lawand/mercedes
Since youand've been away iand've been down and lonely
Since youand've been away iand've been thinkng of you
Trying to understand the reason you left me
What were you going thru?
Iand'm missing you (gangstas need love too)
Tell me where the road turns (echoed)
Verse 1 - master p -
Uhhhh, i got you livinand' in mansions
Jumpinand' out of benzes (honk, honk)
Dkny clothes but get fake presidentand's rolex watches
You used to wear swatches
Done took you out the ghetto, now your name is miss versace
Alligator purses, möet with your reeses, hershey
Miss rev-e-lon when yoand' lips anand' hair anand' toes on tuesdays and
Thursdays
Even though iand'm livinand' wrong, tryinand' to get my hustle on
I want you in your birthday suit when i make it home
So i can uhhhh then squeeze yaand', tease yaand'
You wanna rub me? let the ice cream man please you
I ainand't got no nine to five
Hustle just to stay alive
Keep you on your game
Give you a pistol with your cute .45
Heiffers decieve ya, cuz they wanna be ya
Tell you iand'm a thug and they canand't wait till i leave yaand'
So think about what i say and fuck what them hoes say
Chorus -lawand and mercedes-
Iand'm missinand' you
Tell me where the road turns (echoed)
-verse 2 - master p-
You was a high school queen
Met me sellinand' ice cream on the corner went double-up servinand' fiend
Even though iand'm a thug, ya love me
If sex was a game, weand'd a play rugby
I got you flyinand' first classes on planes
Jumpinand' offaand' trains
Takinand' cruises on boats, sippinand' champagne
Rollinand' out the red carpet when they see ya $10,000 mink coat
Thatand's why them hoes wanna be ya, but they canand't
Taking trips in land cruisers
Droppinand' off cash to the bank
But they donand't know what you just seen
The shit i done put you thru
The penitentiary tension you done take for yaand' boo
The fedand's harass you
The lies you dont told for me
And when i went to jail you found a way to visit me
Runninand' up ya phone bill
Sometimes the kids didnand't even have a decent meal
It ainand't no limit to this ghetto love
Even though i mightaand' slanginand' drugs
You still showed me love
Thatand's why iand'm here for yaand', boo
But just remember (uuuhh) that gangstas need love too
Chorus
Verse 3 - the shocker
I got a down girl believe and wonder why and i wonder what she see in
Me
And man i canand't lie
Cuz iand'll be hustlinand' , hanginand' wit my homies all night chand'all
Iand'll be hustlinand' from the morning to the night fall, aight chand'all?
Itand's kinda hard tryinand' to stay clean
Tyrinand' to chase dreams
Tryinand' to make it happen
But this rappinand' ainand't what it seems
Know what i mean?
Now thru thick things yaand' stood beside me
When i was on the run, you hide me on the real
Tryinand' to make a mil but on the real
Thatand's the type of love money canand't buy
I need someone who could be trusted
Take this hundred gand's in case a nigga like me get busted
Yaand' blame it on my mob lifestyle
My thuggish-ruggish friends
Yaand' keep tellinand' me
My foul lifestyle gonna have to come to an end
Yaand' gottaand' realize i ainand't tryinand' to be no broke fart
Iand'm takinand' the chances now
Cuz itand's gonna be hard for our future sons and daughters
Iand'm tryinand' to take trips to reno
Cash chips like casinos
Live life as a high roller
Silkk the shocker make moves like valentino
I only got one chance, so i got to take it
If you could just be patient
Diamonds inside a 20 just for waitinand'
Yoand' mom think iand'ma thug she donand't like it
But you still sneak out and see me
Yaand' friends think iand'm a ghetto thug
But this is ghetto love that they canand't see, g
I know when it rains it pours and one day it gotta stop
And when it do iand'ma be sittinand' on top
And gonna be sippinand' champagne on yachts
Cars and tennis bracelets just a thang (meanwhile)
Iand'll be home tonight
So keep it tight for this gangsta
