INTRO (JAY-Z)
I MEAN USHER, IS THIS WHERE IT COMES TO, MAN
THIS HOW WE GON DO IT
I MEAN EVEN GRASS GROW BABY YOU KNOW
SEEDS BECOME PLANTS
BOYS BECOME MEN
WHAT WE GON DO
LET'S LEAD THE WAY
UH WRAPPED AROUND ALL GIRLS LIKE PAHIMENAS
WHAT'S MY DEMEANOR
THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE
THINK ABOUT CAN'T GIVE HER RINGER
I CAN'T GIVE A F***
HOW COULD I GIVE A FINGER
LET ALONE HAVE BATH IN CLOSET
SO CLAUSTROPHOBIC IN FEAR OF A CLOSE OBJECT
NOW IT SORT A LIKE TWO CAR GARAGES
IT'S LIKE TWO BROADS MONAGE
YOU'RE THE BEST MAMA

VERSE1
IS THERE ANY CHANCE
THAT YOU REMEMBER ME BEING MORE THAN JUST A HORRIBLE MAN
AND WOULD YOU CONSIDER
PULLIN' THIS TRIGGER AND TAKIN' THE SECOND SHOT OF ROMANCE
OH BABE
I KNOW THE DAYS WHEN YOU WERE MY GIRL
AND I WAS YOUR MAN
NO ONE TAKE YOU FOR GRANTED
BUT IT WASN'T TIL NOW I SEE HOW MUCH I MISS YOU
GIRL, I'M SORRY THAT I RAN THE STREETS ACTIN' LIKE A DAMN FOOL
BUT FOR ONCE IT GOES A TRUTH

CHORUS
I CAN'T BE FAKE
I CAN'T BE PHONY
ACTING ALL HARD LIKE MY HOMIE'S LONELY
I TRIED TO FLEX
I CONFESS
WHEN YOU LEFT YOU TOOK THE VERY BEST THING
THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME
YOU TOOK MY BEST THING
THE BEST THING THAT I'D EVER SEEN
YOU TOOK THE BEST THING
THE BEST THING THAT I'D EVER HEY
AND NOW ALL I FEEL IS STRESS
BABY WHEN YOU LEFT YOU TOOK THE VERY BEST...

VERSE 2
REMEMBER MIMI, AVEDA
REMEMBER AIESHA, AIEVA
I AIN'T GOT 'EM NO MORE
HEY IT'S NAOMI AND JENNY
BUT THE SAME OUTCOME JUST CHILLIN'
GIRL, I LET THEM ALL GO
OOH NO MORE TRICKIN AND KISSIN' MISCELLANEOUS CHICKS ACTIN'A JERK
WOMAN I'VE BEEN TO THE CHURCH
AND TALKED TO THE BISHOP
AND HE WANTED ME TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU
HOW MUCH I MISS YOU
I'M SO SORRY THAT I RAN THE STREETS ACTIN' LIKE A DAMN FOOL
ONE FOR ONCE HERE GOES THE TRUTH,HEY

CHORUS

RAP (JAY-Z)
UH MOMMA TRIED TO TELL ME HOVY-HOV SLOW IT DOWN
YOU GON LOSE YOUR BEST THING
IF YOU KEEP GETTIN' ROUND LIKE PAC
NEED A PARTNER WHEN YOU OLD TO HOLD YOU DOWN
MA FOREVER YOUNG WAS FOREVER NONE
SORRY STATES SORRY DONE
YOU MILLION AND ALL OF THEM
ALL OF THEM WAS FORTY TIMIN'
IT WASN'T YOU IT WAS HIM
SCHOOL ME ONCE SCHOOL ME TWICE
THREE TIMES I WAS DONE
NOW IT'S SO PLAIN TO SEE TO ME
I GOT THE ONE
YOU'RE THE BEST MAMA

CHORUS
