[intro - loon - talking]

Loon la lean aka young marcus

Young, pretty and heartless

And my man ctzy

He make it seem to easy

And the general p d-i double d-y

See why we be fly

[verse 1 - loon]

Now you can hum all you want to, cum all you want to

But i ain't mase so run all you want to

Sit there act all dumb if you want to

Spend your whole life in the slums if you want to

I eat good, eat crumbs if you want to

And keep wastin time with the bums if you want to

I got long though, you know how the song go

My name hold weight, far from a john doe

It so strange how the game made my arm grow

Used to live in cell blocks, now i live in condos

And every morning i feel like alonzo

Number one on the pop charts and your moms know

Everytime i pull up, there's a car show

Young cats, stay lookin like the head honcho

My escargot my car go one-sixty

The world's fargo parto

Me and puff like the "lone ranger, tonto"

Leave the club and we leave with a whole car load

And we got better ratings than a new gong show

But right now you got to let my arm go, c'mon ma

[chorus - carl thomas]

I know what you've been through

Sometimes love is so cruel

(sometimes)

Oh, yes it is

(oh, yes it is)

I know i ain't perfect, but i'll be there for you

(gonna be there for you baby)

Oh yes i will (oh woo woo)

[verse 2 - loon]

Uh, check it out

You choose to lose, only cause you confused

If you was with me, i'd probably go abuse them dude

But you runnin 'round 'busin shoes

'stead of 22's that cruise

How you gon' abuse the rude

Girl you runnin with some popular dude

Poppin bottles of voo

Now you seen me and you not in the mood

Girl he has you on the block with his dudes

Different watches to choose

Baby girl i think you got me confused

That's like a chair to a sofa

Ma tell her oprah, seein russell in a pair of loafers

It's evident, that's irrelevant, you was elegant

Taught you proper etiquette, for the hell of it

It's like you feel me, but you not smellin it

I try to talk but you stay on some yellin shit

Then you complain about the things that helen get

Leave me and get the same treatment a felon get

[chorus - carl thomas]

I know what you've been through

Sometimes love is so cruel

(sometimes love can be so cruel)

Oh, yes it is

I know i ain't perfect, but i'll be there for you

(i'm gonna be there for you)

Oh yes i will (oh, yes i will)

[verse 3 - loon]

Uh, yo

Yo i'm the type when i come through

Mami i do what i want to

As far as you if i want you

Now i ain't come here to haunt you

So you can have a attitude if you want to

I'ma have you, reason why

All four seasons i'm fly

I'ma player, ain't no reason to lie

Ain't no reason for you breezin on by

Without squeezin a "hi"

Cause i could tell by the gleam in your eye

You like cats with dough that fold up

22's when they roll up

Ma you need to slow up, hold up

Here's a proposition, on the real ma, he got to listen

I know he's loud, cause the top is missin

But you could be in the tropics fishin

By the sea, mami poppin crisses

Though it seem kinda optimistic

I got green and a pot to piss in

Fuck with me, you got a lot to witness

Cause i'ma have you

[chorus - carl thomas]

I know what you've been through

Sometimes love is so cruel

(sometimes love)

Oh, yes it is

(sometimes, oh yeah)

I know i ain't perfect, but i'll be there for you

(i ain't perfect, but i'll be there for you)

Oh yes i will (oh, yes i will)

[break - carl thomas]

Wa hoo, i know that love

Don't give you a fan sometimes

Sometimes what you gotta, what you gotta

You gotta reach down and play it with your poker face

[chorus - 2x - w/ ad libs]
