(Verse 1 - 2Pac)
Wassup boo
(Yeah, hahahaha)
Another shady mission, tricks
Like watching pictures in hazy vision
Tonight is love making
Take you any place you wish
Today we satisfy
Yesterday was stolen kisses
Blind insanity
Perfect pictures of me and my family
Not understanding the destiny
That they planned for me
If I have kids
Will I live to see 'em grow
Though I don't know
I live the life of a thug ni**a
Until the day I go
No broken promises
A sacred bond broken
I know I'll die alone
But yet and still I'm hoping
Visions of prisons
Maybe I'll be forgiven
I know it's better in heaven cuz
Being here ain't livin'
Close my eyes and see nothing but
Pain the world's crazy
Still lookin' for a queen to plant
Seeds and have babies
Maybe I'll be the one
Or jus maybe I'm lost
You'll never know being cautious
If you play your cardz right

(Chorus - Keyshia Cole)
I wanna be the one who
Who you can depend on who
Who'll be the one
Who'll be there
(Through the thick and thin)
Go by the water
We will be there til the morning
We won't leave until the night
And we will be forever mourned

(Verse 2 - Keyshia Cole)
No one else can do
What you do for me
Take me away from the pain
I feel inside
And it's gonna be all right
It will be okay
If we try, and take my time
Please baby, take your time
And we'll grow
Trust I know
I wanna be the one who

(Chorus)

(Talking - 2Pac)
You got to play ya cardz right, homeboy
Can't be rushin' like it's a race
You know what I'm sayin'
If you be patient
And you take your time
And you finesse it
Nine times outta ten homeboy
You're gonna wake up wit ya breakfast in bed
But if you rush
Then you'll just be man-handlin'
(Keyshia: "It takes a a real man")
Your ass goin' home tonight
Play ya cardz right, ni**a
Take your time
Be patient
Go slow
It's better that way
You ain't heard
Play ya cardz right

(Chorus)

Take your time man
Don't be in such a rush
You got to be patient man
Be patient
Hahahaha
It ain't goin' nowhere boy, haha
Get some champagne
Bring some roses or somethin', you know
Play some soft shit
(Keyshia: "Luther Vandross, Teddy, Teddy")
Light a fire
You got to be cool wit it
You got to be slow wit it
You got to be patient
You got to play ya cardz right, homeboy
Can't be rushin' like it's a race
You know what I'm sayin'
If you be patient
And you take your time
And you finesse it

(Keyshia Cole)
Yeah
I'll tell 'em to take it slow
Everybody's movin' so fast these days
Should'a listened to every word you said
They're gonna love you cuz you're beautiful
But it's another reason why they wanna hurt you
But you know
Rest in peace, bruh.
