Ode To You

It started long ago
I was just a young girl
I met this boy...I never knew he'd rock my world
Now he's a man dark skin with a airbrushed fade
I let this nigga in my life now it will never be the same
He had this swag and treated me like a lady
Fuck the money he didnt need a mercedes
Cuz he was mad real and he had mad style
the way the nigga put it down that shit drove me wild
I remember all the nights he had my legs thrown back
tuggin the back of my hair he gave that ass a smack
Then I would lay inside his arms until we fell asleep
then God gave us an angel of our own we could keep.
And what felt so good somewhere went bad
I dont want to believe it...we gave it everything we had
But now things are getting worse and your not the same person
now everytime that we're together feels like we're rehearsing
Now its like you play me...then I play you...and if you get over I write an I.O.U.
Now you hate me... so I hate you
And since I hurt you... you feel like..." Bitch Fuck You!"
Damn...its so unexpected we cant even talk without shit gettin reckless
Its got me feelin kinda foolish another broken black home Im afraid Ill look stupid.
And I dont wanna repeat history we brought a baby in the world that needs a mother and a father see
I just wanna be together but just like my mother says nothing good lasts forever
So I think I gotta let it go and just like smooth jazz Ima take it real slow.
But lets make this clear...keep it official that you supporting your son will never be an issue
Him used as a pawn could never be the issue.
Thanks for all the good times...I never will forget you
And for all the bullshit...I pray I can forgive you
And I admit some nights I honestly do miss you.
But we could never be so I reach and grab my tissue
The love is gone...wasnt in Gods plan...but we aint gotta be together to teach our boy to be a man.
