You & Me
Joe Feat. Fabolous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'cause now I ain't wit cha, know that I miss ya, some how I carry on
I can still picture, when I was wit cha like you was never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I dedicate this song, to my niggas laid out, til my niggas lay down
Can Ya Hear Me, I know you hear me
[Fabolous]
Quick to holla at a bitch with the same lines
Quick to draw on a nigga with the same nines
But at the same time we was on some different shit
'cause you was with a bitch that I beg to differ wit
I told you sniff a bit and you could get a whif of it
But you kept a closed nose when it came to those hoes
And I'm your nigga so I tried to smell em wrong for ya
Wasn't there to take the fault for ya, But if you hear me
I dedicate this song for ya, He was setup in a stick up
By a girl he used to pick up on the upper west side
I used to help him chop a brick up, They found him in his pickup
Pants down and dick up, leaning with one in his head
And one in his chest, One of the best at this husslin' shit
But his downfall was that he put his trust in a bitch and it's fucked up
[Chorus]
[Fabolous]
I remember selling three bricks of raw powder
Turn my man into a star in 24 hours
He didn't care spent the money in like 4 hours
On a Benz with like 400 and Horsepower
And a chain that had christ on it, a rollie with a lot of Ice on it
A pinky ring with a price on it, when he come around
Its likely that he blunted
With a pretty lady in them Nike's that you wanted
It's well know he kept it on his hip like a cell phone
If you speak with him you can pick up on his jail tone
He used to say he wasn't going back without blowing back
And now I'm black I wouldn't put it past him
The D's would Harass him, til he finally blacked out
They told my nigga to freeze, but he still backed out
Shots fired 'til his trigger finger got tired
All the newspapers said was 'Another Nigga Dead'
And it's fucked up
[Chorus]
[Fabolous]
You can catch me in a cherry red 8-50 nice ass
Great titties, face pretty everybody know that she date smitty
A big time dealer that's doing a state biddin
Who did more than his share of dirt in the world
Enough to make a nigga think about hurtin' his girl
So he used to tell his queen to stay to the castle
Away from the hassle to the day that he pass through
There's some enemies he might have who may want to blast you
She stayed for a few years, that's until a few pairs
Convinced her to come and hang out around New Year's
It's been awhile, you can see it in her smile
And she ran into her man's Co-Defendant in the trial
Who started going on about how he moving on
About running with them same niggas Smitty had warned about
She slid off told her girl, she had to drop her kid off
They found her in the parking lot, somebody blew her lid off
And it's fucked up
[Chorus: x2]
The lyrics of Joe Feat. Fabolous's song You & Me are a powerful expression of grief, regret, and remembrance for friends and loved ones who are no longer with us. The chorus speaks to the pain of missing someone who has passed away, and the memories that remain vivid even when they are gone. The verses tell three different stories of friends who were lost to senseless violence or betrayal, and the pain and anger that their deaths left behind.
The first verse tells the story of a friend who was killed in a stick-up by a girl he used to pick up. Fabolous regrets not being there to protect him, but also blames him for putting too much trust in a woman who ultimately led to his downfall. The second verse tells the story of a friend who made a lot of money dealing drugs, but ultimately paid the price with his life. Fabolous regrets not being able to save him, but also recognizes that his friend made choices that put him in harm's way. The third verse tells the story of a woman who was killed because of her association with a man who had enemies. Fabolous mourns her loss and the senselessness of her death, but also recognizes that she may have put herself in harm's way by ignoring her partner's warning.
Overall, the lyrics of You & Me are a poignant commentary on the dangers of street life, and the many ways in which violence and betrayal can tear apart friendships and communities. Through these stories, the song encourages us to remember those who have been lost, and to honor their memory by making different choices in our own lives.

'cause now I ain't wit cha, know that I miss ya, some how I carry on
I miss you but life goes on without you
I can still picture, when I was wit cha like you was never gone
I remember the good times and it feels like you were never gone
I remember the good times, all of the bad times
I remember all the times we had, good and bad
I dedicate this song, to my niggas laid out, til my niggas lay down
This song is dedicated to my friends who are gone, and those who are still with me, until we all pass away
Can Ya Hear Me, I know you hear me
I hope you can hear me even though you're gone.
