[Intro: Raekwon (Tekitha)]
Chill, nigga, chill..
Get some rest, man, come on, man
Stop playin' wit' me, man
(ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhh ohhhhh)

[Chorus: Tekitha]
Baby... I had a love that would ignite all the fire
The desire would be, for you I'd admire
But lately... you seemed more corrupt
I've had enough and it forced me to hide under covers
Drove me to arms of another

[Raekwon]
Gold on top of goose-down sheets, kissed her on the neck
Real love, hope this ain't the last time we meet
Felt like a King who had a Queen want him
I usually deserve hotels, this one's the gift, slid on her
Eye-to-eye contact, body movement, all on the grind
A lady's starin' at me, all in my mind
Sayin', "Boo, I gotta live with you, let's connect and be a bridge"
You stay three forths and I'ma wiz you

[Tekitha]
Some months ago.. you came to me
And told me... you'd love me forever..
Some time has passed.. and lonely days
Have rid it's head now.. stormy weather
But out of the rain.. came some delight
I ain't ashamed.. I know it's right
The way that I'm feelin'...
He touches me.. in ways I like..
Says things you won't.. both day or night..
Givin' me healin.. I'm leavin'..
cuz you wanted to know.. that is the reason..

[Chorus]

[Tekitha]
The only set back in my state of grace
Is that.. the love is real.. for you and him
In different ways.. and..
You're out in space.. he's here on Earth, it's fun to play
I wish you were present so my love wouldn't go astray
And he gives what I need..
Quenches my thirst when you say "Girl, please"
That's a waste of my breath..
And it's funny to me.. that you get upset..
And I told you quite often
I would fill up the space.. did ya think I was talkin'
out the side of my neck...
You left me alone, what did you expect?

[Chorus]

[Raekwon]
Dead in my sleep, she's standin' over the kid
I'm terrified, shorty was deep
I had my hand in her account plus livin' in a lab
Like a Count, I had to go six shorties was pink yo
She had the yolk on me that's when I went broke
We used to flip coke together, get roasted and float
We spent real bread, we was large
We had our weddin' in the garage
And then she stopped reviewin' my bars
Hold up..

[Chorus]

[Tekitha]
Heeeeeeyyyyyy... yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh
Forever.. ohhhhhhh bbbbaaaaaaabbbbbbbbyyy
Ohhhhhhh yyyyyooooouuuuuu yyyyyyyyyyoooooooouuuuu

[Chorus to the fade]
