Brown Sugar movie - Love Of My Life (An Ode To Hip Hop) lyrics

rate me

Song by Erykah Badu / Common<br /><br>

Right here what we gon' do is go back<br>

Way back, oooh way back yeah<br>

<br>

I met him when I was a<br>

A little girl he gave<br>

He gave me poetry<br>

He was my first<br>

But in my heart I knew I<br>

Wasn't the only one<br>

Cause when the tables turned<br>

He had to break<br>

<br>

(Hook)<br>

But whenever I got lonely<br>

Or needed some advice<br>

He gave me his shoulder<br>

His words were very nice<br>

But that is all that I need,<br>

Cause now there is no other<br>

My love is his and his is mine,<br>

My friend became the<br>

<br>

(Chorus)<br>

Love of my life<br>

You are my friend<br>

Love of my life<br>

I can depend<br>

Love of my life<br>

Without ya baby <br>

Feels like a simple true love<br>

Yeah oh [?] didn't clear<br>

<br>

(Common)<br>

Uh freak freak y'all and ya don't stop<br>

Uh to the beat y'all and ya don't stop<br>

Uh freak freak<br>

<br>

Or would it be that it was<br>

All just so simple then<br>

A teenage love but you say<br>

He's just a friend<br>

He moved around and we kept<br>

In touch through his friend Mike<br>

The world was younger and we knew<br>

We couldn't rush<br>

<br>

(Hook)<br>

<br>

(Chorus)<br>

<br>

Y'all know how I met her<br>

We broke up and got back together<br>

To get her back I had to sweat her (sweat her)<br>

Thought she roll wit bad boys forever<br>

In many ways them boys made her better<br>

To grow I had to let her (let her)<br>

She needed cheddar and I understood that (that)<br>

Lookin' for cheese that don't make her a hood rat (rat)<br>

In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me<br>

I love it when she sings to me<br>

It's like that and a<br>

<br>

(Cuts trough last two lines)<br>

(Love of my life)<br>

Ooh you know you rock my world <br>

(Love of my life)<br>

And you be boy and I'll be girl <br>

(Love of my life)<br>

And we don't stop until the break of dawn<br>

(Love of my life) <br>

Ooh you know you rock my world <br>

(Love of my life)<br>

And you be boy and I'll be girl <br>

(Love of my life)<br>

And we don't stop until the break of oohhh<br>

<br>
