0:10Here's what you want right
0:13Here's what you need right
0:16We got to give you more
0:18Of what you're lookin' for
0:20So it's a secret that's been pent up inside for years
0:23Exclusive type
0:24Only for your eyes and ears
0:25You held it in for so long you bursted into tears
0:28The letters spilled slowly across the page like a world premiere
0:31Well I ain't
0:32The b******t begins here
0:34The obvious cause
0:35The effects is unclear
0:36The punishment for crimes of the heart could be severe
0:39Though to keep it on the low is a heavy cross to bear
0:41You deep now
0:42Submerged with no signs of air
0:44Still your sunken heart thumpin' like the kick in a snare
0:47While on the surface it's all turnin' to a circus
0:49That's why you're nervous
0:50And you got a right to be
0:52Cause if somebody woulda done that s**t to me
0:54I mean my best man hittin' my wife to be
0:57My sentiments exactly would be history
1:00Why'know what I'm sayin my peoples in the place let's hit it off one two
1:09Yo
1:11It's like nothin' changed
1:17It's all the same thang
1:19The same characters in a book
1:25With different names
1:28It's a lot more to lose than you got to gain
1:32You a lot more confused than hip to the game
1:34The peep the script of the game the price is pain
1:37Men and women get into things
1:38Now who's to blame
1:39When everybody whisperi'n bout whatever took place
1:42And how the fact twist a knot with a straight face
1:45And lies
1:45Hard to swallow from the bitter taste
1:47Well that's a point in the past that can't be erased
1:50So motivate
1:51Though it's hard to let it ride
1:52Or set aside true feelings
1:54Underhand dealings
1:55Our lost trust
1:56I wonder if we lost us
1:58It's bigger than me and you
1:59It's monstrous
2:00So I'ma
2:01Just calm down and try to relax
2:04Before I clap
2:06If you could only flash back and undo our actions
2:16Change what happens
2:21Dissect the fractions
2:24A time to rewind and be recorded absent
2:33For real cause these memories is photographic
2:37Pornographic
2:38Pushing me close to madness
2:40Head heavy like I'm trippin' on tablets
2:43Yesterday as I recall was all fabulous I thought so
2:46But now it feel like shots hittin' my torso
2:52Spent a lotta time and trust in the wrong place
2:59Fought a lotta fights rollin' with the wrong ace
3:04Love
3:04Stronger than pride
3:07We could end disgrace
3:11I need
3:13Room the think
3:15And space to ventilate
3:19Was solid as a rock
3:22Shall not disintegrate
3:28Thoughts racing like the lunatics on the interstate
3:38For real
3:40Ya
3:41It's ill
3:46Ya
3:48My peoples in the place
Here's what you want right Here's what you need right We got to give you more Of what you're lookin' for So it's a secret that's been pent up inside for years Exclusive type Only for your eyes and ears You held it in for so long you bursted into tears The letters spilled slowly across the page like a world premiere Well I ain't The b******t begins here The obvious cause The effects is unclear The punishment for crimes of the heart could be severe Though to keep it on the low is a heavy cross to bear You deep now Submerged with no signs of air Still your sunken heart thumpin' like the kick in a snare While on the surface it's all turnin' to a circus That's why you're nervous And you got a right to be Cause if somebody woulda done that s**t to me I mean my best man hittin' my wife to be My sentiments exactly would be history Why'know what I'm sayin my peoples in the place let's hit it off one two Yo It's like nothin' changed It's all the same thang The same characters in a book With different names It's a lot more to lose than you got to gain You a lot more confused than hip to the game The peep the script of the game the price is pain Men and women get into things Now who's to blame When everybody whisperi'n bout whatever took place And how the fact twist a knot with a straight face And lies Hard to swallow from the bitter taste Well that's a point in the past that can't be erased So motivate Though it's hard to let it ride Or set aside true feelings Underhand dealings Our lost trust I wonder if we lost us It's bigger than me and you It's monstrous So I'ma Just calm down and try to relax Before I clap If you could only flash back and undo our actions Change what happens Dissect the fractions A time to rewind and be recorded absent For real cause these memories is photographic Pornographic Pushing me close to madness Head heavy like I'm trippin' on tablets Yesterday as I recall was all fabulous I thought so But now it feel like shots hittin' my torso Spent a lotta time and trust in the wrong place Fought a lotta fights rollin' with the wrong ace Love Stronger than pride We could end disgrace I need Room the think And space to ventilate Was solid as a rock Shall not disintegrate Thoughts racing like the lunatics on the interstate For real Ya It's ill Ya My peoples in the place
