Lyfe Jennings Album

25% of all men are unstable
25% of all men can't be faithful
30% of them don't mean what they say
and 10% of the remaining 20 is gay
That leaves you with 10% chance of ever finding your man
That means you better pay attention to these word that i say
Im gonna teach how to expose the 90%
And show you what to do to get the other 10

(chorus)
RULE #1
Don't be a booty call
If he dont respect you girl he gone forget you girl
AND 2
If he's in a relationship
And he would cheat on her that means he would cheat on you
RULE 3
Tell him that you're celebit
and if he want some of your goodies he gone have to work for it
RULE 4
Be the person you wanna find
Don'nt be a nickle out here lookin' for a dime
STATISTICS

(verse 2)
15% of all men got a complex
15% of all men don't practice safe sex
20% of them are from homes without a father
so there's a 50/50 chance that you'll marry a coward
something to think about when you're taking a shower
something to swallow when you drink your bottled watter
Im gonna teach how to expose the 90%
And show you what to do to get the other 10

(chorus)

(bridge)
Be patient
He's waitin'
you dont gotta settle for less
leave all that stress alon
get you a backbone
stop being sorry for yourself
Chances make champions
It's gonna take patience
Time is still wastin'

(chorus)

Verse 1:
I love it when her heart beat speeds up
I love it when she says "Go deeper"
If you don't really want her, I'll keep her
She'll be my girl

See I don't want to break up a happy home
But since she ain't happy I don't feel wrong
If you don't want to lose her and be alone
Give her the world

Hook :
'Cause there's always
Somebody that's watching your girl
There's always
Somebody feels he can do better

You gonna call me a hater
But she's gonna call me later
My advice to you player
If you want your girl, need your girl

Show her some

Chorus:
Love love love love
love love love
love love love love
love love love, yeah

Love love love love
love love love
love love love love
love love love, yeah

Verse 2:
I love it when she sends text messages
LOL, smiley face, blowy kiss
She say that she love me but she gotta resist
'Cause she's still your girl

Though I don't understand, I'll let it go for now
Cause deep down in her heart she wants to work it out
But if she ever gets tired of waiting around
She'll be my girl

Hook:
'Cause there's always
Somebody that's watching your girl
There's always
Somebody feels he can do better

You gonna call me a hater
But she's gonna call me later
My advice to you player
If you want your girl, need your girl

Show her some

Chorus:
Love love love love
love love love
love love love love
love love love, yeah

Love love love love
love love love
love love love love
love love love, yeah

Outro:
Okay question
What ever happened to affection?
Pick up the phone young man, stop texting
Put in some work, dog, like you're a Mexican
Stop the fighting, you can be a veteran
Late night, nigga, they compare you to Letterman
She the type of woman you can't do no better than
Say you got game, but you sitting on the bench again
Now you're asking "How?", you must be an Indian

Loving you is easy 'cause you're beautiful
Loving you from your head down to your cuticle

Whoa, girl

Show her some love
Show her some love
Show her some

Show her some love
Show her some

Show her some love
Show her some

(Lyfe Jennings talking):
Yeah
We always complainin about how bad stuff is for us
complainin bout a light dim
hell there's people that dont even got lights
you know so I wanna tell everybody listenin man
embrace your struggle cause no matter what man,
it coulda been worse. true story c'mon

(Verse 1)
I was going through some changes in my life
cussin and complainin every night
tellin God the way he treatin me aint right
and how i dont deserve this
then a voice somewhere came to me
and said you have the audacity
to fix your mouth to disrespect
how soon we forget
and he said remember
when you were sick and you got better
remember, i put your family back together
remember, i coulda cut you off forever so
no matter how bad you think it hurts

(Chorus)
it coulda been worse,
you coulda been dead
you coulda been paralyzed
confiined to a bed
you coulda lost everything
shoulda lost everything
but somebodys watching you
and gave you another chance
yeah

(Verse 2)
Its so funny how we think we got it rough
when there are babies who got mommas hooked on drugs
and this depression got folks losing they homes
they spent they whole life saving for
its better in comparison
tell me you'll switch places with them
you only go to God to complain
but if you ever went to Him to just say thanks
don't you remember he didn't let that disease take you
remember he didn't even get a thank you
remember how could he love you just to hate you
so no matter how bad you think it hurts

(Chorus)
It coulda been worse,
you coulda been dead
you coulda been paralyzed
confined to a bed
you coulda lost everything
shoulda lost everything
but somebody's watching you
and gave you another chance
it coulda been worse
you coulda been dead
you coulda been paralyzed
confined to a bed
coulda lost everything
shoulda lost everything
but somebody's watching you
and gave you another chance.

