Ay-ay-ay-ay Oh-oh-woah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Baby, baby when you're lookin' deep in my eyes I know you're seein' past my make-up Into the little girl that used to hide out and cry When her parents fought, tryin' to be strong You can see the hurt in me The cover-ups so secretly And all that I aspire to be You see, you see You know who I really am Entourage or caravan And do you even give a damn About all that, now tell me Would you love me if I didn't work out, or I didn't change my natural hair? If I could be the one you want to grow older with, baby I'll give you all that I got So I don't mean to scare you now and push you away 'Cause I'm not tryin' to rush anything But when I look into your eyes, I'm not scared you'll say I see a little you, I'm in the picture too Like a happy family tree We're together constantly This could be eventually We'll see, we'll see But all that I have got to know Is with me baby, will you grow Through sun and rain and heavy snow Oh, tell me so now baby Would you love me if I didn't work out, or I didn't change my natural hair?

Yeah, yo All that I got is you And I'm so thankful I made it through All that I got is you And I'm so thankful I made it through All that I got is you And I'm so thankful I made it through All that I got is you And I'm so thankful I made it through Word up mommy, I love you Word up It was all you, word, you brought me in like this I sit and think about all the times we did without, yeah I always said I wouldn't cry when I saw tears in your eyes I understand that daddy's not here now But some way or somehow, I will always be around, yeah All things that I did from this to them Oh, from drugs to being there Being down and out and I love you always Yeah, you say you see the universe Which consists of the sun, moon and star And them planets, that exist in my space Like man woman and child, you understand? We got to keep it real, and what reality And reality will keep it real with us I remember them good ol' days Because see, that's the child I was What made me the man I am today See 'cause if you forget where you come from, heheh You're never gonna make it where you're goin', aheh Because you lost the reality of yourself So, take one stroll through your mind And see what you will find And you'll see a whole universe all over again And again and again and again and again Heheheh, yeah, heheheheh, aha, heheheh
