[No lyrics]

[Rodney Jerkins:]
You know what this is already, man
It's something quite phenomenal, man
Your boy, Darkchild, Def Jam, DTP, Let's Go

[Chorus:]
I just can't cry no more 'cause I'm over you
And I can't keep thinking about you
Too many things in my mind beside you
I seen things deeper than you, and
I just can't cry no more 'cause I'm over you
Over all the times you play me
Over all the stress and mess I don't need
Over all the stuff that hurt me and
I just can't cry no more

[Verse 1:]
Now there you go just buggin out
That's why I'm so through with you
Can't be playing games with you
Because the craziness come with you
And I just hate it
You'll never stop to think about all hardship I done seen
People shot in front of me
And I thought you change everything
But you playing the same, and I

[Chorus:]
I just can't cry no more 'cause I'm over you
And I can't keep thinking about you
Too many things in my mind beside you
I seen things deeper than you, and
I just can't cry no more 'cause I'm over you
Over all the time you play me
Over all the stress and mess I don't need
Over all the stuff that hurt me, and
I just can't cry no more cause I'm
over you you you you [3x]
Just can't cry no more

[Verse 2:]
Now everytime I think about all things you put me through
What was I suppose to do
I was in love with you
And I was falling
And you know what you was doing to me
When them broads would run their mouth
How you have them up in my house
you don't deserve me, shut your mouth
Save the talk, I'm out, And I

[Chorus:]
I just can't cry no more 'cause I'm over you (Cry no more)
And I can't keep thinking about you (I'm so over you)
Too many thing in my mind beside you (Mind beside you, yea)
I seen things deeper than you, and
I just can't cry no more 'cause I'm over you (Just can't cry no more)
Over all the time you play me (Play me)
Over all the stress and mess I don't need (Don't need)
Over all that stuff that hurt me

[Bridge:]
(And I could never be) I could never be sucker woman who scorn.
I've been fighting heavy since the day I was born
(Baby I'm a rider) 'Cause baby I'm a rider
I'm a soul survivor
(Oh Yeaaa) I could never be sucker woman who scorn
I've been fighting heavy since the day I was born
('Cause baby girl's a rider) 'Cause baby girl's a rider
(And I'm a soul survivor) I'm a soul survivor

[Chorus:]
I just can't cry no more 'cause I'm over you (I just can't cry no more, nigga
I'm over you)
And I can't keep thinking about you (See I hardly think about you)
Too many things in my mind beside you
I seen things deeper than you (I seen things deeper than you)
And I just can't cry no more 'cause I'm over you (I'm not gonna cry no more)
Over all the time you play me ('Cause I'm walking out that door)
Over all the stress and mess I don't need ('Cause I can't keep crying)
Over all that stuff that hurt me and (It feels like I'm dying)
I just can't cry no more cause I'm
over you you you you (I can't see it coming down my eyes)
over you you you you (so I gotta make the song cry)
over you you you you (No more sleepless night over you, baby)
Just can't cry no more cause I'm

[Outro:]
Over you you you you [x3]
Just can't cry no more 'cause I'm
Over you you you you [x3]

So what, what do I do now, do what without you now? [x2]

U told me that we would always be togetha
Said we'd make it through da stormy weather
But ya locked up now
U told me don't wait on da floor foreva
Said I gotta look fo something betta
Cuz ya locked up now (Got anotha story to tell)

I shoulda known, from da corner of da block that you were wrong
One day soon you'd be leavin me alone, but I gave you da digits anyway
Ooh I had my doubts, but you know how I like em thugged out
Thought for sure I could change a thugs route
But a mans gonna be what a man wants to be no matter what ya say sometimes

You gave me fancy cars, diamonds and pearls
But without ya here what is it worth?
Not a damn thing
Sometimes I cry in da rain for you
Ya wishin things could be da way they were
Cuz all da joy of love turned into hurt
And I cant take da pain
These pictures on da wall wont do

Gangsta U told me that we would always be togetha
Said we'd make it through da stormy weather
But ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my baby
U told me don't wait on da floor foreva
Said I gotta look fo something betta
Cuz ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my gangsta

I undastand that in da game sometimes you lose ya man
But 25 to life wasn't in da plan, how do I pick up da pieces?
I keep fallin to pieces, everytime that I see you caged up
I kept prayin everyday you'd wake up
But all da money somehow wasn't enough
I guess you had ya own reasons
Now its only teasin you around

You gave me fancy cars, diamonds and pearls (You gave me)
But without ya here what is it worth?
Not a damn thing
Sometimes I cry in da rain for you
Ya wishin things could be da way they were (Hey hey)
Cuz all da joy of love turned into hurt
And I cant take da pain
These pictures on da wall wont do

Gangsta U told me that we would always be togetha (Hey hey yeah)
Said we'd make it through da stormy weather (U told me)
But ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my baby
U told me don't wait on da floor foreva
Said I gotta look fo something betta
Cuz ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my gangsta

??
As long as I knew you'd come home
A simple 9 to 5 and some quality time (instead of catchin up on da jail phone)
I tried to let go cuz ya tellin me so
But I don't wanna move on
I'm down fo mine but im tired of cryin
I gotta face the fact that you're gone.

