You're My Everything
Popa Wu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're my everything (15X)
(Dedicated, to my everything
That's to you, you know who you are boo
You're my everything, yo)
(King Just)
She had a man, but I caught her eye thru a dollar van
Maybe when, when we get a chance to meet each other
Face to face, to brace with one another
I tell her why I love her
Then thug her back out, dun-dun, I got a steakhouse
Crashin the sex, feeled aroma till she passed out
She called a timeout, laid back and let her air out
Let the room air out, champagne mixed with style
Kept us goin, till the early mornin
We was bonin, blowin our can, for shorty holdin
Blunts rollin, carryin flow on this love boat
Tranquilizin your thought with one note
(Chorus: King Just)
You my everything, won't you come shine with the King
And you can see the wonders and the joy life brings
Under my wing, is where you belong
And lovin you is right, then maybe I don't wanna be wrong
Cuz you my everything, oh you my everything
You my everything, oh you my everything
You my everything, oh you my everything
You my everything, oh you my everything
(King Just)
Look at Miss Symbol, wit the dimples and old pimples
Talkin like she like how I rock on instrumentals
Talkin like she been thru the same shit I been thru
Got me singin "I wanna get into you" stop it
Hot like the tropics, and not from the projects
Me and you boo, we like a plug to a socket
A pants to a pocket, and Houston to the Rockets
A doorknob to a closet, got you screamin "Stop it!"
Logical when we mix molecules
Better call Con Ed, cuz we might blow a fuse
Ain't no rules, you choose whatever you do
You my everything, and I do everything for you
You my sun, moon and star, last drink at the bar
You the rims on my car, nah I ain't gon' go that far
There ain't nuthin that I put before you
That's when I'm knowin what I'm sayin here is true
(Chorus)
(King Just)
Ms. Everything, you so pretty, how how she diddie
With the tickle pity, you should be the New York City
Stay jiggy, that's why I got to keep you from my niggies
(Yo Just you got a lot like Backstreet) No diggy
Plus she digs me and makes my oatmeal lumpy
And asks the right questions like "Why they call you bumpy?"
First girl to hump me, at the age of a virgin
Last girl to hit me off, cuz my money's splurgin
I'm certain, this be the right one son
Cuz she was hooked ever since I dropped Warrior's Drum
Make you cum twenty times, with these rhymes of mine
Between love and hate there's a thin line
So I'm, gonna watch my step, and choose correct
But this is for thee, she can bounce like a bad check
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, respect me
Better than your ex, your man's Lex
So your next to be boyfriend
Ain't no toy friends, here
Ms. Everything, you my cootie in the chair
Booty from the rear, hotter shit this year
I swear, my dear
(Chorus 2X)

You're my everything (15X)
I cherish and appreciate you more than anything else in my life
She had a man, but I caught her eye thru a dollar van
I caught the attention of a woman who was already in a relationship while riding a cheap public transport service
Had Persians, skin tone like an Arabian
The woman I was attracted to had Middle Eastern features and a tan complexion
Maybe when, when we get a chance to meet each other
Perhaps one day we'll have an opportunity to finally meet in person
Face to face, to brace with one another
When we do finally meet, I want to embrace her and express my love face-to-face
I tell her why I love her
I express my affection and devotion to her
Then thug her back out, dun-dun, I got a steakhouse
We engage in sexual activity, followed by going out for dinner at an upscale restaurant
Crashin the sex, feeled aroma till she passed out
We had vigorous sex until she collapsed from exhaustion
She called a timeout, laid back and let her air out
She needed a break from our physical activity to catch her breath and relax
Let the room air out, champagne mixed with style
We let the room air out while drinking champagne in a stylish and sophisticated manner
Kept us goin, till the early mornin
We continued our activities until the early hours of the morning
We was bonin, blowin our can, for shorty holdin
We were having sex and smoking marijuana together
Blunts rollin, carryin flow on this love boat
We continued to smoke marijuana while enjoying our romantic encounter
Tranquilizin your thought with one note
The calming and relaxing effect of the marijuana helped set the mood for our romantic encounter
You my everything, won't you come shine with the King
You mean everything to me and I want you to share in my success and happiness
And you can see the wonders and the joy life brings
Together, we'll experience all the wonderful and joyful moments that life has to offer
Under my wing, is where you belong
You are meant to be by my side, where I can protect and care for you
And lovin you is right, then maybe I don't wanna be wrong
Loving you feels so right that I don't want to be wrong for choosing you
Look at Miss Symbol, wit the dimples and old pimples
Another woman caught my attention and she had dimples and acne scars on her face
Talkin like she like how I rock on instrumentals
She complimented my skills as a musician
Talkin like she been thru the same shit I been thru
She spoke as if she had similar life experiences as me
Got me singin "I wanna get into you" stop it
I became aroused by her and had to control myself from saying something inappropriate
Hot like the tropics, and not from the projects
She was very attractive and not from a low-income neighborhood
Me and you boo, we like a plug to a socket
We are a perfect match for each other, like electricity flowing effortlessly between a plug and a socket
A pants to a pocket, and Houston to the Rockets
We complement each other perfectly, like pants and pockets or the city of Houston to their NBA team, the Rockets
A doorknob to a closet, got you screamin "Stop it!"
