Got u where i want u
Motherfucker
I got 5ive up on your dime
And if u wanna peep on something
Peep what i got stuck between
Your eyes
And since i don't believe
A word u say
Save it for another, baby brother
Swallow time 2 pay
Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
2 touch the light
But wait 'till i get done
With u
If u tell me
"don't get mixed up with the devil"
That's exactly
What i'm gonna do
Caught u while u waited
For your boy 2 come
And fix u up again
Come a little closer, baby
I only wanna try 2
Be your friend
Since i ain't got nothing
Left 2 lose
Got u where i want u
Motherfucker
Don't u try 2 move
Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have 2 climb
2 touch the light
Won't u take me up there
With u? u said u would
No one ever could shake
That ladder like i could
So i wait
