Now the way it went
Got me in this messed up predicament Cause I ain't know how to be monogamous I was caught in the wrong just walkin' Through the mall with this shorty on my arm Now I played the fool Sittin' in the sneaker store buyin' shoes My girl's best friend came strolling through I tried to turn away but I moved too late Cause she already saw my face I was hopin' she Didn't really get a good look at me She walked out the store so casually I thought that I was fine 'Til she called me later on with my girl on the line She'd seen me Called me up on the threeway Givin' me girl the whole replay Has it happened to you, has it happened to you? Repeat Now I tried to lie Sayin' that it must have been some other guy You know your friends jealous of you and I 'Cause she ain't got a man so she's all up in our business Hold on and let me finish girl your crushin me Actin like you ain't got no trust in me I thought you said that you were in love with me Well act you know me and hang up the phone But she ain't quit The more I tried to lie the angrier she'd get She said it was over with us, that's it Word to all men If your goin' be creepin', look out for her friend Chorus Now ladies know how to stick together, together No matter what you say you ain't goin' win Now brothas better have they stuff together Cause she always goin' believe her friend, Always goin' to believe her friend. Chorus 2 times |

City Hi,i,i,ig Booga Basement, here come another one
I know things ain't work out for you and me lady But don't worry about my child because I'a take care of 'em baby And I can't keep comin around, breakinyou off Cause It breaks my heart, when we make love and ain't no love involved Why should we screw If we can get along, what's the point of gettingit on You know that it's wrong when all we do Is sweep it under the rug What's the point when we touch if we're no longer in love This makes no sense to do what we do Cause baby I've been moved on and I know you got someone new So we promised each other we wouldn't make this a sexual thang Cause it feels good while we bang, but when it's all over You know we'll be fightin again Why should we screw If we can get along, what's the point of gettingit on You know that it's wrong when all we do Is sweep it under the rug What's the point when we touch if we're no longer in, why, tell me why it seems to be, the only time you work with me, is when we're in between the sheets, when I'm workin your body, that's when we get along, but when you put your clothes back on, right back to the same old song, we got it all wrong.... (play that thing Robby) |

Verse I
I don't understand why you had to go I guess I'll never know Life seems so hard Since you went your way, There's still some things I got to say Even though I'm all alone I know you want me to be strong Standing tall admist the rain Without you life just ain't the same Chorus There are so many things I'd like to ask you And there are so many things I still don't know And there are so many things I'd like to ask you Still yet so many things I will never know Verse II If there was anyway I could see your face again I'd give my own life Only you can ease my pain And if I could turn back the hands of time It would take me just a moment To tell you what's on my mind Even though I'm all alone I know you want me to be strong Standing tall admist the rain Without you life just ain't the same Chorus And there are so many things I'd like to ask you And there are so many things I still don't know And there are so many things I'd like to ask you Still yet so many things I will never know Coda Sometimes I sit and wonder, "Will we ever meet again?" But wherever life may lead You'll always have a friend in need |

