Now the funny thing is that I never thought that I
Would ever give in till I realized
That everything I need I found in your eyes
So I stopped my soul searchin', yeah
All the girls and the games, just the same old shit
I'm puttin' it down 'cuz I'm sick of it, yes I am
'Cuz a life with you is what I'm makin'
So I decided, oh Lord, listen
I'm givin' it up
Runnin' the streets with my boys an'
Givin' it up
Steady smokin' gonna destroy me
I'm givin' it up
No more watchin' other ladies
Givin' it up
Oh yes, I'm givin' it up
Look here, I'm givin' it up
Oh, I'm givin' up my everything
Givin' it up
I'll give it up for you, baby
I'm givin' it up
I know it might sound crazy
Givin' it up
Oh yes, I'm givin' it up
Oh, I'm givin' it up for you, oh yeah
Now the chronic, I ain't even gonna lie
I love it but I put it aside for you
You worth it, yes you are
You know what？ I'll even stop cursin', yeah
I'll give up up the streets and start workin', oh yeah
Now here's a method to my thinkin'
Rather be twisted on you 'stead of creepin'
And watchin' the game, I don't need it
'Cuz you're the only all star that I'm seein'
Yes, you are, oh sugar, listen
I'm givin' it up
Runnin' the streets with my boys an'
Givin' it up
Steady smokin' gonna destroy me
I'm givin' it up
No more watchin' other ladies
Givin' it up
Oh yes, I'm givin' it up
Look here, I'm givin' it up
Oh, I'm givin' up my everything
Givin' it up
I'll give it up for you, baby
I'm givin' it up
I know it might sound crazy
Givin' it up
Oh yes, I'm givin' it up
Oh, I'm givin' it up for you, oh yeah
Some of ya'll know what I'm talkin' about
When I say I'm gonna give it up
Fellas, if you feel me
Look towards your lady and tell her
Baby, I admit it, I got a couple bad habits
But girl, I would give it all up for you, baby
Baby, I admit it, I got a couple bad habits
But girl, I would give it all up for you, baby
I'm givin' it up
Runnin' the streets with my boys an'
Givin' it up
Steady smokin' gonna destroy me
I'm givin' it up
No more watchin' other ladies
Givin' it up
Oh yes, I'm givin' it up
Look here, I'm givin' it up
Oh, I'm givin' up my everything
Givin' it up
I'll give it up for you, baby
I'm givin' it up
I know it might sound crazy
Givin' it up
Oh yes, I'm givin' it up
Oh, I'm givin' it up for you, oh yeah
2.Long Ways
Lyricist：Edward Ferrell, Keir Lamont Gist, Al Green, Clifton Lighty,

It's funny how you wake up
Say you wanna break up
You say, 'Time's out on my Jacob'
You've been watchin' and observin'
And don't know where we're goin'
You ain't got time for blowin'
It's apparent here lately
That you've been actin' shady
An' with everythin' you doin'
You ain't tryin' to involve me
You really need to stop it
We done came a long damn way
We done came a long way
From being young and in love to this real serious
We done came a long way
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
We done came a long way
From walking to the bus to two cars for us
We done came a long way
We done come a long long way
Maybe I should tighten up
Or maybe should I lighten up？
And show you that I got your back
Even though sometimes I act
Like I don't hear what you're sayin' now
Maybe I should stop playin' round
Show you I'm a real man
And hopefully you'll understand
That I ain't goin' nowhere
Ain't no need to take it there
Don't want you put them bags away
We done came a long way
We done came a long way
From a one bedroom to a maid with a broom
We done came a long way
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
We done came a long way
From meeting both of your parents and to a stroller and a
carriage
We done came a long way
We done came a long way
Sometimes it gets rough
And you go through some things
Sometimes it seems like too much
Girl, but we got to stop and think
One day I hope you wear my weddin' ring
'Cuz only you know where we've been
And you know we've come too far, yeah
'Cuz you were there
When I was set down in the ghetto
We've come too far to turn around
We done came a long way
From being young and in love to this real serious
We done came a long way
Ain't no need to break up, come to think about it
We done came a long way
From a one bedroom to a maid with a broom
We done came a long way
We done came a long long long long long long way
We done came a long way
Put your bags down, sit down, let me talk to you
We done came a long way
I'm not worried what nobody gotta say 'cause
We done came a long way
They don't know what we've been through
We done came a long way
You know and I know
