It's his way of livin'
Who am i to tell him
That what he's doin' just ain't right
Standing on the corner hustlin'
All day gamblin' under street lights
Even though he's thuggin'
I love him
And i want him in my life

No matter what people say
I'm gonna love him anyway
Cause he does a lot for me
And that is why i'm gonna be
A lover, a friend, a soldier, til the end
And that's how it's gonna be

Mother and my father don't understand me
They think i messed up my life
But i don't agree
They need to mind their business cause it's my life
And even though he's thuggin'
I love him (she loves him)
And i want him in my life, life again

No matter what people say
I'm gonna love him anyway
Cause he does a lot for me
And that is why i'm gonna be
A lover, a friend, a soldier, til the end
And that's how it's gonna be

So what you sayin, i can't love him
Cause he's a hustler out here thuggin'
I know you're waitin', sittin' around hopin'
That 5-o come and take him away
Well even if they do
I'll remain true to love him
In the end

Said i'll be a lover, a friend, a soldier, til the end
And that's how it's gonna be

No matter what people say
I'm gonna love him anyway
Cause he does a lot for me
And that is why i'm gonna be
A lover, a friend, a soldier, til the end
And that's how it's gonna be

No matter what people say
I'm gonna love him anyway
Cause he does a lot for me
And that is why i'm gonna be
A lover, a friend, a soldier, til the end
And that's how it's gonna be
