I'll Be There
Loon Feat. Carl Thomas Lyrics

Loon la lean aka young Marcus
The artist, Loon, is also known as young Marcus

Young, pretty and heartless
Loon is young, good-looking, and remorseless

And my man CTzy
Referring to his associate, Carl Thomas

He make it seem to easy
Carl Thomas makes success appear effortless

And the general P D-I double D-why
Puff Daddy (also known as P Diddy) is referred to as the general

See why we be fly
This is why we are so successful and glamorous

Now you can hum all you want to, cum all you want to
You can have all the small pleasures you desire

But I ain't Mase so run all you want to
But I am not Mase, so you can run if you like

Sit there act all dumb if you want to
You can choose to act foolish

Spend your whole life in the slums if you want to
You can also waste your life living in poverty

I eat good, eat crumbs if you want to
I live a good life, but you can choose to live in destitution

And keep wastin' time with the bums if you want to
You can continue to waste your time with low-level people

I got long though, you know how the song go
I have a long, illustrious career that you are aware of

My name hold weight, far from a John Doe
My name carries weight and is well known

It so strange how the game made my arm grow
It's interesting how the music industry has elevated my success

Used to live in cell blocks, now I live in condos
I used to live in prison, now I live in luxury apartments

And every morning I feel like Alonzo
Every morning, I feel like a powerful, successful figure

Number one on the pop charts and your moms know
I am the number one artist on the pop charts, and even your mother knows who I am

Every time I pull up, there's a car show
Whenever I arrive, there's a spectacle of luxurious cars

Young cats, stay lookin' like the head honcho
Young people always try to look like they have power and control

My escargot my car go one-sixty
My car can go up to one hundred and sixty miles per hour

The world's Fargo Parto
The world is a wild and unpredictable place

Me and Puff like the "Lone Ranger, Tonto"
Me and Puff are a dynamic duo, much like the Lone Ranger and Tonto

Leave the club and we leave with a whole car load
Whenever we leave the club, we have an entire car full of people with us

And we got better ratings than a new gong show
Our ratings and success are higher than a new TV show

But right now you got to let my arm go, see'mon ma
But for now, you need to let go of my arm and come with me

I know what you've been through
I understand the struggles you've faced

Sometimes love is so cruel
Love can be at times very harsh

(Sometimes)

Oh, yes it is
Yes, it is

(Oh, yes it is)

I know I ain't perfect, but I'll be there for you
I am not perfect, but I will always be here for you

(Gonna be there for you baby)

Oh yes I will (oh woo woo)
Yes, I will always be here for you

You choose to lose, only 'cause you confused
You make bad choices because you are confused

If you was with me, I'd probably go abuse them dude
If you were with me, I might mistreat other men because of my jealousy

But you runnin' 'round 'busin' shoes
But you are spending your time on trivial things like shoes

'Stead of 22's that cruise
Instead of focusing on important things like success

How you gon' abuse the rude
How can you disrespect people in this way?

Girl you runnin' with some popular dude
You are spending time with someone popular

Poppin' bottles of Voo
Drinking expensive liquor

Now you seen me and you not in the mood
You don't seem interested anymore once you see me

Girl he has you on the block with his dudes
You are hanging out with his friends on the block

Different watches to choose
You are picking from different expensive watches

Baby girl I think you got me confused
I think you are confused about your true feelings

That's like a chair to a sofa
That's a huge difference

Ma tell her Oprah, seein' Russell in a pair of loafers
That is like seeing Oprah with Russell Simmons in casual clothing

It's evident, that's irrelevant, you was elegant
It's clear that you are no longer elegant

Taught you proper etiquette, for the hell of it
I taught you manners for nothing

It's like you feel me, but you not smellin' it
You understand me intellectually, but you don't emotionally

I try to talk but you stay on some yellin' shit
When I try to communicate, you always yell over me

Then you complain about the things that Helen get
Then you complain about not having nice things

Leave me and get the same treatment a felon get
If you leave, you will end up in the same situation as a criminal

Uh, yo
Hey there

Yo I'm the type when I come through
When I arrive, I make a statement

Mami I do what I want to
I do whatever I like

As far as you if I want you
If I want you, I will pursue you

Now I ain't come here to haunt you
I did not come here to scare you

So you can have a attitude if you want to
You can have an attitude if you like

I'ma have you, reason why
I will have you, and there is a reason for it

All four seasons I'm fly
I always look good, no matter the season

I'ma player, ain't no reason to lie
I am a player, and I don't need to lie about it

Ain't no reason for you breezin' on by
No need to ignore me as you walk by

Without squeezin' a "hi"
Without even giving me a greeting

'Cause I could tell by the gleam in your eye
I can see that you are interested through your eye contact

You like cats with dough that fold up
You like men with money that can easily come and go

22's when they roll up
With fancy cars that have 22 inch rims

Ma you need to slow up, hold up
You need to slow down and wait

Here's a proposition, on the real ma, he got to listen
Here's an offer for you to consider, and it is important that he listens

I know he's loud, cause the top is missin'
I know he's fancy because his car has no roof

But you could be in the Tropics fishin'
You could be enjoying a tropical vacation and fishing on the beach

By the sea, mami poppin' Crisses
Enjoying a nice bottle of champagne by the ocean

Though it seem kinda optimistic
It may seem unlikely

I got green and a pot to piss in
But I have money and resources to make it happen

Fuck with me, you got a lot to witness
If you choose me, you will witness a lot of success

I know what you've been through
I understand the struggles you've faced

Sometimes love is so cruel
Love can be very harsh at times

(Sometimes)

Oh, yes it is
Yes, it is

(Sometimes, oh yeah)

I know I ain't perfect, but I'll be there for you
I am not perfect, but I will always be here for you

(I ain't perfect, but I'll be there for you)

Oh yes I will (oh, yes I will)
Yes, I will always be here for you

Wa hoo, I know that love
I understand the complexities of love

Don't give you a fan sometimes
Love can sometimes be disappointing

Sometimes what you gotta, what you gotta
Sometimes you need to put on a fake smile and push through

You gotta reach down and play it with your poker face
You need to keep your emotions in check and play the game with a straight face
