This is the story of you
What makes you special
Where you come from
This is one of the most exciting stories ever told
Because its about you
And you are one of the most important things in this world you.She ride cause her testament has been day one
A nigga got trust cause she been day one
Day one's done, build a fam. Bruce Lee
So we K-I-said the BS goodbye
Damsel in distress so I stress good guy
Tarzan and Jane more like Bonnie and Karem
Could you be my sugar water, tonic and cream
Put the dean in my yard, like religion and kingAnd ding diamond you a sight
Like unidentified rims spinning in the night
Me without your balance just wouldn't sit right
Like written wouldn't be past tense without tenIf it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
(I need you)Hey because of you my little lady named fame
People spot me like nerves spot pain
Put the S on my chest and inside my veins
Before that this darkie had to smile for them to see me
Now them same kids that used to diss wanna be me
Due to me being down with you
Hooked up 82' plus 6
When you gave me my fix
You fixed my house and banking accounts
You fixed me up with too many women to count
Only right for you to have your side niggas too
And even when you don't come back
At least when you was here for me
The world cheered for youIf it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
(I need you)Pen you my muthafucka
I'm a hold you like piss
Even when the itchy burn make me wanna let go
There you go smudgin', see actin mad funny
But you kissin' loose leafs so I can't be mad
You my confidant when I couldn't tell pops that report card came
You signed off with me
So when the checks come you'll be signin' off with me
But when I'm dead and gone will you sign on?
Ooh Papermate you light like paper weight
But you pack ink, can make tattoos turn pussy
And when its mush time you be there like a man
In my hand spillin' my heart with your blood.If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
(I need you)You're my first born
My lil Capricorn kid
Slid in this world at 1 pound 8 oz.
My little miracle baby
Grown in to a little lady
So fast, like pressing the gas while the tape bounce
Through you, me and your grandfather grew closer
I understand now, all he tried to give for me
I wanna give it to you the same way
But sometimes four short and you still live for me
And just want you to know
I may not show all the right feelings or say the right words
But you're my little black diamond
And always shining in my heart
And that's way beyond wordsIf it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
(I need you)You've been with me on the inside homie
Puff life in me ever since I was a knee high
I knew I had heart
Ain't gang related but you relative to blood
AB negative you represent love
Though you break like Pringles
Your heroic in your size
You make David beat Goliath
You heart beaker
Broads love you on Valentines day
Quaker brought beats to my chest before hip-hopIf it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
If it wasn't for you
(I need you)
