I Remember way back when
Lookin' for the right girl to be my friend.I searched and searched but still never came up.
On the right one who would be mine and the only one.
Luck never came my way,
and all I ever came up with is a broken heart ya see.
I couldn't stand to be alone why my boys
Strit kick it with the bitties while I sat by the telephone.
Every time I hear it rang it wasn't who I want it to be.
It was just the same ol' thing, another day another
Heartache
No pain, no gain, just lookin' for a good thang.
Momma use to say don't look for love,
Just let it come around and surely one day it'll be found.
Ya see I'm kinda like 2 pac, when i get around
But the ICE goes down.
I go down, I go down, I go down baby, I go down
I go down, I go down baby doll, I go down
Step up if ya think ya out there
I know it's gotta be a tender
Who'll remember Ice somewhere.
That's only if you're ready for a REAL ONE
I need a tender and yea I gotta FEEL ONE.
I wanna tease and please and do it all with ease
But ya gotta be right and all dat
There when I need ya perfect like kodak,
Picture perfect body like an hour glass figure.
Cool in tha head and I gotta dig her,
The type that never says no,
'cause she's down to the fullest.
Cool like the wind blows,
And I ain't trying' to search and find
I guess it's true when they say
That love is blind,
You see I'm kinda like 2 pac, when I get around
But the ICE goes down
Now I'm on tour and got the past behind me,
But I need something to remind me,
Of the days when I played the kissing game.
But now things changed and no I ain't the same,
I made a come up, and now they run up
They all scream I'm the one, that wants to give the luv up.
But ICE ain't got no time for games
I need a real love, like Mary J. Blighe know what I sayin.
But the odds are still against me, I'm making paper
And still need that one, that wants to be with me.
And not for the money, nor the fame, but for me
One who can give me that security.
So if you're out there this one's for you,
You'll be down with me, then maybe I'll be true
You see I'm kinda like 2 pac, when I get around
But the ICE goes down
