[Verse 1 - Fat Joe]
Shawty I'll be there, anytime you need me
To me your the most beautiful girl, easy
Nothin' feels better then the love that you supplyin'
Can't make a better ticket that's me and weird science
She love me even though I'm fat, I rans the track
My pants are saggin', you see my crack
Now that's Joey from da block, the only one I got
Sing on the more or less you hold the number one spot
Even when I'm down you make me feel on top
That's why the car got the bowtie, house got the yacht
When I cheated you was loyal stood by my side
That's why I went from three to one, like I made five
[Chorus - Akon]
We all need one
We all need somebody to hold us down
We all need somebody to ride or die
We all, we all need, we all need one
Somebody that's gonna keep it real with you
Put up with your shit and deal with you
We all, we all need, we all need one
[Verse 2 - Fat Joe]
One, not two or three
Spend the rest of our lives what's it gon' be?
I remember when you first moved in with me
And your moms and your pops didn't even wanna see
I told you it'll be okay
Put my life on the line on the grind hit the streets all day
You've seen that, and the deeds with chase
Hoppin' over them gates, I could see your face
More reason to get away the set
Get runnin', tucked my kids to sleep, tell 'em daddy's coming
And I wanna get you outta them jects
Nothin' but the best baby girl and that's just outta respect
[Chorus - Akon]
We all need one
We all need somebody to hold us down
We all need somebody to ride or die
We all, we all need, we all need one
Somebody that's gonna keep it real with you
Put up with your shit and deal with you
We all, we all need, we all need one
[Verse 3 - Fat Joe]
Ain't no shawty like the one I got
Take the work from your crib all day in the spot
I mean ya'll holla when she walked in the block
But she only love me man you ain't gotta shot
And there's nothing like the love we share
Even when your gone baby girl it's like your still right here
One sun, one moon, your my one boo
I could count on you, you always come through
[Chorus - Akon]
We all need one
We all need somebody to hold us down
We all need somebody to ride or die
We all, we all need, we all need one
Somebody that's gonna keep it real with you
Put up wit your shit and deal wit you
We all, we all need, we all need one
[Outro - Fat Joe]
One
Everybody wish they got that ride or die
That one and only seeing them all less
You feel me, no paper, locked down
She gonna hold you down, that's why we need that one
