you the love of my life

the anticipation arose as time froze

i stared off the stage with my eyes closed and dove

into the deep cosmos

the impact pushed back

the first five rows

but before the raw live shows

i remember i'se a little snot-nosed

rockin gazelle

goggles and izod clothes

learnin the ropes of ghetto survival

peepin out the situation i had to slide through

had to watch my back my front plus my sides too

when it came to gettin mine i ain't tryin

to argue

sometimes i wouldn'ta made it if it wasn't for you

hip-hop

you the love of my life and that's true

when i was handlin the shit i had to do

it was all for you

from the door for you

speak through you

gettin paper on tour for you

from the start

thought was down by law for you

used to hit up every corner store wall for you

we ripped shit

and kept it hardcore for you

i remember late nights

steady rockin the mic

hip-hop

you the love of my life

so tell the people like that y'all

and it sounds so nice

hip-hop

you the love of my life

we bout to take it to the top. yo

yo i was speakin

to my guy 'riq and

how she was desperately seekin to organize in a konfusion

usin

no protection

told h.e.r. on _resurrection_

caught in the hype williams

and lost h.e.r. direction

gettin eight/ate in sections where i wouldn't eat h.e.r. an under the counter love

so _silent_-ly i _treat_ h.e.r. her daddy'll beat h.e.r. eyes all puff-ed

in the mix on tape

niggaz had her in the buff

when we touch

it was more than just a fuck

the police

in her i found peace

like malcolm in the east

seen h.e.r. on the streets of new york

trickin off

tried to make a hit with h.e.r. but my dick went soft

movin weight

losin weight

not picky - with who she choose to date

to confuse the hate

with her struggle i relate

close to thirty

most of the niggaz she know is dirty

havin more babies than lauryn

she started showin early

as of late i realized

that this is h.e.r. fate

or destiny that brings the best of me

it's like god is testin me

in _retrospect_ i see she brought _life_ and death to me

peace to us collectively

live and direct when we perform

it's just coffee shop chicks and white dudes

over h.e.r. i got into it with that nigga ice cube

now the fight moved to in life

makin the right moves

besides god and family

you my life's jewel
