This is where I'm living
Who am I to tell him
That what he's doing
Just ain't right
Standing on the corner
Hustling all daydamn
On the street lights
Even though he's thugging, I love him
And I want him in my life

No matter what people say
I'm gonna love him anyways
Cause he does a lot for me
And that is why I'm gonna be
A lover
A friend
A soldier
Til the end
And that's how it's gonna be

Mother and my father, don't understand me
They think I messed up my life
But I don't agree
They need to mind their business
Cuz it's my life
And even though he's thuggin, I love him (she loves him)
And I want him in my life ( life)

No matter what people say
I'm gonna love him anyways
Cause he does a lot for me
And that is why I'm gonna be
A lover
A friend
A soldier
Til the end
And that's how it's gonna be

So what you saying, I can't love him
Cuz he's a hustler out her thuggin
I know you're waiting
Sitting around hoping
That 5 0 come and take him away

Well even if they do
I remain true to love him

No matter what people say
I'm gonna love him anyways
Cause he does a lot for me
And that is why I'm gonna be
A lover
A friend
A soldier
Til the end
And that's how it's gonna be
