I’d Rather Have A Love (Remix) (feat. Fat Joe)

[Fat Joe] I'm not a player, I just crush a lot

That's what I used to say but I turned it down a notch Use to play the clubs, pop bottles and freak with the ladies When they play that new Jeezy tho, boys go crazy All the mami's lovin' Mary, I'm freakin' with Joe And ????????????? makin' movies, I'm talkin ?????????? Now we could make war or make babies My momma told me that I'd find a woman that would make me Eyes so slanted you would think they're just lazy Amazing, my baby she's gracing with aging Now I got a love of my own, home with no loan Dreams of a King put his Queen on a thrown

See, I’m cool in them streets Yeah, I was cool in them clubs Real talk I wasn’t thinking nothing ’bout love See, I didn’t want nobody trying to partake in my stunting I thought an occasional one night stand would be enough

(Oh but one day I) I met this girl and she ruined my philosophy (It caught me by surprise) And now my heart skips a beat when she comes around I never thought that I’d be ready to settle down See, I was 'bout to find myself alone but I found myself a love

[Chorus:] (It’s gonna take a minute to evolve) (But I’d rather have a love than nothing at all) I’m ready for a love of my own (Can’t stay in this place forever) Even though I want to, I just see us together (And I’d rather have a love, than have a life alone)

See, I was raised by a good one Momma told me what a real man should be She said "Son pick one and treat her like me." But I took all of her wisdom and used it for selfish gain And I know if she saw this pimpin', she’d be ashamed (But now I found) I found this girl and I see things differently

(It caught me by surprise) It’s like I got two left feet when she comes around I never thought that I’d be ready to settle down See I was about to find myself alone but I found myself a love

[Chorus]

(On the one hand I choose to be the guy) That only chases frivolous pleasures (But on the other hand we can build a dream) With true love and affection I know it’s going to be quite a challenge I know it was gonna take some time But I’m here and I’m ready to change 'Cause I know I’ve found myself a love

[Chorus]

Said it’s gonna take a minute to evolve But I’d rather have a love than nothing at all I’m ready for a love of my own
