Meant To Be

Yo, some things just have a funny way of working out, life always has so many surprises in store, time after time, day after day, we just gotta be on the lookout for it

[Verse 1]
She was a dark skinned beautiful, not exactly what I was used to
But I just couldn’t let this one go
Wanted each other for a long time, before grade 9
But we thought those kiddie feelings would pass
I left for school, she left to pursue life more
What was in store neither one of us would know
Wrote letters, sent cards, mind states of soulmates
Airport pickups with no questions asked
Both home now, she with family issues, me my own spot
Swooped her when she needed time to clear her head
Held each other all night, spoke ’til sunrise
Laughing and expressing what was bottled up for years
Spilled emotions [?] glasses, belly butterflies of passion emerged first, I-love-you’s were said
Never knew that those words could feel so real
With a smile on my face, kid, I almost shed tears

[Chorus]
We were meant to be, you and me
One soul, one mind, one lifetime
Together forever, forever together
Together forever, forever yo

We were meant to be, you and me
One soul, one mind, one lifetime
Together forever, forever together
Together forever, forever yo

[Verse 2]
We’re a couple now, my parents cool, hers not
Didn’t like the idea of her sleeping at my place
And I could understand, she’s a woman, I’m a man
So I know what the scenario probably reflected
But we never got physical, maybe kissed and that’s it
And I had respect, see I could wait to get my taste
We were constantly accused, tried it once, didn’t do it
Couldn’t buy into the lifestyle our lifestyle suggested
Stood our ground, our love kept us satisfied at first
Just happy to be together with no limits
Nights out around town, dinners, movie, park walks, occasional spats
Nothing big, glad she was my lady
Then on one night that we chose in my bedroom under moonlight
We became one, eliminating thick sexual tension
Learned each other’s bodies well over time, even got crazy
Then she told me that she was having my baby

[Chorus]
We were meant to be, you and me
One soul, one mind, one lifetime
Together forever, forever together
Together forever, forever yo

We were meant to be, you and me
One soul, one mind, one lifetime
Together forever, forever together
Together forever, forever yo

[Verse 3]
Kid on the way, tell parents and friends
Get prepared to take care of the life we created
I was excited, she was really depressed
Knew our lives would take a drastic turn of direction
But we got through it, she moved in
Now I was always there and to glee, her depression slowly faded
Even though I hate 3am store-runs for cravings, still noticed the depth of our new connection
Loved to see her smile, the glow emitted gave angelic greatness
Searched for a halo whenever she slept
God’s pride and joy in my arms is what I felt
When he kicked, praised her for living and holding life
Every time we touched, I felt chills, her eyes mirrored mine
To have someone like this, I knew I was blessed
On the 20th, I had a show that evening
Mid-set, brought her on stage and asked if she’d be my wife

[Chorus]
We were meant to be, you and me
One soul, one mind, one lifetime
Together forever, forever together
Together forever, forever yo

We were meant to be, you and me
One soul, one mind, one lifetime
Together forever, forever together
Together forever, forever yo
