It's 4 o'clock in the mornin'   And she ain't feelin' right   I'm on a first class trip   Through this place called life      I don't know what to do   'Cause my body's still shakin'   I know it's time to man up   And start my education      I need someone to call on   So I called on my best friend   I said, "Bro, I can't take it"   He said, "Boy, stop trippin'"      So I hung up the phone   Packed my shit and got right   I know what I gotta do now   Be a man and face life      Maybe we could work it out   'Cause you know I can't live without you   And everytime I think about it   I know a nigga can't live without you      Ain't no need to cry about it   'Cause you know I can't live without you   I even wrote a song about it   'Cause you know I can't live without you      At the beginnin' you was gone   I was stayin' with my momma   I stayed gettin' in trouble, man   Straight damn, drama      I started dancin' so I stayed out of trouble   'Cause I stayed in school, sellin' candy so my money doubled   But then you told me man, dancin' was for punks   Then you told me come and stay   And you ain't care what I want      You told me come and dance and rap with my brothers   You taught me how to love   And how to care for my brothers      And then you taught me all yo hustlin' skills   Just in case I get alone I know how to pay bills   You told me I was straight regardless of a deal   And I love you man for that 'cause you always kept it real      Maybe we could work it out   'Cause you know I can't live without you   And everytime I think about it   I know a nigga can't live without you      Ain't no need to cry about it   'Cause you know I can't live without you   I even wrote a song about it   'Cause you know I can't live without you      Now, that I made it, it feel real good   Take you out the hood   Put you on B and the block   In the middle of the woods      And it hard as it seems   You was there for me   One bedroom apartment   On 1604 number efficiency's down in Coverly      And even though I like to cheat   I'm going a love my Georgia peach   And that's a promise I'm gon' keep   To the end, never gone bend      And I can hear you tell yo friends   And I can see you on a bus   Not fussin' with yo brand new Benz   To the world, baby it's yours      I'd give you the world   'Cause you not no ordinary girl   I'm yo son, you my ol' girl   My momma, we shared for 19 years      And from the bottom   Of my foundation   I'm telling you how I feel   And I love ya      Maybe we could work it out   'Cause you know I can't live without you   And everytime I think about it   I know a nigga can't live without you      Ain't no need to cry about it   'Cause you know I can't live without you   I even wrote a song about it   'Cause you know I can't live without you      See, I fell in love with ya   Wanna raise my kids with ya   But you left me all along with tears   Drippin' down the picture      I remember the day like yesterday   May 9th to be exact   I'd do anythin' to get you back   Even though I know you ain't comin' back      I'm serious as a heart attack   Could we get it back the way it was?   'Cause I know you had some outside   Influences that pulled a plug      The reality, Junebug, girl I know   We'll always be together   I got you locked away deep in my heart   Always here forever      Maybe we could work it out   'Cause you know I can't live without you   And everytime I think about it   I know a nigga can't live without you      Ain't no need to cry about it   'Cause you know I can't live without you   I even wrote a song about it   'Cause you know I can't live without you
