Here's what you want right[00:00:10]

Here's what you need right[00:00:13]

We got to give you more[00:00:16]

Of what you're lookin' for[00:00:18]

So it's a secret that's been pent up inside for years[00:00:20]

Exclusive type[00:00:23]

Only for your eyes and ears[00:00:24]

You held it in for so long you bursted into tears[00:00:25]

The letters spilled slowly across the page like a world premiere[00:00:28]

Well I ain't[00:00:31]

The b******t begins here[00:00:32]

The obvious cause[00:00:34]

The effects is unclear[00:00:35]

The punishment for crimes of the heart could be severe[00:00:36]

Though to keep it on the low is a heavy cross to bear[00:00:39]

You deep now[00:00:41]

Submerged with no signs of air[00:00:42]

Still your sunken heart thumpin' like the kick in a snare[00:00:44]

While on the surface it's all turnin' to a circus[00:00:47]

That's why you're nervous[00:00:49]

And you got a right to be[00:00:50]

Cause if somebody woulda done that s**t to me[00:00:52]

I mean my best man hittin' my wife to be[00:00:54]

My sentiments exactly would be history[00:00:57]

Why'know what I'm sayin my peoples in the place let's hit it off one two[00:01:00]

Yo[00:01:09]

It's like nothin' changed[00:01:11]

It's all the same thang[00:01:17]

The same characters in a book[00:01:19]

With different names[00:01:25]

It's a lot more to lose than you got to gain[00:01:28]

You a lot more confused than hip to the game[00:01:32]

The peep the script of the game the price is pain[00:01:34]

Men and women get into things[00:01:37]

Now who's to blame[00:01:38]

When everybody whisperi'n bout whatever took place[00:01:39]

And how the fact twist a knot with a straight face[00:01:42]

And lies[00:01:45]

Hard to swallow from the bitter taste[00:01:45]

Well that's a point in the past that can't be erased[00:01:47]

So motivate[00:01:50]

Though it's hard to let it ride[00:01:51]

Or set aside true feelings[00:01:52]

Underhand dealings[00:01:54]

Our lost trust[00:01:55]

I wonder if we lost us[00:01:56]

It's bigger than me and you[00:01:58]

It's monstrous[00:01:59]

So I'ma[00:02:00]

Just calm down and try to relax[00:02:01]

Before I clap[00:02:04]

If you could only flash back and undo our actions[00:02:06]

Change what happens[00:02:16]

Dissect the fractions[00:02:21]

A time to rewind and be recorded absent[00:02:24]

For real cause these memories is photographic[00:02:33]

Pornographic[00:02:37]

Pushing me close to madness[00:02:38]

Head heavy like I'm trippin' on tablets[00:02:40]

Yesterday as I recall was all fabulous I thought so[00:02:43]

But now it feel like shots hittin' my torso[00:02:46]

Spent a lotta time and trust in the wrong place[00:02:52]

Fought a lotta fights rollin' with the wrong ace[00:02:59]

Love[00:03:04]

Stronger than pride[00:03:04]

We could end disgrace[00:03:07]

I need[00:03:11]

Room the think[00:03:13]

And space to ventilate[00:03:15]

Was solid as a rock[00:03:19]

Shall not disintegrate[00:03:22]

Thoughts racing like the lunatics on the interstate[00:03:28]

For real[00:03:38]

Ya[00:03:40]

It's ill[00:03:41]

Ya[00:03:46]

My peoples in the place[00:03:48]
