I can no believe this
We just put it down
What are you going to tell him
When he comes back in town
Are you gonna let him know
That I'm giving you the business
I tried my best to let it go
But I could not resist it
It's to temptin, I'm slippin
Touchin and feelin
Me and him be kickin it, while all the while I've been hittin it
WhhhOOooo
I know that girl it's gone be hard for me to roll with him
Cause we be hoopin in shit that's my dog my bestfriend
Said I would never let a chick come between me and my homie
Got a lil too much to drink and tonight you put it on me
And I don't know if I regret that we be up in them hotel sweets
Baby this is crazy (baby)

Hush Hush
You don't tell no body
I won't tell no body
Baby we can keep it on the
Hush hush
He is just to close to me
This not suppose to be
But I can't keep you away from me

Sometimes I feel guilty girl sometimes I don't
I try my best to say no but girl you turn me on
I be coming over to your home when I know that I'm not strong
Blowin up your phone checkin to see if your home
It's to temptin, I'm slippin
Touchin and feelin
Me and him be kickin it, while all the while I've been hittin it
WhhhOOooo
I know that girl it's gone be hard for me to roll with him
Cause we be hoopin in shit that's my dog my bestfriend

Baby we can keep it on the
Hush hush

Have you ever?
Common

Have you ever ever
Think about it

Have you ever
Thought of what you did
When you were a kid (sometimes)
As you reminisce

Have you ever
Thought about your life
Thought you paid a price (no doubt)
Cause It wasn't right
Have you ever

Ever tell the truth but lied
Held back when you shoulda cried
Didn't say it when you shoulda said goodbye
Meant something but didn't say
Said something but didn't mean
Seems like we all been through it

Ever let the people get away
Ever look back
And wish you could get back
How it was back in the day
Ever had a girl
You wouldn't budge
Instead of telling them how much
You'd be true with loving

Have you ever ever
Or am I the only one
Tell me have you ever
Looked back on the things that you've done

Been up in the club
Bustin' over
One too many
Double shots of hennergy
Told you she was twenty-one
You think maybe
You and her leaving
End up in a hotel suite bed
Whoa! no glove
Slipped up now you gettin that love
Next morning you wake up
Feeling stupid...
I have

Have you ever been
Caught up in a jam
You and your man
Not thinking
Make a quick decision
Got the Ooh Wee In your hand
Busted you be doing 20 plus fo' sure
Drop it and run then the whole hood'll know

Whoa, time passed
Given that behind the three
Hit's glass
Raise my sons the only thing he asked
Have you ever
I have

Have you ever ever
Or am I the only one
Tell me have you ever
Looked back on the things that you've done

The whole world is straight
Full of surprise
It's like a hundred and one
Million different disguise
The shit just falls straight outta the skies
You never know when
Never know why

But I realize that it don't feel good
Really wish I woulda did it different
So don't ever say that you never

If you didn't ask then he wouldn't tell
But the truth is you going through hell
But you hide it so well
You tug on his sleeve
You beg and you plead
Anything so that he won't leave
He would be like oh well (oh well)
And half of the time you knew he was lying
Said he was on his rizzily grind
He's providing so well

And now he's out there running game on you
I'll be there at the drop of a dime
And when he thinks your at home with the kids on the couch watching tv all the time

If you think you're lonely now (ohh baby I'm on my way)
Wait until tonight girl
Cause I'm coming to scoop you up
You got the kinda love
Never get enough of messing bed spreads up
It's all up to you
Wait until tonight girl
If you think you're lonely now (ohh baby I'm on my way)
Wait until tonight girl
And you can be back before he even knows your gone
Take you to the peak of ecstacy... come on
It's all up to you
Wait until tonight girl
Ohh baby I'm on my way

During love makin we lose control of ourselves
Digging in my back with your nails
But you do it so well
And we both fall alseep then your Sidekick beeps
Angry messages he left on your cell
You know he's gonna yell... oh well
Do you think he suspects us
Picked up on the trail
Thinks it's time you sit him down and tell
Cause he knows you so well

And now he's out there running game on you
I'll be there at the drop of a dime
And when he thinks your at home with the kids on the couch watching tv all the time

If you think you're lonely now (ohh baby I'm on my way)
Wait until tonight girl
Cause I'm coming to scoop you up
You got the kinda love
Never get enough of messing bed spreads up
It's all up to you
Wait until tonight girl
If you think you're lonely now (ohh baby I'm on my way)
Wait until tonight girl
And you can be back before he even knows your gone
Take you to the peak of ecstacy... come on
It's all up to
Wait until tonight girl
Ohh baby I'm on my way

For every broken date you promised
For all the lies that you coulda been honest
And for your Sandra she found a Robert
I'll get right there
If you think she's lonely now

