Aight shorty, dim the lights

I need to concentrate

Just gon' practice my breathing

{*deep breaths*}



[Verse One]

Hey girl, huh, I miss you a lot

Walkin through the streets and passin some of our favorite spots

It brings, tears to my eyes

Like soul food Sundays, and hot peach cobbler pies

I remember those lovely days

The ancient days, when I, used to say

"Girl it takes too long to get from the North to the Southside"

Deep down, I didn't really mind, the long ride

Even though I tried to keep my composure

Knowin that I owed ya hella loot

And no such funds just to even go dutch

The pressure on my manhood was way too much

Therefore I didn't know how to act

Tryin to be a man while ridin on your back

I was embarassed everytime your girlfriends bought you fine items

I just wanted to be like them

Cause I knew you deserved it, and was definitely worth it

And your love, I wasn't tryin to purchase it







Just to, show appreciation

By then, you was on a different station



[Chorus - singing]

Reasons so deep for us to understand

I come, to hold, your hand



[Verse Two]

One reason I was workin so hard, on my music

I wasn't tryin to lose it

I just wanted to stand on my own two feet

And have independence complete

Some of the things you wanted, I just couldn't see

But our whole relationship was consumed in anger

Danger of the feeling stranger, cause I was feeling

all this depression, and you was feeling

crazy aggressions from the abuse of your old man

For reasons so deep it caused us not to understand

each other, although we tried

And, both of us lied

We wanted to succeed

Only to be self-defeated by a mechanism t
