[Intro]
Aye how long has it been now, sweetheart?
13 long years, babe.
& u good still, bonita?
Always, babe!
[Hook x2]
Could of fooled me
When they said (I'd never make it!)
She know now tho ugh
(Ugh yeah she know!)
No 1 will mimick, touch or change
My flow ugh yeah
This is 4 all them haters
Who said, I'd never make it
Now I know I ain't the easiest
To get along with or even live with
I came from rough & rugged mean streets
& she didn't hold it against me
& when it looked like I was gonna
Take a turn for the worst
She guided me, comforted me
Sheltered & forgave me
& all still without hold'n anything against me
She saw me at the brink
& didn't even blink
& that type of love
Always makes a man think
[Hook]
[V2]
Even tho I equate all old school love songs
2 fakes, Jakes & abusers
I've still never forgotten the vibe
Late night starry nights
Reminiscing on everything
That seems like we've lost
Cause society is just so cooked
But that all seems to disapate
When I be Smell'n what she be cook'n
Use 2-B just as lost in the same darkness
& now I get lost in just how long it's been
[Hook]
[V3]
I know where I'd be without U
& it's the saddest thot 2 ever have
So about half way thru
I made a choice, a decision
& even tho Life, the Devil & Fate
Will have u believe'n that this is it
I've still never regretted post'n up
Under that light post like a ghost
Feel'n like the past couldn't ever change
But just look at me now
Look at us now
All sounded like stories
Now it's all the haters who
Couldn't get their stories straight
& still can't & sum times I just can't
& since being with U, bonita
There ain't been nothing
That I couldn't hold my head up
& charge right thru & so what
I left all them haters in the past
This love of ours was meant for sum thing so much more
& just exactly what that is
Only time'll tell & that's right where
I plan on being as long as
Yer right here with me
[Hook]
[Outro]
Ever since I met U & U showed me
What true love is
I have no love for any other
& like the notebook
I love U forever & ever