It was two weeks before my son's birthday
D.T's ringing my bell (Ma'am we need to ask a few questions) They told me the RAID would go down anyday If I was smart I wouldn't tell (no no) It was all over him Your my boyfriend the criminal He was caught up in the game And the FBI warned if I didn't go along They'd make sure I never saw my son or my boyfriend again (remember this, you are a convicted fellon on probation) But how could I just turn him in? (Ma'am if you don't help us, you'll never see your son again. Trust me) He would always tell me I know your afraid But you can't leave me now Lean on my shoulder Soon it'll be over I'm trying to build our future I'm doing this for us Your the only one I love The only one I trust I'd been with him for about 4 years and I swear He gave me anything I could dream (anything) But the life that he lived was a nightmare I swear Wasn't clean he was blinded by the cream All the murderous cases, the trips to Las Vegas Making millions from papers blood stained(nasty money) Stuck in my head like a song, saw every sin I knew every wrong And if I don't go along, I'd never see my family again (no no no) (hmmm) (hey hey hey) (So whats it gonna be?) (I know my rights) (One phone call from me and your son's going to a foster home.) (whatever) (Answer the question) (I don't have to answer shit!) He would also tell me (tell me yeah) I know your afraid But you can't leave me now Lean on my shoulder Soon it'll be over (soon it'll be over) I'm trying to build our future I'm doing this for us Your the only one I love The only one I trust It was Saturday evening, we were home watching TV He looked in my eyes I wanted to cry (oh) My son ran to hug him, he kissed him goodnight How could I do this, could I do this? When I knew he would die FED's rushed the door, yelled 'everyone on the floor' My man pulled his NINE and started to fight He was a soldier of cause in a war he couldn't win But without him I'm lost So I stood by his side and went down with him Oh Help! No no no no No no no nooo Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Help! Oh Oooooh He would always tell me I know your afraid But you can't leave me now Lean on my shoulder Soon it'll be over I'm trying to build our future I'm doing this for us Your the only one I love The only one I trust I know your afraid But you can't leave me now Lean on my shoulder Soon it'll be over I'm trying to build our future I'm doing this for us Your the only one I love The only one I trust I'm sorry...

They just gave up on our entire generation
So we were all pushed to the side cuz we didn't see the world through our teachers eyes When all we needed was a little bit of motivation But because we wore our pants saggin' y'all labelled us gangstas And said we wasn't worth the time There are so many things i never asked you, There are so many things i still dont know, There are so many things you never told me, and still so many things that will never know, And why, cuz i went to city high A school with more dropouts than signups and registrations, Mmmm yea, and the pregnancy rate is at an all time high(we all know why) Now you would think the classrooms the place for mental stimulation, But theres some brothas outside sellin that stuff that will really stimulate your mind(talkin bout gettin high) There are so many things you never showed me, There are too many things you let slip by, How can I face a world that doesn't know me A world that doesn't care whether I live or die, And why, cuz I go to City High So, We don't need your education We don't want no pacifier We are the leaders of your nation We're gonna make sure the world survives There ain't no justice there's just us What happened to the meaning of "in God we trust" So as we get older and our children grow up We ain't gonna teach them what y'all showed us There's too many babies dyin' before they're born (Lord ain't that the truth) Too many young ladies cryin' with a daddy in the house but not a father in the home (now y'all know there's a difference) And what about all our young soldiers being led astray (by this negative music) What happened to the Isaac Hayes, and the Curtis Mayfield's and all the Marvin Gayes? Man we really need 'em today And there were so many things that needed explaining But you said it was too late for me to learn You were suppose to be my shelter when it was rainin' But instead you left me out here all alone, so I gotta make it on my own We don't need your education We don't want no pacifier We are the leaders of your nation We're gonna make sure the world survives There ain't no justice there's just us What happened to the meaning of "in God we trust" So as we get older and our children grow up We ain't gonna teach them what y'all showed us For people who did believe, what we could do to change our future, you knew the world was in our hands, help build them strong so they can withstand, all the pressures, all the war, all the prejudice, and the others who were sure we couldn't fight the stress in life, for those of you who didn't believe us, listen to my words for you, listen to your children sing to you We don't need your education We don't want no pacifier We are the leaders of your nation We're gonna make sure the world survives There ain't no justice there's just us What happened to the meaning of "in God we trust" So as we get older and our children grow up We ain't gonna teach them what y'all showed us |

You don't know me
They don't know me Y'all don't know me So don't try to judge me Cause I'm hard headed I don't wanna listen Experience is my teacher That's how I'm gonna live my life Now lately it seems as though your actin' like your someone else And the way it used to be you could come to me and tell me what you felt Now I heard they say what you see is what you get But that ain't always a fact, but if you turned me inside out I think that you'd gain a new respect [2nd Verse] Seems like everybody knows my mind better than I know my own Always questioning the things I do, I wish y'all would leave me alone I may hang out and drink a lot but that's just how I get down If I listen to you, and him or her, I'd never get my feet off of the ground [Bridge] You think you know me but you don't (I'll do me and you do you think you know me but you don't have a clue) You think you know me but you won't |
