Rakim - Love 4 Sale lyrics

Once was a time I thought that love
Could be sold or bought and
(Uh) everything fell in place for me, for me
For me (yeah) The fashion of passion
The crashing with
Caution because of the notion
The potion of passion
Had never been passed to me, to me, to me

(Lady hustler stand up) once was a time
I thought that love could (Uh, huh) be
Sold or bought
(Uh, huh) and everything fell in
Place for me, for me, for me (Nick Wiz
They're gonna love you for this)
The fashion of passion
The crashing with caution
(Uh) because of the notion the
Potion of passion (yeah)
Had never been passed to me, to me, to me

Yeah uh

Go look at her
Livin' a world of give and take
A girl that only get with
Dudes that's gettin' cake
But don't hate cuz
Just feed her with gifts to get a date
Diamonds and pearls and trips to get away
And plus ten steps ahead she's slick
Turnin' to love slays and leave
'em straight out whipped
She too much, get what she out to get
And here's the trick
The tricks get out-tricked
The pimps get out-pimped
In bed, beyond compare, ma's rare
Her computer know what to do with hardware
Ah yeah shinin' in a diamond brassiere
Tattoo on her rear "Swipe credit card here"
She thinking above the scale
And having second thoughts about
Love for sale
No regret, had a feeling love would fail
She had fun, but now she want love for real
She said

Once was a time I thought that love
Could be sold or bought and
(Uh) everything fell in place for me, for me
For
Me (Love for sale) the fashion of passion
The crashing with caution because of the
Notion the potion of passion had never
Been passed to me, to me, to me
(Love for sale, Never been passed to me
Baby)

Once was a time I thought that
Love could be sold or
Bought and everything fell in place
For me, for me, for me
(Love for sale, yeah) the fashion of passion
The crashing with caution because
Of the notion
The potion of passion had never
Been passed to me (Uh) , to me
To me (yeah)

She ain't dumb, let him stack his cash
'Cause when he get home she gon'
Crack his stash and get half
Love to check the racks for rags
In the Jag packed with bags from Saks 5th Ave
In the club (yeah) , make the scene go wild
Always singled out, and her bling go blow
Switch up, never rock the same old style
Designer name profile, she's bilingual now
And the speak Manolo, Armani
Dolce & Gabbana, roberto Cavalli
Look at mami, speak Donatella
Versace, Jimmy Choo, Prada
Valentino Garavani and Red
Step off the aeroplane
Just to hang out under the
Sunset somewhere in Spain
In Madrid, spell like Chanel and Vera Wang
But she forgettin' one thing
She missing the wedding ring she said

Once was a time I thought that love
Could be sold or bought and
(Uh, huh) everything fell in place
For me, for me, for me
(Love for sale) the fashion of passion
The crashing with caution because of
The notion the potion of passion had never
Been passed to me, to me, to me
(Love for sale, Never been passed to me
Baby)

Once was a time I thought that
Love could be sold or bought
(yeah) and everything fell in place
For me, for me, for me
(Love for sale) the fashion of passion, the
Crashing with caution because of the
Notion the potion of
Passion had never been passed to me, to me
To me (Love for sale)

It ain't love
You know a man attracted to fashion
Cashmere, chiffon, silk, suede and satin
And flashin' love Franklin
Grants and Jacksons and cash and
Nobody never gave her passion, just lust
No one can 'til mami demand more
A man that can't fall, and trust
Starting to understand more
'Cause if they share yours you declare war
When they met, wanted no strings attached
He can take it where he wants
If he brings a bat
And it's wraps, the necklace
Earnings to match everything fell into place
But things collapse
Instead, think it ain't as tight as it was
And now she only want what's rightfully hers
Is respect, she need a man to wifey her up
She wanna know what if feel like to be loved
She said

Once was a time I thought that
Love could be sold or
Bought and everything fell in place
For me, for me, for me
(yeah) the fashion of passion
The crashing with caution because of the
Notion the potion of passion had
Never been passed to me, to me, to me
(Love for sale, Never been passed to me
Baby)

(This is for my lady hustlers)

Once was a time I thought that
Love could be sold or
Bought and everything fell in place
For me, for me, for me
(Love for sale) the fashion of passion
The crashing with caution (Uh) because of the
Notion the potion of passion had never
Been passed to me, to me
To me (Love for sale)
