Fabolous ft. Jazzy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One time
One time
You just need a real one one time
You just need a real one, ay

Heard she in between dudes, just like Lauryn
Go to work everyday, take the bus like tourin'
She be curving all the locals, must like foreigns
And this is when I had the Martin, I was just like Lawrence
So wassup
Dark windows on the Aston
Who else pull a big daddy up on Mother Gaston
I'm like collar on, it's hard to get role lasting
She said "I don't know, it depend on who's asking"
Look, I'm Young OG, but you can call me Yogi
Say how real I am but when you do it sound bogie
So why don't you get to know me, I'll remind you of the homie
And make you forget about everybody that's before me
She said "I hope so cause them other niggas flow be
Had me gettin' hurt all the time, I'm like Kobe"
So I be with Adobe, M.I.A like "so be"
All these nigga tryna hit it, even bitches on the low be
Brooklyn like nah son, Harlem like yo b
It's wet like the ocean, well dick like Moby
We need to stick together, real one's click together
Since we both gettin' to it, we can hit that lick together
Get that money

You just need a real one one time
Stack up to a million one time
(Where we at?)
Back up in the building one time
Shout out to the real ones one time

Said you might have had some but you need a real one
You might have had some but you need a real one
You might have had some but you need a real one
Said you might have had some but you need a real one

Funny how money change a situation
Real one come through, make a lituation
When you work for me it come with vacation
Trip to L.A just to hit crustaceans
Everybody eats, had the krab with the noodles
Too busy doing me to be mad at what you do
The big dogs is out, better grab up your poodles
Don't let me work that magic 'cause Fab got that voodoo
Fab go that voodoo, yeah, Fab got that voodoo
Stick the pen in your dog, stab up your booboo
She might have had some but she need a real one
And she a bad one, realest in the building
And I'm a bad boy, I Diddy bop on Biggie block
Bad bitches can't really rock with any thot
Gotta ball, we really jocks up in the spot
I'm so Brooklyn, I Millie Rock on any block

We all need a real one one time
I know em when I see em one time
Kill em, and won't grieve 'em one time
But bae I'll never leave ya one time
You know I'm the type to ride with ya
Sit back, late, getting high with ya
Kick back, bump this vibe with ya
Baby I'm just glad to be alive with ya
You complete me baby
So much, listen to me, but boy you fill me up
And I know you need me baby
You know I'm down and know just how to lift me up
So tell me the truth
Is you rockin'? Cause I'm into you
Boy this poppin', I'm not timing you
Boy come clock in and it's all on you
I'll come knockin
Baby I'll be back in no time
Soon as we pause, we hit the rewind
Go back in time, slow down, 69
187, baby you are a big crime
And for you I'll do time, for you I'll do time
Long as you repay me with wine and dine
Anything you ask for with me is fine
I'll be your star baby, you are my sunshine

(Tell me what you need)
I just need a real one one time
(Get that money)
Stack up to a million one time
(Where we at?)
Back up in the building one time
Shout out to the real ones one time

You might have had some but you need a real one
You might have had some but you need a real one




You might have had some but you need a real one
One time
