I'll Be There

[Chorus: Nneka Morton] I will always be there I always be there for you I will always be there I'll be there [Verse 1: Rakim] I'm bout to meet my comrade on the busy Ave where we clash Trying to see how much gritty cash this city has Meantime harass every bitty that pass And then here you come with your pretty ass All petite like you make ends meet on Wall Street Your for keeps couldn't find a woman more complete You got your head on tight and when you talk I like For me and you two different walks of life I'm in the streets too much I pack the heat too much Put too much trees in the Dutch and don't keep in touch You try to get in contact I don't respond back Where the god at come back smellin' like cognac Baby beware I'm tryin' my best to be fair Aye yo-the key here is repair this love we share Cause if we care we would prepare to see clear Eye to eye we here as long as you be there [Chorus: Nneka Morton] I will always be there I always be there for you I will always be there I'll be there [Verse 2: Rakim] Yo, I'm startin' to understand it you like your evenings enchanted Love is bond, organic- restaurants romantic Want me to take your hand and take you around the planet But I take advantage and take you for granted Call collect explainin' why I ain't came yet I ain't winnin' the game yet can I get a rain check Blow me a kiss in the wind, I'm missin' again Don't let your sisters and your friends tell you this is the end Talk a hole in your head puttin' bugs in your ear Make you role in your bed when your thug ain't there Somewhere around ladies know I get lonely and proud Open my file baby you should know me by now Tryin' to get paid and stay away from old sites Find my place in life plus I like to hold mics It might be seven whole days and seven whole nights But yo it's gonna be alright just hold tight [Chorus: Nneka Morton] I will always be there I always be there for you I will always be there I'll be there [Verse 3: Rakim] Who said something good won't last forever I know too much of any thing is bad, whatever Long as we have good and bad times together Bad times make the good times that much better Peaches and cream, diamonds and ice You like pieces of dreams you shinin' in the night Features of a Queen and your mind frame is tight Timin' is right get ready for the time of your life You speak about stackin' gees and havin' seeds Apparently we know it's no guarantee But losin' you boo who smooth as you You unusual this is for the cool in you And for the chill I will forever come real Your appeal makes it hard to keep my love concealed All it took was one look, one kiss, one meal Now come feel, let's make this a done deal [Chorus: Nneka Morton] I will always be there I always be there for you I will always be there I'll be there
