intro
No matter what, baby (don't matter)
No matter what people say (don't matter what they say)
I'm gonna believe we can still be together
No matter what, baby (don't matter)
No matter what people say (don't matter what they say)
I'm gonna believe we can still be together
verse
If you still believe (I do believe)
You'll find everything you're searchin' for, maybe more
Well, boy, you seem to be lost in uncertainty
But when you wake up feelin' alone, you never shoulda let it go
Well, baby, it always been sure (sure)
I just wasn't too certain that yours were legitimate, genuine, really the Real McCoy
And after all this time, you look into my eyes
And everything is still the same
My love for you will fade away
chorus
Baby, I still believe (still believe)
And it's more than my imagination
It's so real, I know we're gonna be together
And it's more than my imagination
Because I still believe we belong together
verse
I'm still a believer of this, so stop
Just listen and look into my eyes
I want you to visualize and realize
And see that it ain't never been too easy
To bitches that runnin' outta there with that persuasion
verse
I figure that's why they be callin' me Krayzie 'cause I still maintain
We gonna struggle through all them hard times (hard times)
And I can tell you that peace and happiness is hard to find
I'm not tryna make excuses or reasons
But these demons got me seeing things that's really been misleading me
Maybe that's just my life
verse
Baby, I'm just a thug, coldhearted, but I can feel the love (love)
Just keep the faith, and don't break it
Shake all the players and haters
And next thing we will make it
And I say, "Yeah, huh-huh"
You got to believe it (you gotta believe)
chorus
Baby, I still believe (still believe)
No matter what they say (and it's more than my imagination, I still)
It's so real, I know we're gonna be together (so real, you, you know, you know)
Baby, I had a dream (no matter, no matter what they say)
And it's more than my imagination (baby, I have a dream)
Because I still believe we belong together (no matter, no matter what they say)
verse
If you wanna view paradise (if you want)
Think about our lovin', baby (to view it)
Nothing could be closer to it (nothing comes)
If we don't believe, we'll lose it (let's do it)
verse
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
I know you be missin' every bit of the feelin'
You get when you used to hit this, shh
'Cause can't nobody f- like me
And vicious lies can lead
To innocent victims losing they lives for greed
Paparazzi invading my privacy
verse
Ain't no article that can stop me (you can't stop)
And even if my label drop me
I'm so, so phenomenal, def
Most know me for leaving bullet holes
In the abdominal area, throat, and chest
One of the baddest motherfuckers left (you know?)
verse
Still puffin' and lovin' nothin' 'til my last breath
I only believed it was possible (uh-huh)
You ain't nuttin', my, me and amigo friend
They lay in the dugout, pretendin' to be unstoppable
verse
Get in the way of my guns
And they ain't got no prob droppin' you (uh-huh)
The best thing for you to do is run
'Cause I'm plannin' on poppin' you
I gotta live my life, my life, Damizza
Or Da Brat don't get no sunshine
chorus
Baby, I still believe (I still believe)
And it's more than my imagination
It's so real, I know we're gonna be together (I know we will, I know we will)
Baby, I had a dream (I had a dream)
And it's more than my imagination
Because I still believe we belong together (we will be in love again, my love)
chorus
Baby, I still believe (and I still believe)
And it's more than my imagination
It's so real, I know we're gonna be together (see, it's more than my imagination)
(I have a dream) baby, I had a dream
And it's more than my imagination
Because I still believe we belong together
outro
Baby, I still believe (still believe) (no matter, no matter what they say)
And it's more than my imagination
It's so real, I know we're gonna be together
Don't matter, don't matter what they say (I still believe we can still be together)
