I'm the illest Cause I'm the illest Yeah, say it (say it) uh-huh I gotta be a ill nigga, with no denyin How the FUCK I get this crowd movin without even tryin? Made it out the projects, against all odds

I'm drowning in the pain Breaking down again Looking for a lifeline Is there anybody out there? Can you pull me from this ocean of despair? When I was a boy I didn't care 'bout a thing It was me and this world and a broken dream

All I ask is If this is my last night with you Hold me like I'm more than just a friend Give me a memory I can use Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do It matters how this ends 'Cause what if I never love again? Look, don't get me wrong I know

As we were, so perfect, so happy Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned The music played with a calming frequency The speakers gently seeped the sound of ambient keyboards and light percussion Creating a seductive

One two three four five Six seven eight nine ten Now in Spanish, then in French We'll say that twice again We love you all (also forwards) I'll be gone about a week Oh, by the way, I brought brought her pillow
