That's right, this track right here
is dedicated
to all them strong ladies,
you know?
That stick by your man's side,
so you stay ready to ride.
All the ladies know who you are.
Turn the system up,
put it loud.
Bump your crowd.
It's for all the ladies
that stick by the side of their man.
Once upon a time,
she was heartbroken,
shedding tears, collect calls,
confirming her worst fears.
Her man was locked up,
and she was pregnant,
now she's gotta ride
and hold it down until he exits.
He's on the next trip, bus upstate,
facing 7th and 8th
with the 4th release date, but she waits.
Send her the letters,
tell her to keep strong, pictures,
wishing he won't be long.
She's getting bigger,
he's getting testy,
feeling like his life is going down
since he was arrested.
But he holds on, cause he knows,
he got a kid coming soon,
growing in his ladies womb
So he steady counting dates
out on the calendar,
writing the letters to let her know
That he's down with her
through thick and thin,
she's had his back
So straight from the heart,
he loves her for that
When a man does fine,
his woman does too
Much love to the ladies
that are keeping the truth
Stick by your man's side,
throughout his hard time
Much respect to the ladies
that are down the ride
When a man does fine,
his woman does too
Much love to the ladies
that are keeping the truth
Stuck by a man's side,
through all this hard time
Much respect to the ladies
that are down the road
Slammed down,
attempt at murder was his case
Challenges in life, is what we both faced
They took him from my side,
now I'm left alone
Staring at her picture,
wishing he was home
Remaining by his side, as a true lady
should I respect my man truly,
stay away from the hood
Provide his every need,
now I'm stressing him out
Caching and waiting for his collects,
on the burn line
I make sure he gets a package,
every three months
Family business are the best
when I sneak in my clutch
A kiss in the beginning,
a kiss towards the end
Even when the world does time
for what I take in
He knows that I'm a writer,
I stand by my man
Us ladies do the time too,
right besides him
There's no lim it
to what a woman will do
for her love
Much respect to all the ladies
that hangin' in tough
When a man does time,
his woman does too
Much love to the ladies
that are keepin' the truth
Stick by your man's side
throughout his hard time
Much respect to the ladies
that are down the road
When a man does time,
his woman does too
Much love to the ladies
that are keeping it true
Stay by your man's side,
through all this hard time
Much respect to the ladies
that are down the ride
He sent me love letters
with pictures on them
Can't wait till it's released
so I can be on them
Hug him, squeeze him, tell him I miss him
He knows very much how I care about him
I dream of the day
when I get lost in my thoughts
Taking me back to his arrest
when my heart dropped
All I know, he's coming home to me
Until then I'm gonna write
it out and let it be
Damn, it must be hard but ladies
Hold your hands up
when life knocks you down
For reals, you gotta get up
I know when times like a re -buff
Dark and lonely nights all alone
I know you see the glow
for every single lady
There is a man that'll stand by your side
And stick to the plan
It's dedicated to them ladies that'll
Stick by your man when times get shady
When a man does time, his woman
Does too much love to the ladies
That are keeping the truth,
stick by your man's side
Threw out his hard time
Much respect to the ladies
that are down to ride
When a man does time,
his woman does too
Much love to the ladies
that are keeping it true
Stick by your man's side
Threw out his hard time
Much respect to the ladies that are down to
ride
Mr. Criminal
