Drip, drip, drip, drop, drop, drop, drop, drip, drip

Drip, drip, drip, drop, drop, drop, drop, drip, drip

(I, I want to hear the whole song now anyway)

[Shamari]

Your love runs through me like the rain

Oh, and I like it

And you show me that you care

Oh, Leny

1 - Leny, love everlasting

I never want to be without you

Leny, love everlasting

I never want to be without

[Natina]

Yo, yo, check this out

Who said a brother can't buy you whips

And can, mother, give me all of it

Buyin' jewelry, I'm pawnin' it

Look at where I'm storin' at

Matter of fact, I just saw ya ex at the club

Givin' women much love, who be givin' 'em Lugz

Sippin' Cris' in the cup

Is that the one you said you could die for

The one you said you would lie for

Leny give it up, what what what what

[Brandi]

I've been reminiscin'

'Bout your ways

Things that are just so mean

Got me thinkin' about you

Again and again

[Shamari]

The way you make me feel

I knew that it could only be love

I miss you

And I hope that I

Could be the only one you will always dream of

Repeat 1

[Natina]

Huh huh, yea yea, what what

Everybody knows I'm the capital

Diva girl, nonchalant

I think not, protocol

Then I'm back shootin' craps with those other dogs

Pinnocle face, I erase

All of them fools on a paper chase

A dime piece and I'mma keep shinin' like ice sheets

Remember me by my what what what

Repeat 1

Repeat 1

Repeat 1

Repeat 1

Leny

Leny

Huh huh what what

I said Leny love

Leny

Stop the tape

Heh heh

Drip, drip, drip, drop, drop, drop, drop, drip, drip
