Lyrics

(Princess, I'm leaving.)

(Look at all these bills,
aren't they going to get paid?)

(You have the right to remain silent.)
(Anything you say
can and will be used
against you in a court of law.)

If I got locked away
And we   it all today
Tell me  
Would you still   me the same?

If I showed you my  
If I couldn't be  
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?

Right about  
If a   for-life me
Would you stay by my   ?
Or is you going to say   ?
Can you tell me right now?

If I couldn't buy you the   things in life
Shawty, would it be   ?
Come and show me that you are  

Now tell me would you really   for me?
-Would you really ride for me?-
Baby, tell me would you   for me?
-Tell me would you die for me?-
Would you spend your whole life with me?
-What's that?-
Would you be there to always hold me   ?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
-Would you really cry for me?-
Baby, don't lie to me
-Baby, don't lie to me-
If I didn't have anything
-What's that?-
I want to know would you stick around?

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?

"sitting around and playing video games...
figuring things out...

Come on, don't do me like that,
man. Can you   me?
How are they gonna be   ?
what is your   ?
I'm trying, I have a plan,
You doesn't to trust me, man?

Let's get it diddly-dong-dong-dong dang
All I want is somebody   who don't need much
A gal I know that I can  
To be here when money  
If I did not have nothing else to   but love
Would that even be   ?
Gal, me need it know

Now tell me would you really ride for me?
-Would you really ride for me?-
Baby, tell me would you die for me?
-Tell me would you die for me?-
Would you spend your whole life with me?
-what's that?-
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
-Would you really cry for me?-
Baby, don't lie to me
-Baby, don't lie to me-
If I didn't have anything
-What's that?-
I want to know would you stick around?

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?

Tell me, tell me, would you   me?
Tell me, tell me, would you   me
If you knew I wasn't   ?
Because I need a gal who's always by my  
Tell me, tell me, do you need me?
Tell me, tell me, do you love me, yeah?
Or is you just trying to play me?
Because I need a gal to hold me down for life

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?

Legend

Meaning

“It was inspired by true events,” Theron Thomas tells Radio.com. “Our dad was locked up for five years. And during the time he was gone, our mom held it down. She’d take us to see him. They’re still together to this day. They’ve been together for 36 years. So we thought that that was a great story to write a song about.”
