Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was young I was dumb
Didn't know what I was thinking
Use to think that I could rule the world
That's the way I be living
Fast cars always shopping at the malls
Never caring for your heart
Always with my friend yeah..
'Til you came along
And opened up my eyes
You asked me what was goin' on
Seemed that I had changed inside oh my
Said I was tripping
And slowly slipping
In another bad situation
And I said to myself
I don't wanna go that route

[Chorus]

'Cause I don't wanna loose you babe
You know that I'm still down
I don't wanna loose you babe
Just keep me on the ground
I don't wanna loose you babe
You know that I won't change
'cause for you I'll do anythang and everythang
You know that I won't change a thang

you're my moon,you're my sun
You're my stars you are my everythang
And I'm sorry if I haven't made
You feel that way...ok...
I've been a fool I know its true
And I gotta make it....up to you babe
I gotta show you that I still
Acknowledge you...

till you came along
And opened up my eyes
You asked me wha was goin on
Seemed that I had changed inside...oh my
Said I was triping
And slowly slipping
In another bad situation
And I said to myself

[Rap feat: gemini]

yeah
Lets go..from the the start of it all
You were there for me
Before the range and the benz
Before everythang uh
Memba those nights...
No lights no food on the stove
Just me just you and a baby to hold
Whoooh
And now you saying me and you
That we strayed away
And that we haven't been the same
Since the money came
But the money means nothing
If I don't have you...uh uh
To support and back me in everythang
That I do... 'cause if you ain't there
Then why am I here...tell her
Please understand that I care...uh

'cause I don't wanna loose you babe
You know that I'm still down
I don't wanna loose you babe
Just keep me on the ground
I don't wanna loose you babe
You know that I won't change




'cause for you I'll do anythang and everythang
You know that I won't change a thang