[Verse 1:]
I call you on the phone
You are never home
You say dat you gone
Handling business
So babe
I heard that everyday
All I can do it pray
You not losing interest
It's hard
2 know you got my heart
2 watch me fall apart
Every time you don't call
It's cool
But don't think I'm a fool
We all got things 2 do
But we make time 4 what we want

[Chorus: x2]
They own own women
They own own women
They own own women
Bu-sy

[Verse 2:]
I let you do your thing
Not get in your way
And try not 2 complain
But it's like it's useless
Cause you
Just take it as it's cool
2 conting you 2 do
Whatever like I'm STUPID
I'm not
I just love you alot
And I'm not gonna stop
I just need a little token
What 4
2 keep my heart on course
Or else I might be force 2 find love somewhere else

[Chorus: x2]
They own own women
They own own women
They own own women
Bu-sy

[Verse 3:]
"Hello"
If you don't want 2 be here let me know
"Can I call you back in like 3 minutes"
If you don't really love me let me go
"Yo, you tripping I did not send you 2 voicemail"
"I was on the phone"
Don't keep me holding on
"No, No, No see my phone just been tripping lately"
Let my heart go somewhere it belong
"My momma on the other line"

[Chorus: x4]
They own own women
They own own women
They own own women

Bu-sy

sometimes when im with you i feel like a mess
no emotion
the smell of your perfume
the scent of your lotion
floatin through the air
to another world
you gotta take me there
and it dont even it dont even
have to be mutual
knew you was the one before i was introduced to you
im not unused to you
youre the one

she dont have to ask for nothin
she can get whatever she needs
shes the one i love
shes the one i want
shes for me (x2)

sometimes when im with you i feel like im on a rollercoaster
scared to death ill do somethin im not supposed to
gotta get closer
see i wanna know you
and i been feelin i been feelin like a video ??
tap every moment im alone im rewatchin her
aint nothin stoppin her
shes the one

she dont have to ask for nothin
she can get whatever she needs
shes the one i love
shes the one i want
shes for me (x4)

Verse 1:
Young Man/ thirteen/ running the streets/ Living his dreams of being Nino Brown/ Grandmother/ who pleaded the 5th/ Baby brother/ who needed him/ His little sister/ believed in him/ He needs to slow down/
Then what happens next is something we see of a movie screen/ Then his days as a nigga came to an end/ Police found him in a pool of blood, clinging onto life/ That boy looked up and he said/

Chorus:
Tell mama/ I'm sorry/ I was wrong/ (I was wrong yeah)/ Tell mommy/ I'm sorry/ I was wrong/

Verse 2: (Anthony Hamilton)
Young girl/ Sixteen/ Running/ The same streets/ Living her dream of being Foxy Brown/ And her teacher who/ Tested her/ And an uncle who/ molested her/ Heavenly father who/ Still blessing her/ She just chose to play around/ Then/ The pain was just too much/ Then/ We are just living today and dieing tomorrow/ Said a prayer/ Then closed her eyes/ Nodded slowly/ Then said wait God before I go/ Tell mama

Chorus:
Tell mama/ I'm sorry/ I was wrong/ (I was wrong yeah!)/ Tell mommy/ I'm sorry/ I was wrong/

Breakdown:
Somethings you can change/ Somethings you can't/ Somethings will never be the same/ Some people cry/ Some people fly/ Which one will you choose in your life?/ Mama you were right all along/ Mama I was wrong/ And another young lifes gone!

[No lyrics]

[No lyrics]

She been gone, almost two weeks now
Tired as hell, but i cant sleep now
I miss my kids, and though i see them everyday it aint the same
This big house is full of echos
Im thinkin now maybe i should just let go
Cause its too big for just me
Too many memories

(Chorus)
So i pay my child support like the judge tells me too
And ill stay out all night drinkin' while im getting over you
Its sad but its true
Dont know what else i can do
Guess ill pull my fuckin' heart out on this CD like a fool
Yall better learn from this... (4x)
Mmm

I day-dream of how we used to be
And eat ice cream untill the box is clean
I miss my kids, and even though they live right up the street
Its killing me
My phone rings for what seems like hours
And when they ask for you, i say your in the shower (laughs)
Its my way of calming down
Its either that or burn this fuckin' house to the ground

(chorus)
So ill pay my child support like the judge told me too
And i stay out all night drinking while in getting over you
Its sad but its true
But im gonna do the best i can
And if by chance i dont make it, the kids tuition is my timbrlands
Learn from this.. (4x)


