Meant To Be

Lyrics

Yo, some things just have a funny way of working out, life always has so many surprises in store, time after time, day after day, we just gotta be on the lookout for it [Verse 1] She was a dark skinned beautiful, not exactly what I was used to But I just couldn't let this one go Wanted each other for a long time, before grade 9 But we thought those kiddie feelings would pass I left for school, she left to pursue life more What was in store neither one of us would know Wrote letters, sent cards, mind states of soulmates Airport pickups with no questions asked Both home now, she with family issues, me my own spot Swooped her when she needed time to clear her head Held each other all night, spoke 'til sunrise Laughing and expressing what was bottled up for years Spilled emotions [?] glasses, belly butterflies of passion emerged first, I-love-you's were said Never knew that those words could feel so real With a smile on my face, kid, I almost shed tears [Chorus] We were meant to be, you and me One soul, one mind, one lifetime Together forever, forever together Together forever, forever yo We were meant to be, you and me One soul, one mind, one lifetime Together forever, forever together Together forever, forever yo [Verse 2] We're a couple now, my parents cool, hers not Didn't like the idea of her sleeping at my place And I could understand, she's a woman, I'm a man So I know what the scenario probably reflected But we never got physical, maybe kissed and that's it And I had respect, see I could wait to get my taste We were constantly accused, tried it once, didn't do it Couldn't buy into the lifestyle our lifestyle suggested Stood our ground, our love kept us satisfied at first Just happy to be together with no limits Nights out around town, dinners, movie, park walks, occasional spats Nothing big, glad she was my lady Then on one night that we chose in my bedroom under moonlight We became one, eliminating thick sexual tension Learned each other's bodies well over time, even got crazy Then she told me that she was having my baby [Chorus] We were meant to be, you and me One soul, one mind, one lifetime Together forever, forever together Together forever, forever yo We were meant to be, you and me One soul, one mind, one lifetime Together forever, forever together Together forever, forever yo [Verse 3] Kid on the way, tell parents and friends Get prepared to take care of the life we created I was excited, she was really depressed Knew our lives would take a drastic turn of direction But we got through it, she moved in Now I was always there and to glee, her depression slowly faded Even though I hate 3am store-runs for cravings, still noticed the depth of our new connection Loved to see her smile, the glow emitted gave angelic greatness Searched for a halo whenever she slept God's pride and joy in my arms is what I felt When he kicked, praised her for living and holding life Every time we touched, I felt chills, her eyes mirrored mine To have someone like this, I knew I was blessed On the 20th, I had a show that evening Mid-set, brought her on stage and asked if she'd be my wife [Chorus] We were meant to be, you and me One soul, one mind, one lifetime Together forever, forever together Together forever, forever yo We were meant to be, you and me One soul, one mind, one lifetime Together forever, forever together Together forever, forever yo
