight regardless of a deal
And I love you man for that
'Cause you always kept it real
[Verse 5]
Maybe we could work it out
'Cause you know I can't live without you
And every time I think about it
I know a **** can't live without you
Ain't no need to cry about it
'Cause you know I can't live without you
I even wrote a song about it
'Cause you know I can't live without you
[Verse 6]
Now that I made it, it feel real good
Take you out the hood
Put you on billion of block in the middle of the woods
And it hard as it seem, you was there for me
One bedroom apartment
On six-oh and fourteen, no more efficiencies down in Coverly
Told you I had a dream and even though I like to cheat
I'm gonna love my Georgia peach and that's a promise I'm gon' keep
To the end, never gon' bend, I can hear you tell your friends
And I can see you wanna bus, not fussin' with your brand new Benz
To the world, baby it's yours
I give you the world, 'cause you not no ordinary girl
I'm your son, you my old girl
My momma, we shared for nineteen years
And from the bottom of my foundation
I'm tellin' you how I feel and I love you
[Verse 7]
Maybe we could work it out
'Cause you know I can't live without you
And every time I think about it
I know a **** can't live without you
Ain't no need to cry about it
'Cause you know I can't live without you
I even wrote a song about it
'Cause you know I can't live without you
[Verse 8]
See, I fell in love with you (With you)
Wanna raise my kids with you (Kids with you)
But you left me all alone
With tears drippin' down the picture
I remember the day like yesterday
May 9th, to be exact
I do anything to get you back
Even though I know you ain't comin' back
I'm serious as a heart attack
Could we get it back to the way it was?
I know you had some outside
Influences that pulled the plug
And the reality, Junebug
Girl, I know we'll always be together
I got you locked away deep in my heart
Always and forever
[Verse 9]
Maybe we could work it out
'Cause you know I can't live without you
And every time I think about it
I know a **** can't live without you
Ain't no need to cry about it
'Cause you know I can't live without you
I even wrote a song about it
'Cause you know I can't live without you
