(Royce talking) |
|
Come here Royce |
|
(Royce talking over chorus) |
|
Come over here, sit down, let me talk to you |
|
Right here, over here |
|
Sit on daddy's lap |
|
I want to tell you something |
|
(Chorus: Amerie) (Royce) |
|
Life is a moment in space |
|
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place |
|
(This is life) |
|
Life is a moment in space |
|
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place |

Little Royce Nickel Nine, eyes wide with sight |
|
With a future as bright as the light in the eyes of Christ |

You're gonna turn a lot of them down, you're gonna feel rejection |
|
You're gonna tell a lot of lies and you're gonna hear confessions |
|
It's a two way street when you deal in his presenc |
