I
took you for the projects
Put the best clothes in your closet
Like ginger from casino
And now you a pro
We was like Joe DiMaggio
and Marilyn Monroe
All your jealous girlfriends hatin',
waitin'
So I put the cards in your hand
All I know with Nas was your man
It was so real, boats and sixes
Special Japanese chefs
makin' home -cooked dishes
Plenty trips, invisible sets
You know what you missin'?
It's funny cause, for a while,
I walked around with a smile but
Deep inside, I could hear voices
telling me this ain't right
Don't you know, it's not for you,
I always knew what I had to do
But it's hard to get away,
cause I love you, I just tried
I used to say I didn't do it but I did it
After telling everybody
that I wasn't with it
These tears in my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I'm gonna be alright
I said I didn't know it but I did it
After telling everybody
that I wasn't with it
These tears to my eyes I can feel it
And that voice inside says
I'm gonna be alright
Friends of mine say to me
Say you've got control over me
You're not alone, I played my part
I saw the way you were from the start
Cause I expect so much from you
You had a girl when I first met
you did the best that you could do,
now I realize I can't change you
I used to say I couldn't do it, but I did it
I've been telling everybody
that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes,
I can feel it
And I know inside, I'ma be alright
I said I couldn't do it, but I did it
I've been telling everybody
that I wasn't with it
Though it tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside, I'ma be alright
Said I wouldn't walk away
Some days I want to stay,
but leaving you is what I need
to do to be okay
Never thought it would be true,
me living without you
Cause life is crazy, I'm checkin'
Yo, nobody understands me,
I'm dealing with pressure
My peoples is locked in a jail cell
with no bell stressin'
Guess it's the life of a kingpin,
rap Stephen King
Rap bling like neon lights,
we gon' be alright
But it's like you feelin' me lesser
Claim I'm actin' like a retard, right?
Me and my boys, we start fights
When will I mature?
You scream I'm in the streets all night
Oh, where was I at?
You found light brown hairs on my hat
I'm so caught I do it, but I did it
After tellin' everybody
that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes,
I can feel it
And I know inside I'll be alright
I said I couldn't do it, but I did it
After tellin' everybody
that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes,
I can feel it
And that voice inside
says it's gonna be alright