Now we was once two niggas of the same kind
We used to be close friends who shared the same experiences
Quick to holla at a bitch with the same lines
We used to pick up women using the same lines
Quick to draw on a nigga with the same nines
We used to be ready to use our guns on anyone who disrespected us
But at the same time we was on some different shit
But ultimately, we were on different paths
'cause you was with a bitch that I beg to differ wit
I disagreed with your choice of girlfriend
I told you sniff a bit and you could get a whif of it
I tried to warn you that she was trouble
But you kept a closed nose when it came to those hoes
But you didn't listen to my advice and continued to be with her
And I'm your nigga so I tried to smell em wrong for ya
As your friend, I still had your back despite our disagreements
Wasn't there to take the fault for ya, But if you hear me
I wasn't able to protect you from your own mistakes, but I hope you can hear me now
I dedicate this song for ya, He was setup in a stick up
This song is dedicated to you and our friend who was set up and killed
By a girl he used to pick up on the upper west side
Our friend was killed by a girl he used to date in a robbery on the upper west side
I used to help him chop a brick up, They found him in his pickup
Our friend was involved in drug activity, and he was found dead in his car
Pants down and dick up, leaning with one in his head
He was found in a compromising position, with a gunshot wound to the head
And one in his chest, One of the best at this husslin' shit
He was a skilled hustler and businessman, but ultimately his dangerous lifestyle caught up with him
But his downfall was that he put his trust in a bitch and it's fucked up
He trusted the wrong person and it cost him his life
I remember selling three bricks of raw powder
I remember the times when we were involved in selling drugs
Turn my man into a star in 24 hours
Our friend became successful quickly
He didn't care spent the money in like 4 hours
But he didn't manage his money well and spent it quickly
On a Benz with like 400 and Horsepower
He bought an expensive car with a lot of horsepower
And a chain that had christ on it, a rollie with a lot of Ice on it
He also bought a fancy chain and Rolex watch
When he come around, Its likely that he blunted
He often smoked weed when he was around us
With a pretty lady in them Nike's that you wanted
He was always with a pretty girl wearing Nike shoes that we all admired
It's well know he kept it on his hip like a cell phone
He always carried a gun with him at all times
If you speak with him you can pick up on his jail tone
He had a way of speaking that made it clear he had been in jail before
He used to say he wasn't going back without blowing back
He was ready to use his gun to protect himself and not go back to jail
And now I'm black I wouldn't put it past him
Now that I'm older, I understand his mindset better and I wouldn't be surprised if he did use his gun
The D's would Harass him, til he finally blacked out
The police harassed him until he finally snapped
They told my nigga to freeze, but he still backed out
The police told our friend to stop, but he disobeyed and tried to run
Shots fired 'til his trigger finger got tired
The police shot at him until he couldn't shoot back anymore
All the newspapers said was 'Another Nigga Dead'
The media didn't care about another black man being killed by the police
You can catch me in a cherry red 8-50 nice ass
I drive a nice red car
Great titties, face pretty everybody know that she date smitty
I'm dating a girl with great looks who everyone knows is with me
A big time dealer that's doing a state biddin
I'm involved in drug dealing and currently serving a sentence in jail
Who did more than his share of dirt in the world
I've done a lot of bad things in my life
Enough to make a nigga think about hurtin' his girl
I've done enough bad things to make me consider hurting my girlfriend
So he used to tell his queen to stay to the castle
To keep her safe from harm, I used to tell my girlfriend to stay at home
Away from the hassle to the day that he pass through
I wanted her to be away from trouble until the day I got out of jail
There's some enemies he might have who may want to blast you
I have enemies who might want to hurt my girlfriend
She stayed for a few years, that's until a few pairs
She stayed with me for a few years, until a few of her friends convinced her to leave the house
Convinced her to come and hang out around New Year's
They convinced her to come out and celebrate New Year's with them
It's been awhile, you can see it in her smile
It's been a while since she's been happy
And she ran into her man's Co-Defendant in the trial
She met one of my co-defendants from my trial
Who started going on about how he moving on
He bragged about moving on from our situation and leaving me behind
About running with them same niggas Smitty had warned about
He talked about running with the same people I had warned our friend about
She slid off told her girl, she had to drop her kid off
She left the gathering to drop off her child
They found her in the parking lot, somebody blew her lid off
She was found dead in her car, someone had shot her
And it's fucked up
It's a terrible and tragic situation
