Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Yeah Yeah)

You were my rock
You are my queen
When I'm feelin strange I would go and tell you everything just to ease the pain so ya son could think
(Again and again again and again again and again again and again my best friend)
You are my heart
You are my wing
You are my everything above that's why I got to show you love because I feel u every second of the day
(Again and again again and again again and again again and again my best friend)

Ma, I just wanted you to know
That ya boy still rappin yea I'm hitting the flows,
But they treat me like a nigha who been kicking in doors
Atleast I'm making more money that means more stereo
Type type stereo remember radio had the Hazflo show you used to tell yo crew and yall would listen in close
It was CHC, yea i even gave you a Tee
And even though you heard me cussing you supported the Me Being Me brand walkin in snow to see the meat man
Me, You, Todd, Ashley and Bee man
In Pritchard tryna dodge the heat man (ya feel me)
Taylor Rd do ya feel me (D block)
D block was Good can ya hear me (YintKno)
And cant nobody party like a charlotte party
When a charlotte party going down baby we won't stop!
Ya won't stop until the planet rock
And when ya heard the party people man ya know that was a wrap,
All my homies get down like what
Make sure ya got something in ya cup
And if ya ever actin up (whats that)
Man you know that that's a belt to ya butt
Well, she would say ass in her terms
Man i wish it was my ass because now my heart burns (damn)

You were my rock
You are my queen
When I'm feelin strange I would go and tell you everything just to ease the pain so ya son could think
(Again and again again and again again and again again and again my best friend)
You are my heart
You are my wing




You are my everything above that's why I got to show you love because I feel u every second of the day
(Again and again again and again again and again again and again my best friend)