For every little dream you sold her
For the night you wasn't at home to hold her
After the drama, here comes the Karma
If you think she's lonely know

If you think you're lonely now (ohh baby I'm on my way)
Wait until tonight
Cause I'm coming to scoop you up
You got the kinda love
Never get enough of messing bed spreads up
It's all up to you
Wait until tonight girl
If you think you're lonely now (ohh baby I'm on my way)
Wait until tonight
And you can be back before he even knows your gone
Take you to the peak of ecstacy... come on
It's all up to you
Ohh baby I'm on my way

I live the life of a thug
Sold many of drugs
Whatever you name it, I've done
Laid a few cats down
I'm on some new shit now
I tell you whatever you name it, I've done
Live the life of a hustla
Keepin it gangsta
Whatever you name it, I've done
I been all around the world
Met all kinds of girls
I tell you whatever you name it, I've done

Coming up I had it bad
I never knew my dad
Only memories, a picture in a frame
He passed away when I was two
There was nothing they could do
And all I know is that they said he was the ladies man
Momma kept pressing on
Her boys kept her strong
We didn't need for much
She did it all alone
She kept her head up high
Till the day she died
Told me to never give up
Do what I gotta, to survive

I been uptown, played many games, hurt by many girls
Been all around, looking for love, but no one to trust
I been locked down with the big boys
See I changed now
The high school diploma made my momma proud

I live the life of a thug
Sold many of drugs
Whatever you name it
I've done
Laid a few cats down
I'm on some new shit now
I tell you whatever you name it, I've done
Live the life of a hustla
Keepin it gangsta
Whatever you name it, I've done
I been all around the world
Met all kinds of girls
I tell you whatever you name it, I've done

In and out of jail since 12
A juvenile so no bail
Most of my summer days, spent em' away
They gave me a B and E, first degree robbery, criminal mischief
Prosecution's on my heels now
I tried to straighting up too
I got hit by deja vu
A 9 to 5 couldn't find it
My only option was to block it
I been shot at, stabbed
You don't know the half
I was a real ass cat
Taking a look back
The life of a thug

I been uptown, played many games, hurt by many girls
Been all around, looking for love, but no one to trust
I been locked down with the big boys
See I changed now
The high school diploma made my momma proud

I live the life of a thug
Sold many of drugs
Whatever you name it
I've done
Laid a few cats down
I'm on some new shit now
I tell you whatever you name it, I've done
Live the life of a hustla
Keepin it gangsta
Whatever you name it, I've done
I been all around the world
Met all kinds of girls
I tell you whatever you name it, I've done

I been through so much
Didn't know who to trust
I could only count on me
Out in playing in these streets
Had to change up my hustle
Had to live with the struggle
Taking a dozen a blow
It's been a long time coming but I came up
And I gotta thank the Lord
Cause he gave me enough
Anything more than that I woudn't be where I'm at
Anything less I confess
Look at me now
I'm at my best

I live the life of a thug
Sold many of drugs
Whatever you name it
I've done
Laid a few cats down
I'm on some new shit now
I tell you whatever you name it, I've done
Live the life of a hustla
Keepin it gangsta
Whatever you name it, I've done
I been all around the world
Met all kinds of girls
I tell you whatever you name it, I've done

She don't make me feel like you
She don't hold me down like you
On the real she ain't you, you, you, you, you, you, you
She can't wear the crown like you
She can't put it down like you
On the real she ain't you, you, you, you, you, you, you

I like her, but I love you
She's fly, but she can't fly over you
Your love is like a brand new Bentley Coupe
Her love is like a Benz that's been used
And you just can't compare the two
The road to happiness leads back to you
Now since we been apart I done tried a few
Nobody's coming close to you

She don't make me feel like you
She don't hold me down like you
On the real she ain't you, you, you, you, you, you, you
She can't wear the crown like you
She can't put it down like you
On the real she ain't you, you, you, you, you, you, you

These other girls just can't fill your shoes
They can't walk in your Gucci boots
If I let you move on to someone new
I would feel like such a fool
That would be crazy, 'cause baby you're a winner
And everytime I'm with her I be thinking 'bout you boo
... and how she don't compare to you

She don't make me feel like you
She don't hold me down like you
On the real she ain't you, you, you, you, you, you, you
She can't wear the crown like you
She can't put it down like you
On the real she ain't you, you, you, you, you, you, you

So listen up Shorty
Girl be down for me
Ohhh Baby, my baby
I was just passing time
Trying to get you off of my mind
Baby
Now how can I prove myself
I really don't need nobody else
You're the one that I love
My angel from up above
First time I laid my eyes on you I knew you were the one
... And baby girl you're second to none
She's aight, but she's not my type
Girl it's true I wanna give you my life
And I hope one day you let me make you my wife baby
Oh, Oh, oooh baby

I used to be the kinda brother
That thought that i would never slow down
I used to swear that i don't even care what
happens but baby right now..

