How It's Gonna Be

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 the 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, till the end

And that's how it's gonna be

Oh-oh-oh

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

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, till the end

(A soldier)

And that's how it's gonna be yeah, mmm!

So what you sayin', I can't love him

'Cause he's a hustler out here thuggin'

I know you're waitin', sittin' 'round hopin'

That five-oh come and take him away

Well, even if they do

I'll remain true to love

(To love, oh love, oh love)

In the end!

(Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)

Oh, ooh-ooh, mm-mm-mm
