I'll Be Around - Brother Ali, Phonte, Stokley Williams

The sun still shines and the birds still chirping

Bills all paid, baby everything working

Anything you need to see that I’m holding you down

Hey Ms. Thanga Thang

What’s happening?

I’ve been all around world and forth and back again

And for you pretty ladies, normally I sing a song

But every now and then I like to do my rapper thang

It seems like lately you don’t like the way I’m travelling

And all that’s going through your mind is that it ain’t the same

And even though I got you chilling where you wanna be

Right there, still you’re having Nightmares like Dana Dane

Well consider this

It seems relationships today can be so hit or miss

I mean, wouldn’t you say the same?

Cause even when I come home to be your Clark Kent

All you do is talk shit about them times I’m Superman

So whenever you get cabin

Fever just imagine

Yourself back in the club with them Orangutans

I mean them monkey ass niggas just hanging around

Maybe then you can appreciate my swanger thangs

Yes sir

The sun still shines and the birds still chirping

Bills all paid, baby everything working

Anything you need to see that I’m holding you down (holding you down)

The music might stop but the party’s not over

You my lucky star I’m your four leaf clover

Baby anytime you need me, you know I’ll be around (I'll be around)

Ladies, I want yo to get a manicure to this one.

If you’re feeling really good,

I want you to, huh, exfoliate to this one.

Haha, yes I do.

And if you feeling

real nice I want you to get a pedicure to this one.

All my fellas, huh,

let’s go

I know them lonely

Nights get old and that bed get mighty cold

And the, weight of this family just be resting on your shoulder

You’re a, Native New Yorker

Freezing to death in Minnesota for a man who almost always on the road

Woman such as you, she may wonder what to do

I know that possibility seem ugly but it’s true

Now he’s got his career but it’s me that’s sitting here

And you just might miss that something special that just for you

Well, my heart long for you when I’m gone from you

Just cause I’m not all up

Under you don’t mean I don’t love you

To the contrariety I’ve been on every continent

Trying to spit and get it right and get a house for you

That’s why I’m globe trotting so often

I’m trying to put that glowing dot up in your horizon

Go to school, I pay tuition, new shoes, I gave the children

With a little

Smidgen left so we can go shopping

But if I’m so honest

All that paper

Don’t mean nothing

When comparing to your loving and the care you give your

Husband

Wish I could lay up on your chest and hear your heartbeat

Whispering our name together as we fall asleep

The crowd cheering as I close the show

If they only know you only let me go cause you adore me so

And understand that I’m a natural man

Got to be who and what I am

Girl let me stand next to you

The sun still shines and the birds still chirping

Bills all paid, baby everything working

Anything you need to see that I’m holding you down (holding you down)

The music might stop but the party’s not over

You my lucky star I’m your four leaf clover

Baby anytime you need me, you know I’ll be around (I'll be around)