I see that
It changed my mind
I mean that
And it took some time
But now i understand,
I can be a better man
I never had the chance to meet a lover quite like you
You refilled another part in me
Girl your love is tried and true.

Never, Will i break your heart
Never, Will we ever part
Never, Cant believe i used to say it

I used to say
Never, Will i love this way
Never, Give my heart away
Never would this player hang his jersey up
and leave again

Never would have thought in a million years
i would be here..

Thats why i say
Never, will i know the truth
Never, will i know that you would come into
my life and make everything new
Never would have thought that i would take
your hand girl, i swear
I will never never never never never say never again, again, again..

Baby, baby.. 6x

There's no question that i love you
I know we had our ups and downs
But through the tears i know
there is nowhere i can say i rather be right now

I see that, you are my shining star
I mean that, that you got my heart and now


i hold your hand cause you make me a stronger man
I wish that could place the whole world in front of you
but a man is just a man so baby here my vow to you baby

Never, Will i break your heart
Never, Will we ever part
Never, Cant believe i used to say it

I used to say
Never,Will i love this way
Never, Give my heart away
Never would this player hang his jersey up
and leave again

Never would have thought in a million years
i would be here

Thats why i say
Never, will i know the truth
Never, will i know that you would come into
my life and make everything new
Never would have thought that i would take
your hand girl, i swear
I will never never never never never say never

From the day you came along
I sung a brand new song
Cause i hold baby clear to see
That you are a special part of me
Before i had no clue i was lost
till i found you baby
Girl i wanna make the whole world understand
I'm proud to be your man
I'm about to say
I cant believe i used to say

Never, Will i love this way
Give my heart away
Never would this player hang his jersey up
and leave again

Never.. no no never..
No, no, no , no, no, no
I will never say never again.

We can hit the sofa,
Cuddle up, satellite service
Ohh baby whatever, let me accommodate ya
Is there anything you like for me to change

She was just an ex of a nigga
Who kept her from her fullest potential
Always played games with her mental
And every type of shit to make her self esteem little
But now her days are always so fly
She's a diamond on the rough no lie
I'm rough enough to make the diamond shine
Just like a trophy on my 'pode held high
And now I know, oh I know

And she's good to me, great to me
She crowned me to be the King
Now what you think if that?
Cause she's down for me, my homie, my tangeroni only
Now what you think of that?
'Cause she stay real with me, deal with me, perfect to be my wife
Now what you think if that?
She's beautiful to me and I don't care what you think of that
Now, what you think of that?
Hey

She always keep it at a hundred
Never caught fake, phony, or frontin'
Always show me love when I want it
And never lose her cool over nothing
I admit she a gift no lie
The type of girl that you'd be dumb to pass by
She's a blessin' when she came in my life
And I'm so happy that she's mine, oh mine
I know, Oh I know!

This is dedicated to the woman
That's makin' it
Through the struggling and taking it inside

Listen here

Good man, good woman
Hooked up and they had a couple of children
Four kids, look what the lord did
Smilin' on my parents with a blessing

And even though their days wouldn't be long
Momma looked around and daddy's gone
But we weren't alone
Until the lord called her home

She's in a place with my little sister
From time to time man I really miss her
And as for my dad, from what I understand
He was a strong man
And I know they're back together

Poppa went first, and momma went last
But I ain't mad, cuz I know that
They're back together again, up in heaven
When the sun shines down
There's a smile on my face
There ain't no doubt when I think about
Where they went
And they're back together, together again

I wish I could tell em
All of the things I never got to tell him
But I'm sure he knows
Told him so
And even when I start stressin'
I think of what a good time they're havin'

And the bottom line is
Man I know this

She's gone upstairs with my little sister
And I can clearly see the picture
Julie and my dad
How can I be mad
When the lord has brought them together

See poppa went first, and momma went last
And I ain't mad, cuz I know that
They're back together again, up in heaven
As the sun shines down
There's a smile on my face
There's no doubt, there's no doubt when I think about
Where they went
Cuz they're back together again

Even though that my parents just wasn't in the plans
See, when I was a young man I didn't understand
Now I'm all grown up, and I'm missing your touch
The portrait in the frame, it's just not enough
All the dreams I've been chasin' after everyday
The memories just won't seem to fade away
There's only one thing, I'll tell you something
I know that they're dancing up in heaven through the lord's grace

Cause poppa went first, and momma went last
And I said I ain't mad cuz I know where they went
Up in heaven, upon high
When the sun shines down, and the rain starts to pour
I know?sister I know
You're dancing in the sky
Said I wrote this song about it, and I'm real real proud about it
I know you're dancing in the sky
Yeah?
