[00:00]Do you mind if I talk to you for a minute?
[00:03]You see these fellows out here?
[00:06]See, they're afraid of doing that long term thing
[00:10]They figure as soon as they lock hearts with another
[00:14]Something better is gonna come along
[00:16]Well, that's quite possibly true
[00:20]But the deal is, you're gonna have to find yourself a love
[00:23]Or you're gonna find yourself alone
[00:26]See I'm schooled in them streets and streets y'all
[00:30]Yeah I was cooling them clubs
[00:34]Real talk I wasn't thinking nothing 'bout love
[00:40]See I didn't want nobody tryin' to partake in my stuff
[00:47]I thought an occasional one night stand would be enough
[00:52]Oh but one day I, I met this girl and she ruined my philosophy
[00:58]It caught me by surprise
[01:00]And now my heart skips a beat when she comes around
[01:08]I never thought that I'd be ready to settle down
[01:15]See I was about to find myself alone
[01:20]But I found myself a love
[01:23]It's gonna take a minute to evolve
[01:26]But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
[01:30]I'm ready for a love of my own yeah
[01:35]Can't stay in this place forever
[01:38]Even though I want to, I just see us together
[01:42]And I'd rather have a love, than live a life alone
[01:50]See, I was raised by a good one
[01:53]Momma told me what a real man should be
[01:57]She said son pick one, and treat her like me
[02:03]But I took all of her wisdom, and used it for selfish gains
[02:09]And I know if she saw this pimpin', she's be ashamed
[02:15]But now I found her
[02:17]I found this girl and I see things differently (It caught me by surprise)
[02:22]It's like I got two left feet when she comes around
[02:30]I never thought that I'd be ready to settle down
[02:37]See I was about to find myself alone
[02:41]But I found myself a love
[02:44]It's gonna take a minute to evolve
[02:48]But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
[02:52]I'm ready for a love of my own yeah
[02:56]Can't stay in this place forever
[02:59]Even though I want to, I just see us together
[03:03]And I'd rather have a love, than live a life alone
[03:13]On the one hand I could chose to be the guy that only chases frivolous pleasure
[03:16]But on the other hand, need to build a dream with true love and affection
[03:24]I know it's going to be quite a challenge
[03:27]I know it's gonna take some time
[03:30]But I'm here and I'm ready to change
[03:33]Cause I know I've found myself a love
[03:38]It's gonna take a minute to evolve
[03:41]But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
[03:45]I'm ready for a love of my own yeah
[03:49]Can't stay in this place forever
[03:52]Even though I want to, I just see us together
[03:56]And I'd rather have a love, than have a life alone
[04:04]Said it's gonna take a minute to evolve
[04:07]But I'd rather have a love than nothing at all
[04:12]I'm ready for a love of my own