We done came a long way
3.Where Were You？
Lyricist：George Duke, Keir Lamont Gist, Cliff Lighty, Stacey Lighty,
Balewa M. Muhammad, Frank Oliphant, Troy C. Taylor
Yeah, check this out
I am gonna ask you question
Where were you on that night？
See I remember
(Sugar)
I know where I was at
Let's reminisce about it
(Where were you？)
When you first heard Biggie or Pac
And you knew you were blest
With the best of hip-hop
(Where were you？)
When you first drove
A brand new Benz
Wood grain with all polished off rims
(Where were you？)
When your team came back with the ring
With your crew rolling through
You could do anything
(Where were you？)
On the night that the love of your life
Got a room making love
While the feeling inside
(Where were you？)
Close your eyes
And try to think back
On the happiest days of your life
When you felt so alive
Just sit and reminisce there for awhile
For that time how it flies
Look up in the places and places have changed
And the things you once recognized
Seem different in the twinkling of the eye
(Where were you？)
When you first heard Biggie or Pac
And you knew you were blest
With the best of hip-hop
(Where were you？)
When you first drove
A brand new Benz
Wood grain with all polished off rims
(Where were you？)
When your team came back with the ring
With your crew rolling through
You could do anything
(Where were you？)
On the night that the love of your life
Got a room making love
While the feeling inside
(Where were you？)
Tell me, do you remember
'Cuz I remember？
(Where were you？)
Where were you, you？
A fresh pair of Tims
Your very first charm on the chain
How you just couldn't just wait
Till the weekend began
Hook up with you friends and do it all again
Back when your first love was true
You had her back she had yours
Nobody dare disrespected
'Cuz all of them knew
To feel that way again
There isn't thing that you wouldn't do
When Jay put the needle to the record
Series 5 make it live with the message
And MJ had to be in a jacket
Mine was plastic ghetto
Where were you when Shaq left the Magic
Season later meet with Kobe at the Lakers？
When you first got your 2-way pager
Tell me where were you
(Where were you？)
When you first heard Biggie or Pac
And you knew you were blest
With the best of hip-hop
(Where were you？)
When you first drove
A brand new Benz
Wood grain with all polished off rims
(Where were you？)
When your team came back with the ring
With your crew rolling through
You could do anything
(Where were you？)
On the night that the love of your life
Got a room making love
(Where were you？)
(Where were you？)
When you first heard Biggie or Pac
And you knew you were blest
With the best of hip-hop
(Where were you？)
When you first drove
A brand new Benz
Wood grain with all polished off rims
(Where were you？)
When your team came back with the ring
With your crew rolling through
You could do anything
(Where were you？)
On the night that the love of your life
Got a room making love
While the feeling inside
(Where were you？)
Where were you？
Where were you？
Tell me where were you？
Tell me where you？
Tell me where you, baby？
Tell me where were you？
4.In da Ghetto
Lyricist：Edwin Serrano
Listen to my story
Everything that I wanted to do
Seems like it was hard to do
But my daddy told me, 'Son, just believe
And da things will come to you'
'And if it's in God's plan
It's gonna happen anyway
All you got to do
Is be patient and receit it one day'
Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto
Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto
So now I done came on up
To a bigger step in my life
Yeah, baby boy got a boy of his own
And some day might have a wife
'Cause da ghetto's been good to me
And Lord knows it was hard
I stood still until my chance came
Put my trust, kept my faith in God
I never thought I'd make it
To a major point in my life
'Cause every time I turn around
I see that devil in my sight
Just me and my brother
I gotta take care of mama
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto
Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto
Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto
In da ghetto
Oh, that's da way it goes
That's da way it goes
And that's da way it goes
Somebody knows that I'm talking about a
Can I get a witness out there
And that's da way it goes, oh yeah
Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto
Never thought my life would be no good
My daddy left me so alone I stood
Your baby boy is coming up in da hood
And that's da way it goes in da ghetto