Our chemistry and connection are so strong that it's overwhelming and she can't handle it
Logical when we mix molecules
Our relationship is based on logic and mutual attraction
Better call Con Ed, cuz we might blow a fuse
Our passion and intensity for each other is so high that we might cause a power outage
Ain't no rules, you choose whatever you do
There are no restrictions or limitations in our relationship, she can do whatever she wants
You my sun, moon and star, last drink at the bar
She is everything to me, the most important person in my life, and I want to spend my last moments with her
You the rims on my car, nah I ain't gon' go that far
Although I love her very much, comparing her to the rims on my car may be too extreme
There ain't nuthin that I put before you
She is my top priority and nothing else comes before her
That's when I'm knowin what I'm sayin here is true
I truly mean what I'm saying and she can trust that
Ms. Everything, you so pretty, how how she diddie
I address my lover and compliment her on how beautiful she is
With the tickle pity, you should be the New York City
I find her so incredibly attractive that she should be the main attraction of New York City
Stay jiggy, that's why I got to keep you from my niggies
She's so attractive and desirable that I must keep her away from other men who may try to pursue her
(Yo Just you got a lot like Backstreet) No diggy
My confidence and charm attract many women, but I'm devoted only to her
Plus she digs me and makes my oatmeal lumpy
She loves me and takes care of me by making me delicious, filling oatmeal
And asks the right questions like "Why they call you bumpy?"
She shows genuine interest in me and asks thoughtful questions to get to know me better
First girl to hump me, at the age of a virgin
She was my first sexual partner, when I was still a virgin
Last girl to hit me off, cuz my money's splurgin
She's the only woman who satisfies me sexually, even when I have an excess of money
I'm certain, this be the right one son
I am absolutely sure that she is the right woman for me
Cuz she was hooked ever since I dropped Warrior's Drum
She has been infatuated with me since I released my music album Warrior's Drum
Make you cum twenty times, with these rhymes of mine
My music and lyrics make her feel pleasure and sexual satisfaction multiple times
Between love and hate there's a thin line
The boundary between love and hate is very narrow and can be easily crossed
So I'm, gonna watch my step, and choose correct
I am aware of the risks of our relationship and will do everything in my power to make it work
But this is for thee, she can bounce like a bad check
I am completely committed to her and she can trust in me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, respect me
I demand respect in our relationship
Better than your ex, your man's Lex
I am a better partner than her previous boyfriend, who owned a Lexus
So your next to be boyfriend
If she were to ever leave me, her next boyfriend would not be as good as me
Ain't no toy friends, here
I do not play games in our relationship, it is serious and genuine
Ms. Everything, you my cootie in the chair
I affectionately refer to her as my dear partner, sitting next to me in a chair
Booty from the rear, hotter shit this year
She has an attractive figure and her looks are particularly trendy and fashionable this year
I swear, my dear
I promise and swear to always love and cherish her
