[Jean's alter ego talking]

Hey boy, you know sometimes when two people are in love

They just can't seem to get it together

And that's how I feel about you

[Jean Grae]

He already knew I was down for the cause

But hard to get is much more fun

What's better than that really?

Son was like feel me?

I was all Nah

Catchin' feelings truly upset when he had to go

And school me on ways of catchin a mate, god

I'm matchin' a date cuz I'm lackin skills

Smaller than an Ipod

I'm kiddin I know the mackin is rules

Was tackin on the wifey latch since backpackin in school

But he's different though I feel him mo

Can't play it simple, No!

Can't fuck up the friendship for them dimples, Nope!

I need to enter his space and probe his INTERSCOPE

Just like im vanity lookin for his inner glow

He's not a BAD BOY, never sampled his type before

Moved to New York from Los Angeles

Cali Swagger ain't attached to nothin

We puffin analyzing the city after he's rollin somethin

I wanna ROCK A FELLA so bad, oh man

Note pad filled with all the ink his soul had

Visions of us. Kissin the whole nine

No JIVE could picture his whole profile

But I can't sleep, I risk the chance of losin everything

A friendship is more important than a wedding ring

Now he's callin me I keep actin SHADY

And lately screenin all his calls to escape

He keepin my heart safely tucked in, but I can't function

Until the AFTERMATH of our conjunctions passed

Punkin out, Im duckin out his way

Can't look him in the face, eyes drippin with game

My mind is trippin again, damn

[Jean's alter ego Talking]

You got me goin crazy

I think I, I think I love you

But

[Jean Grae talking]

Maybe it just shouldn't be us two

Maybe I'm just not the one who's right you know

And maybe we can't be together tonight

Or maybe it's just not good

I mean, maybe you just need another girl

Maybe I can't just be in your world

Maybe we just can't be together

For you, whatever

[Jean's alter ego talking]

Boy you got me going crazy

Should we be lovers

Should we be friends

I just wanna be with you, until the end

[Jean Grae]

I Jean Grae solemly need this Fresh to death man

Even blind girls can see that he's DEF JAM

I'm in this UNIVERSAL problem

Y'all can probably relate, y'all follow then

So do I give my lovin to him?

Or would that just ruin everything that we're about

I'm so attached to him

He knows the way I am, tempers un-godly so

Domestic violence could turn to me on DEATH ROW

He's so persistant with it, we're makin out again

We double datin, out with one of his COLUMBIA friends

He didn't graduate, Son makes him feel shitty

We leave the place, and run hand in hand around the city

He leans in kisses me, his G UNIT shiftly

My mind is ? movin into ecstasy

His warmth next to me, now we're all neckin

Layin in his arms affection

[Jean Grae talking]

Maybe it should be us two together

And maybe I'm the one for you forever

Or maybe we we're suppose to be together tonight

And maybe everything is just right

And maybe I'm your love until the end of time

And maybe I'm suppose to be yours, and you mine

And maybe It's just alright

And for you still, whatever

[Jean's alter ego talking]

Well I guess I, I guess I was the one for you

This is beautiful, Just us together forever and ever and ever

Can I get you anything?

Do you need some weed?

A backrub?

A slice of cake?

I'd do anything for you boy

Anything, anything

Except for that