So i guess ill take it to the bridge (to the bridge)
Cause theres just too many and this is what it is
Its about a man who lost his woman and his kids (and his kids)
And it goes a little somthing like this (goes a little something like this)
Little miss muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her pourage away
Then along came a lion
Sat down beside her and frightened miss muffet away
Again now shes gone
She aint never come home at all
Ooh now shes gone ( learn from this)
If i could take it back
Oooo i would take it, ooo i would take it (learn from this)
Oooooooooooooo
Learn from this... ( till song fades out)

Verse 1

So I guess it's really over U done made that clear
No turning back from here
(There will be no turning back from here)
It's funny how you never miss the well
Until the waters in another glass
Though you try every trick to get her back
She ain't having none of that

Chorus
It's everything that we do comes back everytime
Everthing we say comes back every line
Everything we are we get everytime
Everything that made my mind and broke my heart
When you bestfriend told me that
You're done crying
(She said you're done crying)
Over me(Yeah, ooh)
Ohh, She said that you are done(right)
She said that she doesn't want to do this anymore
She said you're done
She said that it's over
Crying over me(yeah)

Verse 2

I guess all the lies finally drained ya
Baby I can't blame ya
You did me nothing but good
And I did you nothing but wrong
Say it never been this hard
Say it's so long understanding
If I could take it back I would
Famous words of a lonely man

Chorus

It's everything that we do comes back everytime
Everthing we say comes back every line
Everything we are we get everytime
Everything that made my mind and broke my heart
When you bestfriend told me that
You're done crying
(She said you're done crying)
Over me(Yeah, ooh)
Ohh, She said that you are done(right)
She said that she doesn't want to do this anymore
She said you're done
She said that it's over
Crying over me(yeah)
She said that it's over

It took a tragedy for me to see, for me to come back to reality
It took my family, sanity
This wasn't part of the plan for me
People talked about me, went on without me
As if I had never existed
I guess a blessing taught me a lesson
I'll remember as long as I'm living

If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down
I would not be running around, if I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down
As the world spins round and around, wish I knew then what I know now
I did it to myself, blamed nobody else

People warned me before it went down
I was out of control, drugs and alcohol, living lyfe like there was no tomorrow
And I'm not no superstar, times are super hard
I'm still finding my way dad to day
And I'm a man of my mind, I apologize, no one's perfect we all make mistakes

If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down
I would not be running around, if I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down
As the world spins round and around, wish I knew then what I know now

Spent a lot of time upset, lot of things I regret
Damn it's so hard to let it go it go
They say that this gonna pass, I know but I'm still mad
It just all happen so fast, fo sho fo sho
Mommy say lyfe is prayer, daddy say lyfe ain't fair
But at least lyfe still here, ya know ya know
If I could take it back I would, if you could take it back you should
Bad times come with the good, hold on hold on

If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down
I would not be running around, if I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now, I'd be different, I would slow down
As the world spins round and around, wish I knew then what I know now

[Bonus Track]

Tell my mama, I know its been a while since I called you.
Cause I was jealous cuz you favored my brother.
Though we disagreed I always loved ya and
Tell my baby mama it wasn't my intention to hurt her
hope you find someone that deserve ya
I hope there's no hard feelings
If I could rewrite one sentence of my life
I would write the words I never say
tell you I love you every single day
see if I could somehow turn back the hands of time
I wouldn't waste a moment arguing
I'll never put you through that shit again

[Chorus]
Cuz If tomorrow never comes
and you never see me again
I don't want yo last memories of me
to be filled with negativity
See if tomorrow never comes
all that fussing and fighting
wont mean nothing when its said and done
if tomorrow never comes

And tell my auntie, that I was the one who broke the TV
I know that it happened in 93'
but I just had to get it off my chest, I guess
and tell my kids, that they will be especially missed
and if there's anything they should learned from this
is life is a gift tomorrows not promised no
if I could rewrite one sentence of my life
I would write the words I never say
tell you I loved you every single day
see if I could turn back the hands of time
I would say what's on my mind
and tell you thank you for being in my life

[Chorus]
Cuz If tomorrow never comes
and you don't see my face again (see my face again)
I don't want yo last memories of me
to be filled with negativity
see if tomorrow never comes
all that fussing and fighting
wont mean nothing when its said and done
if tomorrow never comes

I take it back, I take back every mean words that I ever said
out of anger (take it back), and every time I hurt her (take it back)
I take it back, I take back all the disagreements
all the hurt feelings, not believing in you (not believing in you)
tell me what can I do? But apologize to you
if tomorrow never comes
my apologies (my apologies)
for if tomorrow never comes (if tomorrow never comes)
I'll make sure that I'm the one who says how much I can't
I wish I was there
