DMX rap:

Now there's two ways we can do this

Keep it real or front

I know you got what I need and I got what you want

And the hunt for soulmates is all over for us

We could go away where nobody would know it was us

Leave behind all the fuss, the studios, the pictures

No autographs, just laughs when I'm wit ya

I know what it's like when they know you now

But bark at your dog baby, and I'll hold you down

Time and time and time again

I knew that our love had to end

But now it's gone so very far

That I can make a brand new start

I thought that we were meant to be

Be one big family

But I was weak and loved you still

No matter what you did, I could forgive

Chorus:

All I need is sincerity

All I need is sincerity

Thinking 'bout you all the time

Never seemed to cross my mind

How you could take the time to kill

Everything our love had built

I never knew how you could hide

Everytime you told a lie

But now I know why you're so cold

But I don't understand

Now that you set me free

I truly think that we

Could find love separately

I need sincerity

One thing, I'm not as weak

I'll always stand alone

But my mind is not made of stone

So I'll go on

Chorus:

All I need is sincerity

All I need is sincerity

Nas rap:

Chipped tooth Don

Nasty, blue ice timbs on

Screw it face, half moon part, my tattoos dark

On a scale of tough criminals, nothin' to call me

I'm a rare individual, young and I'm bossy

Guess it come from a rough life, cuffed at night

Lettin' off hot lead that bust from iron pipes

I'm the type that have to shed blood

Pray to the ghost of dead thugs, dead blocks that spread drugs

Fled from the cops 'till when my first joint dropped

I'm still wit my hood, Hollow Point still in the glock

But I've been shitted on by these high class hoes

Even these chickens did me wrong, I was just gettin' on

So I turned cold, givin 'em hard dick and straight to the hole

Like Rod Strickland, it was takin' it's toll

I needed someone I could hold in my darkest hours

A strong couple is a blessing and the heart is the power

Give me someone I could trust, not just a hotty to bone

Does she love Escobar, or love Nasir Jones?

Let me know so I could cop her the stones

What's clear to me, it's sincerity

Somebody I could call my own, yeah

All I need is sincerity
