[Verse 1 - Kreative Tendencies]
They say live for today, live for the moment
Stay strong without her, and when you blow, then you own it
But this a little different; she more than just a flame
She more than my Bonnie; look, it's not the same thang
It's like watching yourself sleep, but you're stuck in your dreams
She another part of me, and nah, I don't understand it
It's more like an addiction: the withdrawals are uncanny
So you keep snortin', 'cause you know without her you can't function
People try to change her, but we all know it's nothin'
They all claim to sit on the throne, but we know they frontin'
She was my outlet:
Gave me feelin' when I'm down
Nah, you ain't finished yet
That's the mindstate you kept
So, Hip-Hop my love, you're forever in my debt
I don't know what I would do without ya just yet
Stay with me
One more time, just for the P.o.P. people...

[Hook - Alicia Keys]
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby?
If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful? Either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me, I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready I'm ready)
If you ask me, I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready)

[Verse 2 - Quentino]
All I ever wanted to do was hold on to you
Regardless of what they tell me:
They say, "You should never hold on to that woman;
She ain't gonna do nothin' but get you in trouble"
But I see, the mature that we grew, the more that we thought of it
Yes indeed, we already had it planned, on how it's supposed to be
Or rather how it's gonna be
Even though I had cheated on you, you know how it's gonna be
You knew that you was gonna be the last one for me
From the time that you had always stood beside me
You never left my side, and that's when I decided
That we should just go ahead and let it go
And let everything happen the way it goes
'Cause y'know what? Even you were wonderin', Let's see how things go
So we let ourselves see how it went
And now all of a sudden, here is how it went...

[Hook - Alicia Keys]
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby?
If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful? Either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me, I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready I'm ready)
If you ask me, I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready)

[Bridge - Alicia Keys]
Yeah, sing...
Why give up before we try?
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away
I can't say I came prepared
I'm suspended in the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me?

[Outro - Alicia Keys]
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby?
If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful? Either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me, I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready I'm ready)
If you ask me, I'm ready
(Echo: I'm ready)
