Love Of My Life (Ode to Hip Hop) Lyrics


Right here what we gon' do is go back
Way back
Way back, yeahI met him when I was a
Little girl, he gave me
He gave me poetry
And he was my firstBut in my heart I knew I
Wasn't the only one
Cause when the tables turned
He had to break upWhenever I got lonely
Or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder
His words were very niceBut that is all behind me
Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine
A friend became theLove of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
I can depend

Love of my life
Without you, baby
It feels like a simple true loveHope this shit ain't clear
A freak-freak ya'll, and ya don't stop
To the beat ya'll and ya don't stop
A freak-freakOr could it be that it was
All just so simple then
A teenage lover who said
He's just a friendHe moved around and we kept
In touch through his friend Mike
The world was young and he knew
We couldn't rush butWhenever I got lonely
Or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder
His words were very niceBut that is all behind me
Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine
A friend became theLove of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
A dude I can depend, yeah, yeah
Love of my life
Feels like a simple true love, yeahLove of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
A dude I can depend, yeah, yeah
Love of my life
Feels like a simple true love, yeahHope this shit ain't clearY'all know how I met her
We broke up and got back together
To get her back I had to sweat her (sweat her)
Thought she roll wit bad boys forever
In many ways them boys made her better
To grow I had to let her (let her)
She needed cheddar and I understood that (that)
Lookin' for cheese that don't make her a hood rat (rat)
In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me
I love it when she sings to me
It's like that and aOoh you know you rock my world
And you be boy and I'll be girl
And we don't stop until the break of dawn
Ooh you know you rock my world
And you be boy and I'll be girl
And we don't stop until the break of oohhh
