Tyrese A.K.A. Black-Ty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one
The righteous way to go
Been a while but no
I'll believe if I'm told so
You're second to none
They ask me all the time do I know about love
Naturally I say yes but I don't know shit
'cause if I did I wouldn't be in and out of relationships
Why? Do I get caught up in eye candy
A few days I pound she ain't nowhere to be found
Everyday I pull so many dimes
I need to change my middle name to one line
'cause I got so many one liners
I try to tell her I was ready to go all the way
But she couldn't be patient with me
And now look at the end result
She ain't here to get these roses I brought
But I'ma keep my self-esteem up
And keep looking for some real love
You know its true what they say
Love's as precious as a rose
Will I ever find a rose I don't know
It's been a miracle from what you've done
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one
The righteous way to go
Been a while but no
I'll believe if I'm told so
You're second to none
I seen it coming way before we got here
You want me to put you over my whole career
My career was here first and its here to stay
Don't trip girl you're still a prior life and
Movie sets, rhyming, singing, and world tours
If I ain't got a rose in my life then what's it all for
You think I wanna be in private jets
Laid up in five star hotels by myself
Nope I want a rose to share with
The blessing of a backbone but I can't stay alone
I come home to a home cooked meal
A manicure pedicure without seeing a bill
Am I describing you I don't know
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life living single
Patience is a virtue that's the way that it goes
The question is will I find my rose is that you
It's been a miracle from what you've done
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one
The righteous way to go
Been a while but no
I'll believe if I'm told so
You're second to none
My moms taught me not to wear emotions on my sleeves
So when I leave please believe I'ma leave man
I'm not a charity case
But you might have to donate some love tips and show me the way
'cause if I really knew it all
You think y'all would have to talk to me about how to love and all
Naw I'd be on top of the world
At twenty seven with a wife, pregnant, and white picket fences and shit
It's cool I'ma get there soon
Running around in the yard having fun with my little ones
Thinking to myself I had my share
There's gonna be women everywhere
Not like the one I got here
Independent, fine as hell and got her own career
And if I ever needed her
She'll be right there
Is that you damn
I don't know what else to say man
I feel like I got something
But at the same time I don't
It's lonely out here
You can have all the money in the world
That shit don't matter
You know what I'm saying
When you broke you want money
And when you get money
You just want a girl to lay up with
And chill and relax and shit
You know

It's been a miracle from what you've done
I'm grateful for everything you've done for me
Please stay right by my side
I need you to be with me always
Two can be one
We can be united as one
The righteous way to go
Doing the right thing is important
Been a while but no
It's been a while but I'm still hopeful
I'll believe if I'm told so
I'll believe if someone tells me it's true
You're second to none
You're the best there is
The question is what do I know about love
I'm not sure if I really understand love
They ask me all the time do I know about love
People always ask me if I understand love
Naturally I say yes but I don't know shit
I try to act like I know, but I don't really
'cause if I did I wouldn't be in and out of relationships
If I really understood love, I wouldn't have trouble keeping a relationship
Why? Do I get caught up in eye candy
Do I get distracted by someone's looks?
A few days I pound she ain't nowhere to be found
After a few days together, she disappears
Everyday I pull so many dimes
I attract a lot of beautiful women
I need to change my middle name to one line
I'm good at coming up with pick-up lines
I try to tell her I was ready to go all the way
I tell her I'm ready for a serious relationship
But she couldn't be patient with me
She didn't want to wait for me
And now look at the end result
This is what happened in the end
She ain't here to get these roses I brought
She's not here to receive these gifts I got for her
But I'ma keep my self-esteem up
I won't let this bring me down
And keep looking for some real love
I'm still searching for true love
You know its true what they say
It's true what people say
Love's as precious as a rose
Love is valuable and beautiful
Will I ever find a rose I don't know
I don't know if I'll find true love
I seen it coming way before we got here
I knew this was going to happen
You want me to put you over my whole career
You want me to prioritize you over my career
My career was here first and its here to stay
My career came before you and it's not going away
Don't trip girl you're still a prior life and
Don't worry, you're still important to me
Movie sets, rhyming, singing, and world tours
My life involves making movies, writing songs, singing, and traveling the world
If I ain't got a rose in my life then what's it all for
If I don't have true love, what am I working towards?
You think I wanna be in private jets
You might assume I love traveling in private jets
Laid up in five star hotels by myself
Staying alone in fancy hotels is not as fun
Nope I want a rose to share with
No, I want someone to share life with
The blessing of a backbone but I can't stay alone
I want someone who can support me, but I can't be alone
I come home to a home cooked meal
I want to come home to a cooked meal
A manicure pedicure without seeing a bill
I want someone to treat me well
Am I describing you I don't know
Are you the one I'm describing? I don't know
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life living single
I don't want to be single forever
Patience is a virtue that's the way that it goes
I need to be patient to find true love
The question is will I find my rose is that you
Will I find true love? Is it you?
My moms taught me not to wear emotions on my sleeves
My mom taught me to not be too emotional
So when I leave please believe I'ma leave man
So when I leave, believe that I'm gone
I'm not a charity case
I'm not someone who needs pity
But you might have to donate some love tips and show me the way
But you might need to teach me how to love and show me the way
'cause if I really knew it all
If I really knew everything about love
You think y'all would have to talk to me about how to love and all
You wouldn't have to teach me about love if I knew everything
Naw I'd be on top of the world
I'd be on top of the world if I knew everything
At twenty seven with a wife, pregnant, and white picket fences and shit
By age 27, I'd have a wife, a pregnant wife, and a perfect life
It's cool I'ma get there soon
It's okay, I'll get there soon
Running around in the yard having fun with my little ones
I'll have fun with my kids in the yard
Thinking to myself I had my share
Thinking to myself that I've had my fair share
There's gonna be women everywhere
There are going to be women everywhere
Not like the one I got here
None like the one I have here
Independent, fine as hell and got her own career
Beautiful, independent and has her own career
And if I ever needed her
And if I ever needed her help
She'll be right there
She'll always be there for me
Is that you damn
Are you the one for me?
I don't know what else to say man
I don't know how else to express myself
I feel like I got something
I feel like I have something valuable
But at the same time I don't
But at the same time, I don't really
It's lonely out here
It's lonely being single
You can have all the money in the world
Money can't buy everything
That shit don't matter
That stuff isn't important
When you broke you want money
When you're poor, you want money
And when you get money
And when you have money
You just want a girl to lay up with
You just want someone to spend time with
And chill and relax and shit
And relax and enjoy life together
You know
You know how it is
