Uh, this for you girl Yo, I took you from the projects, put the best clothes in ya closet Like Ginger from “Casino” and now you a pro We was like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe All ya jealous girlfriends hatin’ waitin’ So I put the cards in yo hand All I know is Nas was yo 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 coz 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 got to stay
You used to say I couldn’t do it but I did it (Yes I did) After telling everybody that I wasn’t with it (Oh yeah) Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And I know inside that I’m gonna be alright (Gonna be alright) I said I couldn’t do it but I did it (Yes I did) After telling everybody that I wasn’t with it (Oh yeah) Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And that voice inside says I’m gonna be alright (Gonna be alright)
Friends of mine say to me Say you got control over me You’re not alone, I played my part I saw the way you were from the start Could 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
You used to say I couldn’t do it but I did it (Yes I did) After telling everybody that I wasn’t with it (Oh yeah) Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And I know inside that I’m gonna be alright (Gonna be alright) I said I didn’t do it but I did it (Yes I did) After telling everybody that I wasn’t with it (Oh yeah) Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And that voice inside says I’m gonna be alright (Gonna be alright)
Said I wouldn’t walk away Some days I want to stay (Days I want to stay) But leaving you is what I need to do (Need to do) To be OK (I need to be OK) I never thought it would be true (Would be true) Me living without you (Living without you)
Huh, this life is crazy
So now it’s time for me to make that move
Huh check it Yo nobody understands me, I’m dealin’ with pressure My peoples is locked in a jail cell with no bail stressin’ Guess it’s the life of a kingpin Rap Stephen King, rock bling Like neon lights, we gonna be alright But it’s like you feelin’ lesser Claim I’m actin’ like a retard Right me and my boys We start fights, well will I mature You scream I’m in the streets all night Or where was I at, ya found light brown hairs on my hat I’m slow caught
You used to say I couldn’t do it but I did it (Yes I did) After telling everybody that I wasn’t with it (Oh yeah) Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And I know inside that I’m gonna be alright (Gonna be alright) I said I couldn’t do it but I did it (Yes I did) After telling everybody that I wasn’t with it (Oh yeah) Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And that voice inside says I’m gonna be alright (Gonna be alright)
