You And Me (feat. Kelly Price)

[LL Cool J] [Kelly Price harmonizes in background]

Yeah, uhh, uhh

Word up

And you say New York City

A-ha-ha, word up (Take me away, baby)

Uhh, uhh, uhh.. uhh

Damn, you and your man had beef

so he left you Uptown, teary eyed, on the back streets

for me to scoop up in the Bentley drop

Long as God hold me down you know I had to stop

What the deal ma? You wanna use my cell?

You runnin solo? This block foul as hell

You said my ex be beatin on me

He mad jealous even though he be cheatin on me

Mmm, I said miss, let me tell you somethin

bout who's makin major moves and who's frontin

Huh, who's talkin loud but ain't sayin nuttin

And those who get the one they want but keep frontin

He don't appreciate the well til it run dry

Love is blind, it's hard to say goodbye {goodbye}

But smart birds choose to fly

cause we livin in the hood girlfriend, it's do or die

Here's my definition, of love everlasting

I would trade all my cash in, for passion

Tiffany jewels and designer fashions

to hear happiness is mine for the askin

Every day on my knees I pray

that I would run into someone that make me feel this way

What you think, you wanna ride with L?

Some things are meant to be baby, you never can tell

{I wanna ride, with you baby}

[Chorus: Kelly Price]

Every night, every day

I just sit and dream about you

You and me.. you and me..

Hold me tight, ecstasy

Makin love til ever after

Baby you and me, yeah.. you and me..

[LL Cool J]

Now we dippin on the FDR

It's one of them lucky nights when you can peep out the stars

We speak without talkin and the world is ours

When I glance over at ya I can feel your power

You schemin, L want a one-night stand

I'm schemin, she probably in love with her man

But we keep on rollin, hopin there's somethin more

Dreamin about tomorrow and what life got in store

Livin, no drama, we can chill, relax

Sex all night in the morn' count stacks

Sip Grand Marnier and maybe puff a dime sack

but only in moderation, we ain't livin like that, y'know?

We jetted up the tavern on the green

to talk about love cause the game's extreme

Domestic abuse and everything in between

Cause I want you to think of me when you need a shoulder to lean on

I'm from Queens, I'ma rep to the fullest

but I'd rather chill with you, 'stead of dodgin bullets

Glock in the stash I don't really wanna pull it

on some so-called thug cat, that's faker than acryllics

He said your fam be ridin your nerves

And you hate him for never givin you the life you deserve

Remember, the one who hold a grudge is foul

And everything you ever wanted is in front of you now

Whassup?

[Chorus]

[LL Cool J]

I promise you, dreams do come true

There's trials and tribulations that we all go through

When your heart's bleedin, how could the sky seem blue?

But listen up shorty, this is what I wanna do

Be there for you, baby care for you

When my dogs stare at you never sharin you

And to my ex-girlfriend, never comparin you

And do the things that your ex never dared to do

Time to bounce baby, I'm takin you home

Look at the moonlight sparkle on the 20 inch chrome

The rocks on my hand got a life of they own

plus the blend tape's bumpin and it's settin the tone

Should I jet to the hotel, is now the right time

or should I be patient and explore your mind?

You said you grew up in the ghetto and it hurt your heart

Tried to live smart but your dreams fell apart

You dated hustlers and brought 'em customers

They totally destroyed whatever trust their was

Now you hate men and everything they stand for

cause you wanna be treated like a queen, not a whore

Close your eyes, don't be afraid to dream

Open your heart to this cat from Queens

Whatever you wanna do, however you wanna do it

Back to back baby, we can get each other through it

[Chorus 3X]

[LL talks over the 3X]

Knahmean? Word up

Yeah, yeah

C'mon, c'mon

C'mon, c'mon

Yeah..

I just want you to think about that, y'knahmsayin?

Late at night when you layin there

and you feel like the whole world is fallin around you

Remember these words that I said

There's somebody out there for you baby

Might be me, you never know, ahahah

Word up, stay strong shorty

Keep your eyes up to the sky, knahmsayin?

Don't let nobody tell you you can't make it

And don't let nobody around you tell you

that it ain't possible to make your dreams come true

Word up, uhh

Knahmean? That's real

Queens represent, rock on

[Chorus (to fade, with Kelly Price ad libs)]
