THE LETTER


Yeah that's her, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
All the broken hearts and the unpaid dues
What you did to me, what I did to you
I ain't mad at you, boo, so what we gonna do
I just seen you out with your new man
It's lookin' kind of happy, I'm feelin' like somebody just slapped me
My gut's in a knot, my temp's gettin' hot
I wanna make that man bleed and wear this speed knot
'Cause he ain't got what we had and it makes me kind of mad
I hurt my one true love just like my dad
And it's kinda sad 'cause now my s***'s together
No need for umbrellas I can see the stormy weather
I'm goin' outside into the rain like Keith Sweat
'Cause I can't house this pain, we was workin' for years
Now I'm jerkin' these tears from my lips to God's ears, girl
I did you wrong, so I'm makin' this song
To let you know how I feel, before I'm keepin' it real
May keep my heart concealed and now I'm on the side
Just patiently waitin', watchin' on you when the time for updatin'
I can't hide from the truth I know the puddin's in the proof
So I stand convicted like all your friends predicted
But I'd think you'd be surprised on how this ends brothers
We went from lovers to friends we'll go from friends to lovers
So if that man make you smile I guess that I'll just accept it
And respect it, I'll hit you with this song and let you think about it
Then I'll just leave you alone and be a man about it
