took you for the projects
Put the best clothes in your closet
All your jealous girlfriends hatin',
So I put the cards in your hand
All I know with Nas was your man
It was so real, boats and sixes
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 couldn't do it but I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Oh, these tears in my eyes
And I know inside I'm gonna be alright
I said I didn't know it but I did it
These tears to my eyes I can feel it
And that voice inside says
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
Though it brings tears to my eyes,
And I know inside, I'ma be alright
I said I couldn't do it, but I did it
I've been telling everybody
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
Never thought it would be true,
Cause life is crazy, I'm checkin'
Yo, nobody understands me,
I'm dealing with pressure
My peoples is locked in a jail cell
Guess it's the life of a kingpin,
Rap bling like neon lights,
But it's like you feelin' me lesser
Claim I'm actin' like a retard, right?
Me and my boys, we start fights
You scream I'm in the streets all night
You found light, brown hairs on my hat
I'm so caught I do it, but I did it
Though it brings tears to my eyes,
And I know inside I'll be alright
I said I couldn't do it, but I did it
Though it brings tears to my eyes,
And that voice inside says
