[Intro: Da Brat]
I got one for the money
I got two for the bass
I got three to get you goin' baby
'Cause da brats in da place
And it don't stop, uh, and it don't quit
Yeah, like that, uh, and it don't stop
And it don't quit like that

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
We were as one, baby
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you wanna be free
So I'll let you fly
'Cause I know in my heart, baby
Our love will never die, np

[Chorus : Xscape with Mariah Carey]
You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh, darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're ever gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
I ain't gonna cry, no
And I won't beg you to stay
If your determined to leave, boy
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably, you'll be back again
'Cause you know in your heart, baby
Our love will never end, no, no

[Chorus: Xscape]
You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're ever gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

[Bridge : Xscape & Mariah Carey]
I know that you'll be back, boy (No, no)
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder
(When your days and your nights get a little bit colder)
I know that you'll be right back baby
Oh baby believe me it's only a matter of time

[Verse 3: Da Brat]
Who brings the ruckus and the pain like me?
It's evident, tha residents of So So Def
Got the industry on lock, where outsiders can't enter
Ever since the arrival of this West Side representer
Who rocks your Music Box and breaks down your structure
You fantasize as you visualize me as your Dreamlover
With your emotions unplugging your daydream face Reality
Reason through mc's, Inflicting fatalities
Ain't no cap on my salary, I'm gettin' g's
If you heard of me's, then you know that we's makin' g's
Let's Xscape with Mariah Carey and me to tha back
Steady stacking papers, smokin' on fat stacks of danks
See, to some I'm a hero of this feel on file, but that's my style
And they don't pay me, nor can they fade me
So what I do is keep it true and real for my peeps in that street 'Cause to them, I'ma always be their baby

[Break: Xscape & Da Brat]
May we always be together
In the sands of time
And it don't stop, and it don't quit
And it don't stop, uh, and it don't quit

[Chorus : Xscape & Mariah Carey]
You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
You and I will always be
You and I will always be
You and I will always be
No way you're never gonna shake me
No way you're never gonna shake me
You and I - we'll always be

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.
