[JD]

Girl listen

When I be sittin' at home all by myself now

I be sayin' damn I had a good girl

You know?

You don't even realize how hard it is

To find somebody like you till they gone

You know what I mean?

If you'll let me just, come back in your life

I-I'll never do it again, I promise



[JE]

Down at the studio trying to make tracks

Girl at home all over my back

Everytime I say that's what I'm doing

She just thinks it's an excuse

Cause I'm out try-na get some new snatch

Now I realize that I don't work too hard

To keep her in my life, I've done came to far

For me to turn around girl

Ain't none of that shit going down girl

So believe me when I say



1 - Girl you know you're the only one in my life

I know I've been wrong

But I'm try-na live right

I'll give my life if it makes it right

I promise, girl I promise, I promise



2 - I promise

I'mma stay out of these streets

I promise

You'll never be hurt by me

I promise

To be the n-i-g

when your cold and alone you can get at me

I promise

That wasn't in my head

I promise

You ain't gotta worry about me

No more, no more

Girl just believe, I promise



[JD]

I promise baby, I'mma be the best man

I don't even know how to be

I promise no more Monday nights at the gentleman's club

It's all about you



[JE]

Believe I really meant it when I said I left it back

See me in the streets and I'm not about that

Said that I'mma be there and I know maybe you can see

That I'mma be there

Whenever just cause you're my lady

I'mma show you just what you deserve

Tell you, you ain't waitin' no more for your turn

You say you want a ridah

And I can be that and so much more like your provider

And I want you to know I love you



Repeat 1



Repeat 2



[Loon of Harlem World]

Uh check it out, girl I promise you love

Promise I never would leave you

I promise long as you love me I could never decieve you

I promise you this, promise you that

Whatever you want

As long as I got it, ain't no problem with that

You my ebony queen, everything

Playa ever could dream

Give you the world and everything in between

Now you wanted honesty, manogamy

The way that you honor me

Ain't no other way it gotta be

I couldn't see you with another man rolling in sand

Strolling through the park, in the dark holding his hand

Me and you versus the world is only the plan

I know it get rough, but I'm doing all that I can

Now to the world I'm just Loon from Harlem

If I had a choice girl I'd rather lose then Star*dem

Than to ever lose you, I promise I'll never use you

This not a game girl, I promise



Repeat 2 (3x)



[JD]

Come on, come on, come on

Rock with me, uh we love y'all

Yeah, uh-huh

This for the ladies, know what I mean?
