[Intro: T-Boz, with Chilli (Ne-Yo)]
This goes out to forever
Through sunshine or the rainiest weather
And no matter what it will always be us together (TLC)

[Verse 1: T-Boz]
I said if I got nothin' else
I got memories of what we felt
I sit up laughing to myself
Sometimes, about it
Those silly reasons we would fight
But no matter who was wrong or right
We were always right there
Sharing this love, sharing this life

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli]
Cause we knew
Said we always knew
That no matter what would occur
That we were
Meant to be (Ayyy)

[Chorus]
And it ain't gonna be easy (Ayyy)
But no matter what, baby we're meant to be (Ayyy)
And we ain’t never not known that
We were always meant to be
Meant to be

[Verse 2: T-Boz, with Chilli]
And though, it'll get dark sometimes we know
Every now and then it's got to rain
But when that rain starts to pound
All you gotta do is turn around
And you'll find me right there
Holding you up, holding you down

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli, with T-Boz (T-Boz)]
Cause we knew (Cause we knew)
Said we always knew
That no matter what would occur
That we were
Meant to be (Ayyy)

[Chorus]
And it ain't gonna be easy (Ayyy)
But no matter what, baby we're meant to be (Ayyy)
And we ain’t never not known that
We were always meant to be
Meant to be

[Bridge: Chilli]
From the moment we met
Meant to be
Through the sorrow, through the stress
Meant to be through life and through death
Hey, we've built a love that nothing can test
Meant to be, yeah

[Chorus (Chilli, T-Boz, together)]
And it ain't gonna be easy (Said, it won't be easy, no)
But no matter what, baby we're meant to be (Meant to be, yeah)
And we ain’t never not known that
We were always meant to be
Meant to be, yeah

And it ain't gonna be easy (Said, it ain't gonna be easy)
But no matter what, baby we're meant to be (We were, we were)
And we ain’t never not known that
We were always meant to be
Meant to be (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

And it ain't gonna be easy (Said, it ain't gonna be easy)
But no matter what, baby we're meant to be (We were, we were)
And we ain’t never not known that
We were always meant to be (Always)
Meant to be

[Outro: T-Boz]
Always
Meant to be
Yeah, haha

TLC

TLC is a trio whose musical repertoire spans over R&B, hip-hop, soul, pop, rock, funk, and new jack swing.

Consisting of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, rapper-singer Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, TLC found unprecedented success in the 1990s, not only as a musical group, but also for an extensive series of high profiled spats with the law, each other, and with their record label—all of which helped to solidify them as one of the definitive recording acts to emerge during the aforementioned time span.

The group, which is in fact the highest-selling girl group in America with 65 million records sold, is known for tackling important social issues in their music such as AIDS awareness, violence, domestic abuse, anorexia, bulimia, sexism, racism, and homophobia.
