I took one look at you

You were my destiny
You're all (you're all)

To get by (to get by)

To get by (yeah, ay)
Check it out
Shorty I'm there for you anytime you need me
For real girl, it's me in your world, believe me
Nothin' make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown that be down for whatever
There are few things that's forever, my lady
We can make war or make babies
Back when I was nothin'
You made a brother feel like he was somethin'
That's why I'm with you to this day boo, no frontin'
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub me on my back and say, "Baby it'll be okay"
Now that's real to a brother like me, baby
Never ever give my- away and keep it tight, a'ight
And I'ma walk these dogs so we can live
In a phat crib with thousands of kids
Word life you don't need a ring to be my wife
Just be there for me and I'ma make sure we
Be livin' in the lap of luxury
I'm realizing that you didn't have to wit' me
But you did, now I'm going all out kid
And I got mad love to give, you my nigga
You're all (you're all)
I need
To get by (you're all, all I need)
You're all (you're all)
I need
To get by (all I need, all I need)
I got a love jones for your body and your skin tone
Five minutes alone I'm already on the bone
Plus I love the fact you got a mind of your own
No need to shop around you got the good- at home
Even if I'm locked up North you in the world
Rockin' three-fourths of cloth
Never showin' your stuff off, boo
It be true me for you that's how it is
I can be your Knower, you can be my Wiz
Then I can be your sun, you can be my earth
Resurrect the God through birth
Best believe
You're all that I need, I'll be there for you
If you keep it real with me, I'll keep it real wit'chu (you're all)
Loving your whole steeze, it be in there boo (I need)
On top of that you got the good power-U (to get by)
You're all that I need, I'll be there for you
If you keep it real with me, I'll keep it real wit'chu (you're all)
