LYRICS:

Verse 1:
They see you and see a thug yea yea
I see you and see my love yea yea
You roll up they running scared yea yea
But me I’m running to you with my fears yea yea
Ain’t found no one that can measure up to you
This feeling I feel I’ve only felt wit you yea yea
You got these hittas so intimidated
With just a hit it ain’t no hesitating
I see things in you I can’t see in nobody
It breaks my heart that you can’t be beside me

Writing you this letter in my feelings
Just hearing your baritone on the phone
I get overwhelmed
Boy you know we locked in my heart locked down
I swear I can’t find nobody else to fit your crown
(Your crown)

Pre:
I been looking all my life
for a real one like you
I know I would never find
another real one like you
Ooo you glisten you just shine
like nobody else do
don’t even know why I’m still trying to find
a real one like you

Hook:
Writing you this letter
Damn I wish that you could hold me
Pen to the letter cuz wit you I got no worries
Things that you do it always hit and make my soul shake
I try not to but I often think
I finally found my soulmate

Writing you this letter
Damn I wish that you could hold me
A G and a gentleman who knew that they could coordinate
Ooo you hit different even took care of my family
I think I been scared to say
I finally found my soulmate
finally found my soulmate
finally found my soulmate
finally found my soulmate

Verse 2:
They can’t love you like I love you sounds so cliché
but when you say that to me, it just rings so truthfully
Had a couple substitutes, but they ain’t the real thing
comparing everyone i get to the one can’t be replaced
Oooo what to do
When I’m craving attention but nobody’s you
Only attracted to them gangstas cause of you
Wish I had just one forever to spend wit you

Pre:
I been looking all my life for
a real one like you
I know I would never find
another real one like you
Ooo you glisten you just shine
like nobody else do
don’t even know why I’m still trying to find
a real one like you

Hook:
Writing you this letter
Damn I wish that you could hold me
Pen to the letter cuz wit you I got no worries
Things that you do it always hit and make my soul shake
I try not to but I often think
I finally found my soulmate

Writing you this letter
Damn I wish that you could hold me
A G and a gentleman who knew that they could coordinate
Oou you hit different even took care of my family
I think I been scared to say
finally found my soulmate
I finally found my soulmate
finally found my soulmate
finally found my soulmate
