I surrender, dear. We've played the game of stay away But it cost more that I can pay. Without you I can't make my way, I may seem proud, I may act gay, It's just a pose, I'm not that way, 'Cause deep down in my heart I say Little mean things we were

'Cause I know he's here He's everywhere Take a look around oh and you will see That cross we bear It's in the air Lord we thank you for these gifted hands I remember the day that he came in I can't believe how long it's been Like a poet, he began to play

Lord, take me and mine before that comes And, Lord, I can't make any changes All I can do is write 'em in a song 'Cause I can see the concrete slowly creepin' Yes but I can see the concrete slowly creepin' Well, this life that I've live has took me

That I'm alright Can't say I'm sad to see you go Cause I'm not (No I'm not) Well I'm not With all the things we said And not a minute spent To think that we'd regret So we just take it back Forget the things we swore we meant

So when you see me nigga You better holla at me You better beware where you lay Gotta be careful, can't let the evil of the money trap me We better not find where you stay Niggas out there jealous 'cause we be bailin' with Death Row They try to playa

I got a man that's always late Any time we have a date But I love him Yes I love him I'm gonna walk up to his gate See if we can't get this thing straight 'Cause I want him And I'm gonna have him Say is you is, or is you ain't my baby

They don't wanna see me love you Wish I would go ahead and fuck my life up Can't let them get to me And even though I always fuck my life up Only I can mention me Revealing the layers to my soul Cause I'm from a tribe called check a hoe I been waiting

I feel like saying buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, bye Cause darling lately seems, we've been growing apart Just can't do it, do it, do it Then you love me not Can't do it (Can't do it) She says she love me Then she loves me not

Yeah, yeah, yeah Because the way I feel is oh so new to me There we were now here we are All this confusion nothing's the same to me I can't sell you the way I feel What I heard is not what I hear I can see the signs but they're not very clear This is

I only want to be with you 'Cause you started something Oh can't you see Ever since we met you've had a hold on me It happens to be true I don't know what it is that makes me love you so I only know I never want to let you go It doesn't matter where you
