They say he was a monster from birth, so Fuck it, I'll just a lean warn-os them hoes I suppose O took on the street life Even though my mother told me I could be otherwise Wasn't the school type, I was too cool My agenda wasn't general education, nigga

You know I thought I had it all y'all It seems that I'm wasting time Even though I've tried Guess I've done it all wrong I wish that I Wish that I could help us But I gotta take off, off, off For once in my life I gotta take off, off, off

Sometimes I wake up crying at night And sometimes I scream out your name When for so long you were mine What right does she have to take your heart away I can't find a reason to let go Even though you've found a new love And she's what your dreams are
