Lyrics
Ay, yo, Ma, how you doin'? It's ya son now
And I picked up the mic and put the drug's down
Now I'm tryin' to do some things that'll make you proud
Instead of everytime I call it's to bail me out
(Oh why) didn't I listen to things you used to tell me
Knowin' that everything that you said would never fail me
Like "They got plans for ya"
"Ain't nothin' I can do when them law's get they hands on ya'" but I ain't listenin'
Even payin' attention, I'm just tryna get mine
Takin advantage, you workin' two jobs at the same time
Ungrateful, complaining about Nike and Polo signs
But you always come through, and what do I do, I wreck
Both ya cars, stole money from ya drawers
Sold dope out ya yard, stayed into with them laws
Tryin' to pay you back for all the stress that I caused
And always be there to give you
Whatever you want (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
Uh, uh, I said whatever you need (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
Hm, hm, I said you don't have to worry no more (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
Hm, hm, 'cause ya son will be there for you (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
Now verse two, yeah, that's for you boo
I send ya props 'cause you the only one that stuck through
When I'm upset and stressed you give me back rubs
When I'm depressed you give me head off in the bathtub, E-I!
On ya P's and Q's, on ya Q's and P's you hear my beeper goin' off and you just throw me my key's
Ain't even askin' me "yo' is it coochie or G's?"
And for that reason now you can ask me for anything
Not a for real smoker but you choke with me
Not too hot about the drinkin' but you toast with me
Livin' at ya granny house you kept the dope for me
And wouldn't hesitate to go to court for me
(Need money), my boo go and work the avenue
My boo will fuck you up if I ask her too
That's why I do the things I do
And I will always be there to give you
Whatever you want (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
Uh, uh, I said whatever you need (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
Hm, hm, I said I don't wanna lose you, no (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
'Cause you're my boo and my only one (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
I'm doin this one here for Shaun Haynes, Lashando and J.D
D Quick, Boo Gees and Fatty
(My nigga) Lil' Erv, Gino and Poochie
And everybody over on Euclid and Labade
Young Big Touch, Pooh and Big Baby
Rio, J.T. and Big Money
Herky Jerk, Wezz and Pea and Cody
J.E., K-Ug and Odie
Toe-Fa, M.J., and Cowlby
And all my soldiers down at fair ground on Monday
My Lunatic fam, Keyjuan, Murphy Lee
City Spud, T-Love and Big Lee
Yellow Mack, Slow Down, Courtney B
The rest of my nigga's up in the N.Y.C
And without Trail, Kuda and Coach it just wouldn't be
And I will always be there to give you
Whatever you want (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
Uh, uh, I said whatever you need (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
Uh, uh, 'cause y'all my nigga's for life you know (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
Uh, uh, you can always smoke with me (Don't stop ever lovin' me)
