The Way Things Are

(ooh baby) ooh baby I'm sorry

But you know ive got to leave from here

(ooh baby) ooh baby I'm sorry

But you know ive got to leave from here

(ooh baby) ooh baby I'm sorry

But you know I've got to leave from here

(ooh baby)

You know I gave up everything I knew to be with you

I said peace to my friends, and my family too

I put all my stuff in storage and I built up the courage

Cause I knew I was missing something inside that you nourished

Road from east to west coast with just under two g's

A suitcase full of clothes and my mpc

Confident I'd figure out something to make ends meet

Between the times we was making love and I was making beats

Bounce for a few hours to go handle some bizz

Couldn't wait to get back just to be with my wizz

Girl you took care of me, I'll always love you for that

But you never really trusted me, so **** you for that

I know I made a few mistakes before I gave you my heart

But once we were together I deserved a fresh start

It was usually after you had too much to drink

That I would hear the insecure and twisted **** that you think

And it hurts to walk away but I can't stand the distrust

So I pack my belongings and I'm catching this bus

Sure I'll see you again, I dont know when it will be

I thought I captured your love but now im setting it free

Its like..

(ooh baby) ooh baby I'm sorry

But you know ive got to leave from here

(ooh baby) ooh baby I'm sorry

But you know ive got to leave from here

(ooh baby) ooh baby I'm sorry

But you know I've got to leave from here

(ooh baby)

You know the story but this time I'll be gone longer than november

The schedule continues all the way untill next december

You wouldn't hold me up we discussed do you remember?

My suitcase full enough I got your poems flushing picture

I'm loyal as a doggie then other *****es sniff up

A call whoa whoa how much for international minutes?

My departure is a given

This life chose me, I can't complain I love how I'm living

But enough when I get back there'll be more luther spending

Might invest in a car but if not I'm still driven

Me and you could have children forever everyday building

I'm in it for the long haul but the music needs my attention

A blessing is what I'm wishing--before--I exit

We've been through thick and thin, this isn't hectic

If you leave Im'a object at your wedding

Love is stronger than pride but it is

Kept on drug intentionally kept on drifting

Don't go she threatened use the ill niner as a ill weapon

Didn't think twice, reached out, grabbed her hand and met her eyes

And let out this sentence

(ooh baby) ooh baby I'm sorry

But you know ive got to leave from here

(ooh baby) ooh baby I'm sorry

But you know ive got to leave from here
