[Intro]
She said, “We had everything, you and me
We were supposed to be the greatest thing to ever be
But now, baby, what exactly are you tellin’ me?
That we weren’t meant to be?
That it wasn’t destiny?”
He said, “You need to sit back and relax, girl
This ain’t some fairy tale, come back to the real world
You and me could never work, Maria
I’m sorry, but you’ve got the wrong idea...”

[Verse One]
She stared at him, eyes incredulous with disbelief
Pupils dilated, skin pale, colorless cheeks
Makeup all over her eyes, black river flow
He swore this seemed so much better a minute ago
They had been friends for a long ass time
Five years, secrets exchanged, interwoven minds
But they were so distant, separated by miles
Even though he lives in 503 and she in 505
They spent time, champagne and different wines
Tipsy embrace, lips and tongues tied
Caught up in the moment, from the juice of the vines
But then he apologized and it left her cryin’
Signs of her attraction when she moved her behind
He gave it little thought ‘cause he was on his grind
But he was on her mind, while they livin’ different lives
She'd lock herself in her bedroom and fantasize

[Hook]
All it takes is a bit of time (time)
To plant the seeds of anything within a mind (mind)
Emotions run deep, we constantly fantasize
’Til we start living in our own lies (lies) I said
All it takes is a bit of time (time)
To plant the seeds of anything within a mind (mind)
Emotions run deep, we constantly fantasize
’Til we start living in our own lies (lies)

[Interlude]
Brian McDougall, the youngest of the young
Growin’ up in the ghetto, the slummiest of the slums
He beat a couple youngin’s, now he’s feelin’ himself
While all the hard cats at school sayin’ ,”He is a bum”
But they all didn’t see it, what he would become
A loud-mouthed kid who’d meet his end with the gun
And then, his spirit would rise just like the sun
As he travelled further into martyrdom, ahem

[Verse Two]
“I’m the best” was the motto of the young bull Brian
Body of a string of floss, heart of a lion
Said he could beat anyone without even tryin’
”Rocky Marciano hands, I’ma leave ‘em cryin’”
Dyin’, the bullies ain’t pay him no attention
He figured they were pussies and that it was his ascension
God complex, he needed an intervention
Before he crossed a line for which there would be no redemption
Pride on his mind, so he thought he was the shit
When the ladies talk to him he be reachin’ for their hips
When the guys tell him back off, he tell ‘em suck his dick
They would get the bull, the ignorant little prick
Invited him to a party, he was happy as shit
He’d soon show his swag and leave with all the chicks
When he rolled through, sausage fest, no tits
But he was starin’ down the barrel of a black four-fifth, BANG!

[Hook]
All it takes is a bit of time, time
To plant the seeds of anything within a mind, mind
Emotions run deep, we constantly fantasize
’Til we start living in our own lies, lies, I said
All it takes is a bit of time, time
To plant the seeds of anything within a mind, mind
Emotions run deep, we constantly fantasize
’Til we start living in our own lies, lies

[Interlude]
Stacy, Stacy, lil’ Miss Gracie
She and Michel ‘bout to have a new baby
Boy? Girl? Even twins, maybe
But where’s Michel? Why is he always late? Geez!
Maybe he’s gettin’ tired of the fact
That her stomach’s gettin’ bigger, that she’s started gettin’ fat?
Coming home piss drunk at odd hours of the night
What the hell is he doin’ with his life?

[Verse Three]
She confronted him, asking where the hell he’d been
And why he came home smellin’ like juice and gin
He couldn’t keep it up if they were gonna raise a kid
But he just waved it off, “I don’t wanna hear that shit.”
“Have you replaced me? Found a new girl now?”
Was the question hangin’ in the room now
He just stared at her, laughed and said, “Oh, wow!”
Paranoia of the insecure ensues, POW!
She smacked him, cordless phone to the head
She beat his ass ‘til she was sure he was almost dead
He raised a hand and her fury ceased to exist
He reached in his pocket, pulled a ring out, “I got you this...
I was waiting for the right time to give it to you
Why would you think I would ever play the villain to you?”
She felt ashamed, got some bandages to wrap his head
Newly engaged couple, ashamed of what was said

[Hook]
All it takes is a bit of time, time
To plant the seeds of anything within a mind, mind
Emotions run deep, we constantly fantasize
’Til we start living in our own lies, lies, I said
All it takes is a bit of time, time
To plant the seeds of anything within a mind, mind
Emotions run deep, we constantly fantasize
’Til we start living in our own lies, lies
