(The L! The L! The L!) Is it fair was it love, that took away Kazemi and McNair
If it was, then I'm scared of love
(The O! The O! The O!) Uh! Money, sex, drugs your addiction
I know some niggas that succeded in love or prison
(And the V! And The V! And The V!) Like Vanessa love Kobe
That's the kind of love you got to show me you know me
(The E! The E! The E!) Through it all tell it all books and gossip

[Verse Four: Jadakiss]
EH-HAAAAAH!! Uh, yeah, yo...
Your best friend or your enemy it's all chemistry
Ain't even the outside, diggin the enemy
Even when I did somethin wrong you pretend to be (...nice)
Then you started sayin all these things that offended me (Right?)
I just let it ride though ma cause I been a G
You only live once though, and you 'gon remember me (mwah!)
I don't mind sayin I love her
Cause her mouth is sayin one thing, but her heart sayin another, what!

[Verse Five: Kain]
You gave me you love, was turned down again
You cried me a river, I learned how to swim (hehe)
When I wanted a touch, you wanted a friend
I died not to live with this sin
You used to say my blue eyes sang you a lullaby
The problem's that the pain made you colorblind (YEAH!)
Never mind that I'm drivin you
Cashews can't cover the tears, so she cover the tattoos
I lost..

(*Ricky, Ricky, Ricky, can't you see?)
Of course I'm bigger than the beef, tell the maid do my feet
Now my cut so crispy, shorty wanna frisk me
It's a newer model, but the top, that's history
My money is the mystery, your legs are officially mine
Got me throwin dollar signs up in Tiffany's
Next to the stones, she's the only thing flawless
Yes - one love baby, you deserve all this
(The L! The L! The L!) for the Lexus that we always push
(The O! The O! The O!) Six hundred for that onion a kush
(And the V! And The V! And The V!) That mean we livin on the verge
(The E! The E! The E!) Everyday, I hear the words
