See I'm a wanted man
barely living in these streets. Since child support saw fit to put a warrant out on me. Say I owe em sixty-five hundred and they want their money. And it's so funny cause they know, I Ain't got that kinda dough. Like it's my fault that she got on welfare. I told her we can go half on the simliac and the daycare. But no, she got comfortable at the bottom and wanted to stay there. And I don't know how this gonna turn out. So y'all keep me in your prayers. Oh, this crazy, lazy lady Using this baby for revenge and money And I don't think it's funny that she plays the innocent mother. When it's the other way around, she ain't needy, she greedy. See when I start back working they gonna take all my dough. And then they wonder well, what the hell ain't working for. All of this attention on this boy about some back shild support. When they killing each other by the dozens out here. Every day just for sport With bills stacked up to his chinny-chin-chin summoning him to court. Then all of his friends call him a worry-wart. Now all the money they gave her, I gotta give it back. Like I was the one living rent free and getting food stamps. Oh, this crazy, lazy lady Using this baby for revenge and money And I don't think it's funny that she plays the innocent mother. When it's the other way around, she ain't needy, she greedy. No, say it again y'all. Get your own ma. Get your own ma. You're just greedy. Oh, this crazy, lazy lady Using this baby for revenge and money And I don't think it's funny that she plays the innocent mother. When it's the other way around, she ain't needy, she greedy. Oh, this crazy, lazy lady Using this baby for revenge and money And I don't think it's funny that she plays the innocent mother. When it's the other way around, she ain't needy, she greedy. |

Must be nice
Having someone who understands the life you live Must be nice Having someone whose slow to take and quick to give Must be nice Having someone who sticks around when the rough times get thick Someone whose smile is bright enough to make the projects feel like a mansion Must be nice Having someone who loves you despite your faults Must be nice Having someone who talks the talk but also walks the walk Must be nice Having someone who understands that a thug has feelings too Someone who loves you for sho' You just remember to never let 'em go [Chorus] 'Cause even when your hustling days are gone She'll be by your side still holding on Even when those twenties stop spinning And all those gold-digging women disappear She'll still be here Must be nice Having someone you can come home to from a long day of work Must be nice Having someone you don't have to show; they know exactly where it hurts Must be nice Having someone who trusts you despite what they've heard Someone as mighty as a lion but still as gentle as a bluebird Must be nice Having someone you don't have to tell you don't want to be alone Must be nice Having someone you can grow old with until God calls y'all home Must be nice Having someone who understands that a thug has feelings too Someone who loves you for sho' You just remember to never let 'em go [Chorus x 3] |

[1st Verse:]
I know a lot of women gonna hate it but, somebody's gotta say it And so I nominated myself to deliver the news that its hard for a man to choose a lady that already got a baby Although his feelings may be strong Having kids that don't belong to him holding on to him somehow seems wrong to him Exposing them to a man who may one day decide he's tired of the family life And now he's gotta tell that little girl a goodbye lie when he's the only Dad she's ever had in her life I don't want to take that chance please don't take offense it's just the thought of hurting somebody that was innocent [Chorus:] She got kids And I don't know if I'm ready to give Them the things that they need to live 'Cause if we become more than just friends what I do for her I gotta do for them kids She got kids And I just want to make sure this is more than just some sexual trip See all I want to do is prevent those kids from getting hurt again [2nd Verse:] Most men think it but they'll never say it but what if ya'll had another baby And he's accused of choosing favorites, and they're right Would he be wrong for loving his own flesh and blood a little more Is he being human or only being immature who's to say that's why it's better just to wait take love day to day and let love spread its own wings and if it wants to fly away or if it decides to stay it won't be because of any unrealistic expectations ya'll done made and he won't have to pray that little girl ain't awake when he tiptoe out the door so he won't have to explain I don't want to take that chance please don't take offense I just don't need that kinda drama on my conscience Ohhh ooooo [Chorus] [Repeat] |

[1st Verse:]
Lord they really think they fooling you by coming to church on Sunday praying and laying hands on folks stomping and jumping around faking the holy ghost but its a thin line between walking it and talking it living it and giving it or just pretending it's alright and did they really think that they could pull the wool over your eyes lord did they really think that by faking they were saved that they would get the same reward this be the realest thing I ever wrote for sure after this a lot of folks won't like me no mo' but after this I gotta go answer to you Lord so I've made up my mind I'm a go to church on Sunday and sing a song that may hurt somebody's feelings so that maybe thy will, will be done on earth as it is in heaven and hopefully they will see how much they really be discouraging a little old sinner like me [2nd Verse:] And Lord who they think they jiving by singing these songs full of glory then out in the world it's a different story I'm running out of people to pray for me I'm not trying to act like I'm the perfect man but if you speak about it, you should be about it not just preach about it all day cause if you do you run the risk of chasing some of the most beautiful people away and it is never my intention to discourage you rather encourage you to change your life today this be the realest thing I ever had to say, but after this a lot of folks won't like me no mo' but after this I gotta go answer to you Lord so I've made up my mind I'm a go to church on Sunday and sing a song that may hurt somebody's feelings so that maybe thy will, will be done on earth as it is in heaven and hopefully they will see how much they really be discouraging a little old sinner like me |

