I'll never leave you, I'll never let you go, no (x2)
Verse 1:
I know it's been a minute baby but it's me again,
I put you through a lot but everybody needs a friend,
Someone who knows your secrets cuz you know I'll keep em in,
And plus your window's always open when I need some trim,
But it ain't 'bout that,
You take me as I am,
I turn you on and push your buttons, they don't understand,
How we're ten years strong with the upper hand,
So I know you couldn't do this with another man,
I remember talking 'bout you in my buddy's room,
And when I got you home that shit was like a honeymoon,
Over the threshold, then we swing an episode,
Thinking to myself, yo I know we'll get this money soon,
So I ain't gotta ask if you're still down,
I tell you how I feel, you show me how it sounds,
I know it always hurts when I'm out of town,
But you never got a frown
(I'll never leave you)
Chorus
Verse 2:
Yeah, blunted lips, we done ran through 100 zips,
The only one who made a sound when they cuffed my wrists,
Made bail, so you know who I'mma come and get,
You might take me for a loop but we come to grips,
It's just reality, no fantasy or make believe,
Your lovin' has no latency, I never have to wait to see,
Logic and Reason lead me to believe you're made for me,
Downstairs, neighbors bangin' on the ceiling angrily,
But they don't know what it feels like to be inside ya,
You got me in your memory, it's deeper than vagina,
A snake can never come between us cuz they stay behind ya,
I'll split it 8 ways before one ever tries to bite ya,
16 bit me back in the day, you panned out a panacea that attacked the decay,
Looking back at it, it's magical it happened that way,
So no random model chick can come and snatch me away,
I'll never leave you
Chorus
And though you were not my first, I know this will last,
You're my future, no matter how much has past,
You've been there for me, even when I didn't hear for you,
And freshen the old, more than I ever knew
