The most incredible baby

Uhh mmm mmm mmm mmm

Yeah yeah uhh

I can't see 'em comin down my eyes

So I gotta make the song cry

I can't see 'em comin down my eyes

So I gotta make the song cry

Good dudes I know you love me like cooked food

Even though a ni**a got move like a crook move

We was together on the block since free lunch

We shoulda been together havin 4 Seasons brunch

We used to use umbrellas to face the bad weather

Now we travel first class to change the forecast

Never in bunches just me and you

I loved your point of view cause you held no punches

Still I left you for months on end

It's been months since I checked back in

Somewhere in a small town lockin a mall down

Woodgrain four and change Armor All'd down

I can understand why you want a divorce now

Though I can't let you know it pride won't let me show it

Pretend to be heroic that's just one to grow with

But deep inside a ni**a so sick

I can't see 'em comin down my eyes

So I gotta make the song cry

I can't see 'em comin down your eyes

So I gotta let the song cry

I know I see it comin down your eyes

When I gotta make the song cry

I can't see it comin down my eyes

So I gotta make the song cry

On repeat the CD of Big's Me and My B**ch

Watchin Bonnie and Clyde pretendin to be that sh*t

Empty gun in your hand sayin' let me see that clip

Shoppin sprees pull out your Visa quick

You know I got very bad credit you helped me lease that whip

You helped me get the keys to that V dot 6

We was so happy poor but when we got rich

That's when our signals got crossed and we got flipped

Rather mine I don't know what made me leave that sh*t

Made me speed that quick let me see that's it

It was the cheese helped them b**ches get amnesia quick

I used to cut up they buddies now they sayin they love me

Used to tell they friends I was ugly and wouldn't touch me

Then I showed up in that dubbed out buggy

And then they got fussy and they don't remember that

And I don't remember you

I can't see it comin down my eyes

But I gotta make the song cry

I can't see it comin down my eyes

But I gotta make the song cry

Oh yeah I've seen 'em comin down your eyes

But I gotta make the song cry

I can't see it comin down my eyes

But I gotta make the song cry

A face of stone was shocked on the other end of the phone

Word back home is that you had a special friend

So what was oh so special then

You have given away without gettin at me

That's your fault how many times you forgiven me

How was I to know that you was plain sick of me

I know the way a ni**a livin was whack

But you don't get a ni**a back like that

Sh*t I'm a man with pride you don't do sh*t like that

You don't just pick up and leave and leave me sick like that

You don't throw away what we had just like that

I was just f**kin them girls I was gon' get right back

They say you can't turn a bad girl good

But once a good girl's goin bad she's gone forever

I'll mourn forever

Sh*t I gotta live with the fact I did you wrong forever

I can't see 'em comin down my eyes

So I gotta make the song cry

I can't see 'em comin down my eyes

So I gotta let the song cry

Oh yeah I seen 'em comin' down your eyes

But I gotta make the song cry

I can't see 'em comin' down my eyes

But I gotta make the song cry

Let's break it down
