[Intro: 2Pac, (Keyshia Cole), Both]
(Ooh-ooh) Wassup, boo? (Yeah)
Hahahaha, yeah, that's right
[Verse 1: 2Pac, (Keyshia Cole), Both]
Another shady mission (Ooh)
Tricks, like watching pictures in hazy vision
Tonight is love making, take you any place you wish
Today we're satisfied, yesterday we've stolen kisses
Blind insanity, perfect pictures of me and my family
Not understanding the destiny, had 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 nigga until the day I go
No broken promises, a sacred bond broken
I know I die alone, but yet and still I'm hopin'
Visions of prisons, maybe I'll be forgiven
I know it's better in Heaven, 'cause bein' here ain't livin'
Close my eyes and see nothin' but pain, the world is crazy
Still, looking for a queen to plant seeds and have babies
Maybe I'll be the one or just maybe I'm lost
You'll never know being cautious, if you play your cards right
[Chorus: Keyshia Cole & (2Pac)]
I wanna be the one who (Hahaha)
Who you can depend on who (Playa cards right)
Who'll be the one who'll be there (Take your time)
(Who'll be the one) Through the thick and thin (Be patient)
Oh, go by the water, we will (Don't rush)
Be there 'til the morning
We won't leave until the night (It's goin' down)
And we will be forever more
[Verse 2: Keyshia Cole]
No one else can do what you do for me
Take me away from the pain I feel inside (I feel inside)
And it's gonna be alright and it'll be ok
If we try and take our time
Please, baby, take your time
And we'll grow, trust I know
I wanna be the one who
[Chorus: Keyshia Cole]
I wanna be the one who (Hey)
Who you can depend on who (Depend on)
Who'll be the one who'll be there (Who'll be the one?)
Through the thick and thin
Go by the water we will (Yeah, yeah)
Be there 'til the morning (We'll be there)
We won't leave until the night
And we will be forever more (Come on, yeah, over)
[Interlude: 2Pac & (Keyshia Cole)]
You gotta playa cards right on one (Ooh, yeah)
Can't be rushing like it's a race, nomsayin'? (No, no, no)
If you be patient, and you take your time (Be patient, baby)
And you finesse it, nine times out of ten times (Ten)
Homeboy, you gon' wake up with your breakfast in bed
But if you rush, and you just be manhandlin'
(It takes a real man) Yeah, go home tonight, haha
Playa cards right, nigga (Yeah)
Take your time (Yeah, be the one)
Be patient, go slow, it's better that way (Oh, yeah)
Haha, playa your cards right (Yeah, be the one)
(I wanna be the one)
[Chorus: Keyshia Cole]
I wanna be the one who (Yeah)
Who you can depend on who (Depend on)
Who'll be the one who'll be there (Who'll be the one?)
Through the thick and thin (Oh, hey)
Go by the water we will (Yeah, yeah)
Be there 'til the morning (We'll be there)
We won't leave until the night
And we will be forever more (Yeah, yeah, forever)
[Bridge: 2Pac & (Keyshia Cole)]
Take your time, nigga (Take your time)
Don't be in such a rush (In a rush)
Haha
You got to be patient, man, be patient, haha (Ooh, be so)
It ain't going nowhere one, haha (Nowhere)
Get some champagne (Haha, be forever)
Bring some roses or somethin', you know
Play some soft shit, light a fire (Luther Vandross)
You got to be cool with it (Teddy, Teddy)
You got to be slow with it (Ooh, be so)
You got to be patient, haha
You got to playa your cards right on one
Can't be rushing like it's a race, nomsayin'? (Nowhere)
If you be patient, and you take you time, and you finesse it
(Be forever)
[Outro: Keyshia Cole]
Yeah, I'll tell him to take it slow
Everybody's movin' so fast these days
Shoulda listened to every word you said
They gon' you love you 'cause you beautiful
But it's another reason why they wanna hurt you
But you know, rest in peace, bruh
