Wasn’t for You De La Soul

(Just talk about you) {*2X*}

[Dove] cause
She ride cause her testament has been day one
A nigga got trust cause she been day one
Day one's done, build a fam Bruce Lee
So we K-I-S the BS goodbye
Damsel in distress so I stress good guy
Tarzan and Jane more like Bonnie and Kareem
Could you be my sugar water, tonic and cream?
Put the deen in my yard, like religion and king
And ding (and *DING*) diamond you a sight
Like unidentified rims spinnin in the night
Me without your balance just wouldn't sit right
Like written wouldn't be past tense without ten

[Chorus]
If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you {*4X*}

[Pos]
Hey, because of you my little lady named fame
People spot me like nerves spot pain
You put the S on my chest and inside my veins
Before that this darkie had to smile for them to see me
Now them same kids that used to diss wanna be me
Due to me bein down with you
Hooked up in eighty-two plus six when you gave me my fix
You fixed my house and bankin accounts
You fixed me up with too many women to count
Only right for you to have your side niggas too
And even when you don't come back
At least when you was here for me the world cheered for me
