[4th Avenue Liberty Jones`]
I never planned that I`d be married to settle no chance (yeaah)
Wedding bands rock the heaviest metal
And I`m the center hip hop
My M3 seat three, don`t need comission (that`s right)
So either we rhyme or design the beat to flip with
Don`t stick with music cuz I hand lose it
It seranades me while I land cruise it
If I`m stressed or soothing
Something I can make the fans move with
Said I be singing til I saw you was like Man, who dis?
While JD Mingle be gettin at you with a brand new twist
Switchin my linger, wishin I could be the one you cling to
I ask you for you number maybe I can ring you
Six months later when I`m sick my baby bringin me food
Hang with the fellas I said Mainly, I`ll be hangin wit you
Ready to have that satisfaction of you saying I do (yeaaaah)
Since you finally did it, now we together mind, body, spirit
That`s something can`t no body interfere with, for life (for life)
[Chorus 1: K-Ci] x2
4 Life
My Wife 4 Life
You say, Yes
Yes you will be my wife
My wife my wife
[4th Avenue Liberty Jones`]
I bet you be strapped at point little pubs
Said she never give her number out to dudes in the clubs
That`s the boogees and acceptions cuz she`s showing me love
Body bangin like the county but I avoid the rub
Prolly to use to dudes jockin, all I asked was a hug
So she slid me the digits, mashed out in a Bug
A couple months pass, and we the item `round town
But I`m feelin like the worm, like she just want me for the rebound
She fresh outta - relationships that only got her - heartache and pain
Frustrated because of drama
I`m look at your face picturing kids and I can see em
Til death do us part we got the match and mazzaliam
On poppa`s DM, I`ll put you in the chrome BM
You different from the rest you love God and MCing
Whether it be tattoo, rings or bling (bling)
50 karat, you my wife 4 life, we got our backs and it`s apparent
[Chorus 1: K-Ci] x2
4 Life
My Wife 4 Life
You say, Yes
Yes you will be my wife
My wife my wife
[Interlude: K-Ci]
So ya heard
When I asked
That night you`d be my wife
Not for this year or next
But mine for all life (that`s right that`s right)
To accept me when I`m seein
And to understand
Not to make this dim in the rain
Which comes as hard as any
I`m not the best of men
My fault has come scarse tonight
But my heart has always - been to give to my wife
Yes you are baby (ah, ah, Tina Jones)
[Tina Jones of 4th Avenue Liberty Jones`]
Tina Jones, been picky bout men, don`t want some common fella
Contaminatin me like salmanila
Workin undercover like my rhyme umbrella
Keepin it shady, I`m not going for it though, not even maybe
Showin proof to you the difference from a rag and from a lady
I can do for myself, makin my bacon living gravy
And thankin the Lord, cuz more importantly he saved me
I shot for the moon - lookin for comets like I`m Haley
I found me a star companionship is what it gave me
I`m beautiful too, and not because my hair is wavy, that`s my baby
I said
[Chorus 2: Tina Jones] x2
4 Life
Your Wife 4 Life
I say, Yes
Yes, I will be your wife
Your wife your wife
[Chorus 1: K-Ci] x2
