[Intro: Nas, Mariah Carey & Joe]
Uh, yeah, Cluemanati
MC to the J-O-E
Make it last
Nastradamus remix
Let's make it last forever
For the world
Make it real, baby
Uh, Desert Storm, baby
Uh, check it
Thank God I found you
This for you

[Verse 1: Nas, Mariah Carey & Joe]
Let's show the world you're my golden girl
When we shoppin', they see us on the streets
They say, "Son, scooped a hot one"
You taste like banana cake
You shaped like the number eight (What?)
And you my number one candidate
I can't lose you, it's like I'm bettin' in Vegas, crucial
Sweatin', knowin' these players is wantin' you, Boo
I get the chills when you in my sight
Feels like it's meant to be right
Thank God I found you
I feel a rush when I kiss you at night, uh

[Verse 2: Joe]
Shorty knows she my baby girl and
Player haters try hard to get her
But she'll be lounging in my cradle tonight, oh
Typically a thug wouldn't say this
But you see, your love has got me faded
No girl ever made me feel like you do, oh

[Verse 3: Mariah Carey]
Hmm, I'ma be here night after night to
Feel your loving arms around me
Baby, baby, baby, baby, you make it alright
No one but you, baby, can make me feel
The way you make me, make me, make me feel, oh

[Chorus: Mariah Carey, Joe & Nas]
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Make it last
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Don't our let our love end
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Oh, don't you let it end
Make it last forever and ever
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Thank God I found you

[Verse 2: Joe, Mariah Carey, Both]
Your touch is wonderful (So wonderful)
Your love is so marvelous
Joy, that's what I feel
When I'm with you, yeah (Yeah)
Nothing, no one (No one, boy)
Could compare to what we have (Oh no, baby)
Love, it feels so good
I'm so glad you're mine, oh

[Chorus: Mariah Carey, Joe & Nas]
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Make it last forever
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Don't our let our love end (No, no, no, no, no, no)
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Oh, don't you let it end
Make it last forever and ever
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Thank God I found you

[Bridge: Nas, Mariah Carey & Joe]
What? A thug's dream wife, jeans tight, beautiful skin
Matching brown Timbs, hot as jalapenos
She knows how to hide the ninos
The rap Rudolph Valentino
In beef I become the black Al Pacino
Relax, sweetie, in Benz you could watch the TV
Or lay back and pump Mariah's hot CD
And I'ma touch you in the wrong places
Or we could walk through the park
In our bubble north faces, I'm lost in your love
Thank God I found you, you my crown jewel
I'm sayin', boo, the type I give my last name to
Make it last
At Lover's Lane, put the top up
When it start to rain in the parkin' lot
Then we finish doing our thing
Fog the windows, gettin' very sentimental
Sippin' Cosmos with the cherry in the middle
I keep it honest, word to Will, that's my promise
Signin' off, truly yours, Nastradamus
Thank God I found you

[Chorus: Mariah Carey, Joe & Nas]
Thank God I found you, thank you, Lord
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, don't you let it end
Make it last, oh baby
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
See, I was so lost without your love
I was lost without you
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
My every wish and dreams became reality
Thank God I found you
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last, 2000
Make it last
Nastradamus
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Mariah, uh, uh Cluemanati, uh to the J-O-E
My baby I'm so thankful
Thank God for you baby, that's right
Thank God I found you
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Thank God I found you
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
I was so lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
My sunshine, my whole life
Make it last forever, baby
We make it last, make it last
We make it last, make it last
Thank God I found you

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
