[Chorus]
2
Here's what you want right
3
Here's what you need right
4
We got to give you more
5
Of what you're lookin' for
6
So it's a secret that's been pent up inside for years
7
Exclusive type, only for your eyes and ears
8
You held it in for so long you bursted into tears
9
The letters spilled slowly across the page like a world premiere
10
Well I ain't, the bullshit begins here
11
The obvious cause, the effects is unclear
12
The punishment for crimes of the heart could be severe
13
Though to keep it on the low is a heavy cross to bear
14
You deep now, submerged with no signs of air
15
Still your sunken heart thumpin' like the kick in a snare
16
While on the surface it's all turnin' to a circus
17
That's why you're nervous, and you got a right to be
18
Cause if somebody woulda done that shit to me
19
I mean my best man hittin' my wife-to-be
20
My sentiments exactly would be history
21
Why'know what I'm sayin my peoples in the place let's hit it off one two
22
[Chorus]
23
Yo, it's like nothin' changed, it's all the same thang
24
The same characters in a book, with different names
25
It's a lot more to lose than you got to gain
26
You a lot more confused than hip to the game
27
The peep the script of the game the price is pain
28
Men and women get into things, now who's to blame?
29
When everybody whisperi' bout whatever took place
30
And how the fact twist a knot with a straight face
31
And lies, hard to swallow from the bitter taste
32
Well that's a point in the past that can't be erased
33
So motivate, though it's hard to let it ride
34
Or set aside true feelings, underhand dealings
35
Our lost trust, I wonder if we lost us
36
It's bigger than me and you, it's monstrous
37
So I'ma, just calm down and try to relax
38
Before I clap ????????
39
[Chorus]
40
If you could only flash back and undo our actions
41
Change what happens, dissect the fractions
42
A time to rewind and be recorded absent
43
For real cause these memories is photographic
44
Pornographic, pushing me close to madness
45
Head heavy like I'm trippin' on tablets
46
Yesterday as I recall was all fabulous I thought so
47
But now it feel like shots hittin' my torso
48
Spent a lotta time and trust in the wrong place
49
Fought a lotta fights rollin' with the wrong ace
50
Love, stronger than pride, we could end disgrace
51
I need, room the think, and space to ventilate
52
Was solid as a rock, shall not disintegrate
53
Thoughts racing like the lunatics on the interstate
54
For real, ya, it's ill, ya, my peoples in the place
55
[Chorus]
