J Hus Ella Mai Lyrics

(JAE5)

I still got my youth but I'm more mature
I bumped into baby by the corner store
It's mad cah I saw her the night before
I was the only lengman on the dance floor
You don't know me but I know you for sure
We was best friend another time before
I had a butterfly and put it in your core
I'm lookin' at your heart, it was in my paw
Right in my hands, I show you my plans
How I wanna get rich and feed the poor
Come home, I put my pinger in the drawer
You know you sexy, but I'll reassure
But she love me more when I'm hardcore
I came with the clique that they can't war
It's 3 o'clock, I link you at half 4
You know this is the shit I go hard for

I can take it all up on me
When you in your darkest moments
And I'll be here until the morning
Can I be the one and only?
Put it on me
And if you can keep it comin'
I promise that I'll put my all in (yeah)
Wanna be the one and only

Remember when I put you on your tiptoe (yeah)
You let me see your thong like Sisqo
Put water in my cup and I sip slow
I was the only lengman in the disco
She blew me but she ain't even Crip tho' (no no)
We stop usin' cash now we usin' crypto
I do a gun sign and give man the signal
Babe, I like you more when you keep it simple
I'm in the passy, blowin' indo out the window
If I love you then I show you to my kinfolk
Skinny man but I'm comin' like Big Show
Everybody loves me, but they hate Chris tho'
She my baby, my likkle diamond, crystal
But every day she wanna fight me like Kimbo
I tek bad gyal, I make her do the limbo

I can take it all up on me
When you in your darkest moments
And I'll be here until the morning
Can I be the one and only?
Put it on me
And if you can keep it comin'
I promise that I'll put my all in
Wanna be the one and only

Playin' hard to get
Won't get me nowhere
'Cause I've been right here waitin' for you
What's meant to be will be, if you let it
Take me home, your mama won't regret it
Don't need to be lonely
Boy, I'm the one you know it

I can take it all up on me
When you in your darkest moments (oh, nah-nah)
And I'll be here until the morning ('til the morning, babe)
Can I be the one and only? (Hey, hey)
Put it on me
And if you can keep it comin' (can you keep it comin' baby boy?)
I promise that I'll put my all in
Wanna be the one and only (yeah-yeah-yeah)

I wanna be the one and only




Yeah, babe
I wanna be the one and only

[Intro]
JAE5

[Verse 1: J Hus]
I still got my youth but I'm more mature
I bumped into baby by the corner store
It’s mad cah I saw her the night before
I was the only lengman on the dance floor
You don't know me but I know you for sure
We was best friend another time before
I had a butterfly and put it in your core
I'm lookin' at your heart, it was in my paw
Right in my hands I show you my plans
How I wanna get rich and feed the poor
Come home, I put my pinger in the drawer
You know you sexy, but I’ll reassure
But she love me more when I'm hardcore
I came with the clique that they can't war
It's 3 o'clock, I link you at Half 4
You know this is the shit I go hard for

[Chorus: Ella Mai & J Hus]
I can take it all up me
When you in your darkest moments
And I'll be here until the morning
Can I be the one and only?
Put it on me
And if you can keep it comin'
I promise that I'll put my all in (Yeah)
Wanna be the one and only


[Verse 2: J Hus, Ella Mai & Both]
Remember when I put you on your tiptoe (Yeah)
You let me see your thong like Sisqo
Put water in my cup and I sip slow
I was the only lengman in the disco
She blew me but she ain't even crip tho' (No-no)
We stop usin' cash now we usin' crypto
I do a gun sign and give man the signal
Babe I like you more when you keep it simple
I'm in the passy, blowin' indo out the window
If I love you then I show you to my kinfolk
Skinny man but I'm comin' like Big Show
Everybody loves me, but they hate Chris tho’
She my baby, my likkle diamond, crystal
But every day she wanna fight me like Kimbo
I tek bad gyal, I make her do the limbo

[Chorus: Ella Mai]
I can take it all up me
When you in your darkest moments
And I'll be here until the morning
Can I be the one and only?
Put it on me
And if you can keep it comin'
I promise that I'll put my all in
Wanna be the one and only


[Bridge: Ella Mai]
Playin' hard to get
Won't get me nowhere
'Cause I've been right here waitin' for you, ooh-ooh
What's meant to be will be, if you let it
Take me home, your momma won't regret it
Don't need to be lonely
Boy, I'm the one you know it

[Chorus: Ella Mai]
I can take it all up me
When you in your darkest moments (Oh, nah-nah)
And I'll be here until the morning (Till the morning, babe)
Can I be the one and only? (Hey, hey)
Put it on me
And if you can keep it comin' (Can you keep it comin' baby boy?)
I promise that I'll put my all in
Wanna be the one and only (Yeah-yeah-yeah)

I have been listening to β€œfight for your right” since the Γ‘lbum came out and I can’t explain how powerful and meaningful that song is for all African and black people in general.It reminds me of one of Miriam Makeba’s speeches:”The conqueror writes history β€œ
