[Master G]  
 I am the king of the rappin thing  
 But love, is really my game  
 And when it comes, to gettin the finest chicks  
 I put all the other rappers to shame  
 The ladies scream when I'm on the scene  
 They love my 280-Z  
 And when the party's over they stand in line  
 to go home with the Master G, ha ha hahhh  
  
 This is for the lover in you  
 The lover in you, I know she's in there somewhere  
 This is for the lover in you  
 Ah for the lover in you...  
 Whoaaaah honey, can't you see, yeah

 Who wants to make love...

 To the lover in you  
  
 Don't be misled, by what I said  
 There's one thing beyond a doubt  
 Inside every rapper there's a lover  
 who's tryin, to get out  
 So let's make a start, unlock your heart
