Love and Hip-Hop

Used to sneak in the basement to get a better glimpse of you Listening to your voice to have a better sense of you Made my heart race would confide in you when in a dark place Switched your tone swiftly when I touched the crossfade I love how you never gave a fuck about fitting in Hardcore and playful yet still militant I would take you everywhere that I would go The chemistry we shared together was real powerful You would uplift me we learned to compliment each other well Reminisce when we would kick it in the crib with brother L Doing us no fucks about what anyone say Always believed we'd build an empire together one day Even moved to the 718 we both grown You missed it it was time we moved back closer to home To get that feeling back back when the passion was raw When we would just vibe and find happiness in a song But girl I see you changed Still my love remains the same (It's Love and Hip-Hop) Gave it all up in your name But somehow became estranged (and you don't stop) But girl I see you changed Still my love remains the same (It's Love and Hip-Hop) Gave it all up in your name But somehow became estranged (and you don't stop) She would provide the vibe and the rhythm we would ride with We were swinging at times I would 9 to 5 it Always saw her sliding with some other artists Bi-sexual at times she said my mind was too intellectual She fell in love with bad boys and jail birds Swear words they would censor when she talked over the air This girl was the life of the party could hardly keep up Was turned on she noticed then she would call me a cheater Every other month her style would switch though She was an older chick though bi-polar shorty was skitzo She used to skip rope now she digital Cats used to trick on her now they rub her titties And they skip on her She only talk about bread we used to have deep talks We lost touch I even thought she was dead Then one night she rang the bell face flooded with tears I fucked her in the hall and bust a nut under the stairs But girl I see you changed Still my love remains the same (It's Love and Hip-Hop) Gave it all up in your name But somehow became estranged (and you don't stop) They criticizing our relationship Maybe cause they jealous maybe they disappointed Wanna see us doing better And it feels like we be going through this every year The history we share is too deep for us to see clear Frustrating but its electric when we connect We switch the energy inside the room We have that effect People rooting for us both to succeed Those who know agree that we be representing What the culture would need No sleep traveled around the globe you and me Would get it popping just about anywhere you could think But for some what we rep is unacceptable All I know is that bond we be sharing together is inseperable Laid together got paid together And the mark we leave behind will undoubtedly stay forever Its all facts you my first lady Let's stick it through For better or for worse and drive the world crazy Just me and you baby But girl I see you changed Still my love remains the same (It's Love and Hip-Hop) Gave it all up in your name But somehow became estranged (and you don't stop)
