i heard motherfuckers sayin’ they made hov
made hov say okay so make another hov
niggas wasn’t playin’ they day role
so we parted ways like ben and jlo
i shoulda been did it but i been in a daze though
i put friends over business end of the day though
but when friends’ business interests is day glow
ain’t nothin’ left to say though
i guess we forgot what we came fo’
shoulda stayed in food and beverage
too much flossin’ too much sam rothstein
i ain’t a bitch but i gotta divorce them
hov had to get the shallow shit up off him
and i ain’t even want to be famous
niggas is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes
and i ain’t even know how it came to this
except that fame is the worst drug known to man
it’s stronger than heroin

and still not see what you’ve become

i don’t think it’s meant to be b
for she loves her work more than she does me
and honestly at twentythree
i would probably love my work more than i did she
so we ain’t we it’s me and her
’cause what she prefers over me is work
and that’s where we differ
so i have to give her free time even if it hurts
so breathe mami it’s deserved
you’ve been put on this earth
to be all you can be like the reserves
and me my time in the army it’s served
so i have to allow she her time to serve
the time’s now for her in time she’ll mature
and maybe we can be we again like we were
finally my time’s too short to share
and to ask her now it ain’t fair so yeah she lost one

my nephew died in the car i bought
so i’m under the belief it’s partly my fault
close my eyes and squeeze try to block that thought
place any burden on me but please not that lord
but time don’t go back it goes forward
can’t run from the pain go towards it
some things can’t be explained what caused it
such a beautiful soul so pure shit
gonna see you again i’m sure of it
’til that time little man i’m nauseous
your girlfriend’s pregnant the lord’s gift
almost lost my faith that restored it
it’s like havin’ your life restarted
can’t wait for your child’s life to be a part of it
so now i’m childlike waitin’ for a gift
to return when i lost you i lost it
