VERSE 1
IT'S HIS WAY OF LIVIN'
WHO AM I TO TELL HIM
THAT WHAT HE'S DOIN'JUST AIN'T RIGHT
STANDING ON THE CORNER HUSTLIN'
ALL DAY GAMBLIN' UNDER THE STREET LIGHTS
EVEN THOUGH HE'S THUGGIN'
I LOVE HIM
AND I WANT HIM IN MY LIFE

CHORUS
NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I'M GONNA LOVE HIM ANYWAY
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

VERSE 2
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 CAUSE IT'S MY LIFE
AND EVEN THOUGH HE'S THUGGIN'
I LOVE HIM (SHE LOVES HIM)
AND I WANT HIM IN MY LIFE (LIFE)

CHORUS

BRIDGE
SO WHAT YOU SAYIN,I CAN'T LOVE HIM
CAUSE HE'S A HUSTLER OUT HERE THUGGIN'
I KNOW YOU'RE WAITIN', SITTIN'AROUND HOPIN' THAT 5-O COME AND TAKE HIM AWAY
WELL EVEN IF THEY DO
I'LL REMAIN TRUE TO LOVE HIM
IN THE END

SAID I'LL BE A LOVER, A FRIEND, A SOLDIER, TIL THE END
AND THAT'S HOW IT'S GONNA BE, YEAH

CHORUS 2X AND FADE
