Sincerity

[Intro: DMX]

Uh

[Verse 1: DMX]

Now there's two ways we can do this, keep it real or front

I know you got what I need and I got what you want

And the hunt for soulmates is all over for us

We could go away where nobody would know it was us

Leave behind all the fuss, the studios, pictures

No autographs, just laughs when I'm wit' ya

I know what it's like when they know you now

But bark at your dog, baby, and I'll hold you down

[Verse 2: Mary J. Blige]

Time and time and time again

I knew that our love had to end

But now it's gone so very far

That I can make a brand new start

I thought that we were meant to be

Be one big family

But I was weak and loved you still

No matter what you did, I could forgive

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]

All I need is sincerity (All I need)

All I need is sincerity

[Verse 3: Mary J. Blige]

Thinkin' 'bout you all the time, never seemed to cross my mind

How you could take the time to kill everything our love had built

I never knew how you could hide every time you told a lie

But now I know why you're so cold but I don't understand

Now that you set me free, I truly think that we

Could find love separately, I need sincerity

One thing I'm not is weak, I'll always stand alone

But my heart is not made of stone, so I'll go on, on

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]

All I need is sincerity (All I need is sincerity, all I need)

All I need is sincerity

[Refrain: Mary J. Blige]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 4: Nas]

Chipped tooth don

Nasty, blue ice Timbs on

Screwface, half moon part, my tattoos dark

On a scale of tough criminals, nothing to call me

I'm a rare individual, young and I'm bossy

Guess it come from a rough life, cuffed at night

Letting off hot lead that bust from iron pipes

I'm the type that had to shed blood

Pray to the ghost of dead thugs, dead blocks that spread drugs

Fled from the cops 'til my first joint dropped

I'm still wit' my hood, hollow points still in the Glocks

But I've been shitted on by these high class hoes

Even these chickens did me wrong, I was just getting on

So I turned cold, giving 'em hard dick and straight to the hole

Like Rod Strickland, it was taking its toll

I needed someone I could hold in my darkest hours

A strong couple is a blessing and the heart is the power

Give me someone I could trust, not just a hottie to bone

Does she love Escobar or love Nasir Jones?

Let me know so I could cop her the stones

What's clear to me is sincerity

Somebody I could call my own, yeah

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]

(All I need is sincerity)

I never knew why you could hide

Every time you told a lie

I just wanna know why

(All I need is sincerity)

Oh why, oh why, oh oh why

Why oh why why why

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Refrain: Mary J. Blige]

Oh, oh, oh, oh (Is sincerity)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh (Is sincerity)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Outro: Mary J. Blige]

(All I need is sincerity)

I never knew why, never wanted to know why

Why you could hide every time you told a lie

(All I need is sincerity) All

(All I need is sincerity) All I need is sincerity

(All I need is sincerity) You, you, you and me

(All I need is sincerity) Oh, oh, oh, oh