Yeah, a lot a mysteries, a lot a histories
Too much blowin' up and showin' up, and not enough growin' up I mean it happens, people change, yeah A brother changes everyday but ah, most of all we changed Sometimes makin' up is easier than breakin' up We believe if we just fake it enough We can trick ourselves into believing That we're still in love But in our hearts we know that it's inevitable Though it's hard to let you go I know I must Sometimes memories just ain't enough Sometimes you out grow the ones you love Sometimes it's none of the above It's just a fact that people change No one's to blame There ain't nothing that stays the same So we sit around an cry because neither one of us Wants to be the first to say goodbye Sometimes giving second chances is easier than dealing with the fact That once the trust is gone you can never get it back But you're holding on because you're afraid of being alone So here you are holding on to something that's already gone And don't act like it's the first time you've heard it in this song 'Cause your heart done told you all along If your momma done showed you right from wrong Nothing should hold you down this long There's no one to blame Nothing stays the same So we sit around an cry because neither one of us Wants to be the first to say goodbye, bye, my love, oh So let me be first to say goodbye |

La la la la la la la la la
We gon' put some people back together today, ha La la la la la la la la la Somebody gon' thank me after this song, man La la la la la la la Matter of fact, I'm a thank me right now La la la la la la la, oh Girl, I apologize I'm to blame And I can't sympathize with your pain If I could I'd make it go away But I can't So I concentrate on more realistic things Like questioning Is there anything here worth salvaging? [Bridge] Is it over? How do we go about deciding? Do we add up all the good times then divide them By how many times we hurt each other Or do we just ignore the numbers and vow right now to never ever take asunder? [Chorus] Let's stay together Can we agree to just disagree? Let's stay together Don't do it for the kids, do it for me Let's stay together I'm tired of all this making up and breaking up Let's stay together (together) Let's stay together, yeah Girl, I can't justify what I've done Ain't got no reasons why, not even one I pray to God what seems like every morning for the sun To shine on us just one more time And let me hold you in my arms, and we'd just cry [Bridge] [Chorus] (Aight' you wanna make me say it, you wanna make me say it) See, if you leave (I would not die physically) But emotionally (Might as well bury me) For I can't be the man I should have been Before all of this happened But if we hold on (And ask God for direction) Where we went wrong (We can make the correction if we) Just stay strong All of our up and downs Fully come around And there will be nothing that can shake us Nothing that can break us We will stay together [Chorus] (Put your hands together, man) This is where it all comes to a head at Are all these years worth nothing? Is it over? You don't wanna be with him He don't wanna be with you Hell, you done made some mistakes too He done made some mistakes You done made some mistakes before, man Work it out, man And you dudes out there Anybody can be slick at talking Anybody can be slick at talking, man Try to be slick at listening, man Your work is at home It ain't in the streets, it's at home So get there, get there And stay there |

[INTRO]
You know my momma said there's only two things in life that are constant: That's change and change [1ST VERSE] It feels like somethings' missing but I just don't know, It's like I'm not the same man that I was, no more and all these crazy places that I usually know, are just not as exciting as they were before. I think about u constantly, It surprises me, how I've changed, my friends are coming down on me, saying a player never changes the game. [CHORUS] Those fellows live in Never Never Land right next to peter pan cause nobody wants to grow old, Those fellows live in Never Never Land they'll never understand what it's like to be in love. Never Never Land right next to peter pan cause nobody wants to grow old, Those fellows live in Never Never Land they'll never understand what its like to be in love. [2ND VERSE] It feels like somethings' moving inside of me, my heart is doing backflips in spite of me, and there's no place that I would rather be than with you and my kids, my family I think about u constantly, u gonna be my wife eventually It don't matter what my friends say to me, there's no changing my mind, so you all just pray for me. [CHORUS] Never Never Land right next to peter pan cause nobody wants to grow old, Those fellows live in Never Never Land they'll never understand what its like to be in love. Never Never Land right next to peter pan cause nobody wants to grow old, Those fellows live in Never Never Land they'll never understand what its like to be in love. [BRIDGE] Hold up wait a minute, I'm a hustler don't be putting my woman in it, She ain't got nothing to do with this bullshit, She is a deacon she chills in the pulpit (AH UR WRONG DAWG) I don't even need to say no more, You ain't got the disease, but u expect the cure, Down on your knees praying for that new porche while she's walking out that door, (SHE'S WALKING OUT THAT DOOR) [CHORUS] Those fellows live in Never Never Land right next to peter pan cause nobody wants to grow old, Those fellows live in Never Never Land they'll never understand what it's like to be in love. Never Never Land right next to peter pan cause nobody wants to grow old, Those fellows live in Never Never Land they'll never understand what its like to be in love. [LYFE TO JAY-Z] And I don't care what they told you 30 is not the new 20 its the same old 30 don't be mad at me Jay I'm just the messenger baby, I'm just the messenger! |

(featuring Erin)
1st Verse: What if I broke our monogamous agreement What if I told you I lied but didn't mean it What if my one mistake had the potential to break up our happy home Would you wanna know What if I confessed it and though she didn't mean nothing since it happened You're thinking about leaving What if I suppressed it and made a vow to never mess with another Is it cool for me to smother the facts Is it cool for me to cover my tracks if you'd never know Or would me not being honest hurt you more Chorus: Hypothetically of course Are there some things better left unsaid Or would you rather know instead Hypothetically of course Are there some wars not worth fighting Some tears not worth crying Hypothetically of course What if this happened to you what would you want me to do 2nd Verse: Well what if I told you that I had a confession What if I said 4 years ago when we were arguing he came to comfort me and I wound up pregnant And I just can't say for sure if the baby's yours What if I confessed it and it turns out not to be your baby after you get tested And it destroys what we've been blessed with What if I suppress it 'cause technically you're the baby's daddy anyway Is it wrong for me to want you to stay Would you rather have me tear you away From the only family you know Or is this just too big a secret to keep it on the low Chorus/Bridge: Would you wanna know Would you wanna know Tell me what you'd do Would you walk away or would you stay Would you wanna know Would you wanna leave the past behind us Or are you afraid that one day it might find us Would it even matter could it even matter should it even matter |
