Intro
Destiny's Child Lyrics
LeToya Barzini, I wanna thank you
For having me organize this meeting here today
And Kelly Steracki I also want to thank you
And all the other dons of the four families
Beyonce Corleone from the South West
Ah Latavia Menser from the four-four
Our objective of this meeting today is to discuss
Destiny's Child's commandments of relationships
You know it's so unfortunate, so unnecessary
For us to end up with broken hearts
Yes godfather times have changed
Relationships aren't like the old days you know?
See what we need is a man of his word
All this, uh cheating, uh backstabbing, hating no more, no more
But godfather, how do we avoid all these mishaps?
It's obvious, the writing's on the wall, thou shalt not hate