U told me that we would always be togetha
Said we'd make it through da stormy weather
But ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my baby
U told me don't wait on da floor foreva
Said I gotta look fo something betta
Cuz ya locked up now
Don't it break yo heart to be without yo gangsta

So what, what do I do now, do what without you now? [x4]

15 bank accounts, 10 different businesses
5 different lawyers, tell 'em what the business is
I live down the block, was raised up the street
Want beef? I'll do like summertime and raise up the heat
I'm the leader of the pack, plus I'm still in the slums
Man I was built Ford tough, I'm as real as they come
But fake thugs love to hate, some punks be ice grillin' me
Cuz I g-g-got assets, no liabilities
Now to infinity, grown women be feelin' me
And they ain't got nothin' to lose but they virginity
Still the Lova Lova, so give me a couple rubbers
I'll get 'em in a room, and Luda will make 'em studder like..

[No lyrics]

Yeah yeah yeah...yeah yeah... [x2]
Lemme talk to yall fo a minute

I woke up this mornin, tried to get myself together
Gotta face anotha day, people laugh, smile in my face
Have to keep it movin, roll my spliff and sip my henny
Gotta clear my mind, time is precious, gotta stay on da grind

No one said that this life would be easy
So sick and tired of bein tired please believe me
No one said everyday I'd have to hustle
Everyday in my life seems like a struggle

On my way to the doctor, boy today is not my day
Got some mornin sickness, and my period is late
Am I hallucinatin, cuz things aint went my way since
Back in da day, nobody said, that my life would be easy

No one said that this life would be easy
So sick and tired of bein tired please believe me
No one said, everyday I'd have to hustle
Everyday in my life seems like a struggle

In the end, I will always come out fighting
Keep it real, keep it movin, keep on grinding
You can't lose if you stay true, that I promise
Cuz no one said, no one said...hey..

No one said that this life would be easy
So sick and tired of bein tired please believe me
No one said everyday I'd have to hustle
Everyday in my life seems like a struggle [x2]

It replays in my mind, so many times
When I try to move on, it just rewinds
I'm scarred for life, a casualty of love
Captivated me, like a prisoner
What was I thinkin of, I gotta free my mind
Now its my time, now im a butterfly

I gotta spread my wings and fly, get away from all ya lies
Ya know I tried, but you're the kind that cant be satisfied
Misery loves company, I was sleepin wit da enemy
I made a change and spread my wings just like a butterfly
Fly away butterfly, fly away butterfly

So many times, I coulda walked away
But love is so blind, I was so afraid
At times you had me speechless, you made me feel so loved
At first you were an angel, but then you turned so cold

I gotta spread my wings and fly, get away from all ya lies
Ya know I tried, but you're the kind that cant be satisfied
Misery loves company, I was sleepin wit da enemy
I made a change and spread my wings just like a butterfly
Fly away butterfly, fly away butterfly

I made my decision, don't need your permission
I gotta start livin, you took away everything

I gotta spread my wings and fly, get away from all ya lies
Ya know I tried, but you're the kind that cant be satisfied
Misery loves company, I was sleepin wit da enemy
I made a change and spread my wings just like a butterfly [x2]

Ooh, damn Rich I'm feeling this. This some old 96 New York shit right here.

[verse 1:]
I love waking up this morning smelling like you. I sniffed the sheets and the pillows a little while, hopped out of bed with a pep and a big smile. Took my shower, got dressed and sprayed my perfume. Then I got in the car pushed the radio dial soon as I heard this song I turned up the volume. I thought about when I met you I never thought we'd be together or you would have me open like you do. Cuz last night we made sweet good love baby.

