Can't Be Together
[Verse 1] I thought we had a "Love Jones" like Lorenz Tate and Nia Long But I was quite wrong, it started out sweet and got spoiled It's funny how this whole shit boiled down I woulda never macked to you, if I knew, what I knew now A straight witch with curvacious hips, the sex good attitute foul I shoulda known then - but I seen something in your eyes And the challenge of taming that ass had me open wide My mans told me that I shouldn't sweat you 'Cause of the way that I met you, it was a conflict of interest And you were nineteen, very inmature in the brain And I was already past that stage; years ago But I was walking through the course with a blindfold Realistically should've known that you was just a scandalous hoe Scheme on your daughter Mrs. Estée Lauder See a very hot dish, I had to put in my order And maybe I could get a belly full I got pull like little kids on mom's sweater But it all turned out to be a big fiasco indeed Now she playing lots of games with my seed, what could it be? [Chorus] How can I say that I'm sorry When I still got so much pain in my heart Said I'd be there for you and you there for me But my lovin' is what ripped us apart SongtexteNow we can't be together [Verse 2] Stressed out, most times brings my best out Overdue on the rent 'bout to get kicked out Hit the streets hard, tryin' to build up some scraps Fell on my face hard, now I gotta start from scratch I know I got it; make plans switch up moves I'm a capricorn, never will you see me lose I gotta bigger things on my mind than chicks and weed The future of my seed and my team on my bean and it seems I gotta work harder for mine While niggaz get lucky and get on first time Shine quick, die fast, not built to last I'm first class, straight up y'all albums trash Court dates got me screwfaced, drive me to drink I gotta show up, or they gon' throw me straight in the clink I wash my face in the sink, sit down to think Flood the page with ink, imagine my daughter in all pink High with my face to the sky, exhale the fumes Eyes glassed on to a Marvin Gaye tune And the friends that I thought was friends left me in the cold Swim around in circles like I'm in a fish bowl [Chorus] [Verse 3] The realest chick I ever met stayed on set When I was soaking wet and deep in debt She was my warmth in the cold My shelter in the storm, my rose in hell The last verse to my greatest tale And she held me down through the segment Even though I went and got this other chick pregnant She was the one I shoulda been faithful to, my faith's in you Now it's us two as long as it lasts The vision of my daughter's mom shattered like glass 'Cause I realized that wasn't love, that was just ass How could it last - and moms told me it'd be days like this All my love for my wife yo I'll seal with a kiss [Chorus x2] Aus Songtexte Mania
