Nineoneone Songtext

von Wyclef Jean

[Wyclef]
Yo, what up, this Wyclef with Mary J.
I serenade the girls with my acoustic guitar
Know what I'm sayin'?
Yo, fellas havin' problems with the chicks
I want you right now to turn the lights down low
Pull your girl up next to you
I want you to sing this to her:

If death comes for me tonight, girl
I want you to know that I love you
And no matter how tough I wouldn't dare
Only to you I would reveal my tears
So tell the police I ain't home tonight
Messin' around with you is gonna get me life
Oh when I look into your eyes
Man, you're worth that sacrifice
If this is the kind of love
That my mom used to warn me about
Man, I'm in trouble
I'm in real big trouble
If this is the kind of love
That the old folks used to warn me about
Man, I'm in trouble
I'm in real big trouble
I need y'all to do me a favor:

CHORUS:
Someone please call 911 (pick up the phone yo)
Tell them I just been shot down
And the bullet's in my heart
And it's piercin' through my soul (I'm losin' blood yo)
Feel my body gettin' cold
Someone please call 911 (pick up the phone yo)
The alleged assailant is five foot one
And she shot me through my soul
Feel my body gettin' cold

[Mary]
So cold
Sometimes I feel like I'm a prisoner
I think I'm trapped here for a while
(But I'm always right here with you, girl)
And every breath I fight to take
Is as hard as these four walls I wanna break
I told the cops
You wasn't here tonight (alright)
Messin' around with me is gonna get you life
But every time I look into your eyes
Man, it's worth the sacrifice

[Wyclef]
If this is the kind of love
That your mom used to warn you about
Mary, you're in trouble
(I'm in real big trouble)
You're in real big trouble
(Lord knows I'm in trouble, yeah)
If this is the kind of love
That the old folks used to warn me about
(Every day, every night)
I'm in trouble
(I'm in real big trouble)
I'm in real big trouble
You got anything to say, girl?

CHORUS:
[Mary]
Someone please call 911 (pick up the phone yo)
Tell them I just got shot down
And it's piercin' through my soul (I'm losin' blood yo)
Feel my body gettin' cold

[Wyclef]
Someone please call 911 (can you do that for me)
The alleged assailant was five foot one
And she shot me through my soul
(And he shot me through my heart)
Feel my body gettin' cold
(He didn't care,
He didn't worry,
He didn't wonder)

Wyclef and Mary J. Blige
I'm feelin' you, girl
I understand