[Chorus:]
I thought I knew (thought I knew) but I really ain't know (I really ain't know)
How deep and strong (ooooh)
Your love could go (your love could go)
Slow and long (so slow)
You made the fire burn (my fire burn)
I guess it's true (uhm uhm)
You never too old to learn (How good love feels)

Uh, just let it breathe right here

[verse 2:]
I'm always talkin and tellin my people bout you (you you)
Cuz how you got me trippin I feel like a kid again your lips taste like chocolate and cinnamon. I love your style cuz you keep it hood and stay true (you stay true)
Uh, you be in them streets but you know when to come home so I'll be waiting with one of your shirts on. Thinking bout when I met you I never thought we'd be together (it's crazy)
Or you would have me open like you do (hey, cuz last night we made some good love baby)

[Chorus:]
I thought I knew (I thought I knew)
but I really ain't know (but I didn't know you)
How deep and strong (yeah)
Your love could go (you sure can go go go)
Slow and long (slow and long)
You made the fire burn (you made my fire burn boy)
I guess it's true (true)
You never too old to learn (How good love feels)

Whew, how many of yall know what I'm talking about out there. Well I tell you what turn your volume up and let me tell you what I'm talking about.

[Bridge:]

In every way I be needing your (good love baby, good love baby, yeah)
See everyday I need you (good love baby, driving me crazy)
In every way I need you (good love baby, good love baby)

[Chorus:]
Thought I knew but I really ain't know (really didn't know you)

Slow and long (slow and long)

Cant believe my ears, cant believe my eyes
Da whole friendship was a god damn lie

Now let da truth me told, ya had to hit da road
Neva thought you would try to play me out
No need to ask ya why, no need to ask ya how
That's not what a real friends about
You were supposed to be there, you were supposed to be down
Neva was around, when real shit went down
But I'll neva slip again, must have been trippin
All of dis time you neva was my friend, yea

All da shit ya put me through

[Shareefa Talkin]
Good evenin church, I'd like to welcome yall to the new DTP community baptist
church. Today I'll be
Speakin from the good books of assumptions. Ya know, I ran into a good friend of
mine, Mr. Jeff Dixon,
And we got to talkin and carryin on , and he said "You kno Shareefa, ya kno a
guy came up to me the otha
Day, and told me to watch out fa you" And I said, "Why is that Jeff?" He said,
"You know, he said you was
A little bit crazy, you was a little troubled" And you know what I told him?

They don't know me well, they don't know me

See the problem with some people
They neva stop to think about my situation
Always quick to make some assumptions
Us females tend to deal wit emotions
Is it the fact that I can be game?
And I can peep a snake from a mile away
You should neva judge a book by its cover
This cant go on no further

Oooh, ya think ya know me, wait a minute
Baby hold up, you don't know me
So sick and tired of people judgin me
Oooh, ya think ya know me, wait a minute
Baby hold up, you don't know me
So sick and tired of people judgin me

Now it seems strange, most of da time
When people have no one to blame they mention my name
Tryna drag it down through the dirt, for what its worth
Forget to mention how I put in work
Up under pressure I was so damn hurt
You should think before you speak
Know whats goin on before you talk about me

Oooh, ya think ya know me, wait a minute
Baby hold up, you don't know me
So sick and tired of people judgin me
Oooh, ya think ya know me, wait a minute
Baby hold up, you don't know me
So sick and tired of people judgin me

Know that I heard that she's fine
People say she be wilin out
Nowadays when I'm up in da hood
In da barbershop they talkin like
"She's no good"
??

Oooh, ya think ya know me, wait a minute
Baby hold up, you don't know me
So sick and tired of people judgin me
Oooh, ya think ya know me, wait a minute
Baby hold up, you don't know me
So sick and tired of people judgin me [x2]

If I had no man, then where would we be
This creepin and cheatin is gettin to me
Temptation is killin me, we're gettin too deep
Sometimes I wonder, my life couldn't be
If I had no man, then where would we be
This creepin and cheatin is gettin to me
Temptation is killin me, we're gettin too deep

Now its time for me and you to call it quits
Hate to say, I'm so ashamed this has to end
Cant describe what I feel, this cant be real
My man cant do me like you do
Now its time for me and you to call it quits
Hate to say, I'm so ashamed this has to end
Cant describe what I feel, this cant be real
But sometimes I wonder

Sometimes I wonder, my life couldn't be
If I had no man, then where would we be
This creepin and cheatin is gettin to me
Temptation is killin me, we're gettin too deep
Sometimes I wonder, my life couldn't be
If I had no man, then where would we be
This creepin and cheatin is gettin to me
Temptation is killin me, we're gettin too deep

He don't know that I'm checkin' you
I'm so nervous, you got me open (Checkin' you)
He don't know I'm checkin you
He don't know (Checkin' you)
