U R The One - Album Version (Edited)

Lyrics

You are the one
 You are the one
 Other brothers just don't know
 You got to feel me on this one man
 So real
 I'm so sin-serious about it, you know?
 I know, I know more than a few is gonna relate
 So much more than a few (fa-really real)
 So much more (on the really real!)
 When it started I knew it was trouble
 But you know me
 Them "hard an' e'rythings" can't hold me
 I need some shit straight out the movies -DRAMA!
 Warm to the touch, hot mama
 You put me all in like launch jeans and scama
 You was Mrs. Mine
 So fine
 Went from "we gonna conquer it all"
 To "nigga I'ma see you in court"
 I woulda never thought (damn)
 I guess I better think again (you know?)
 OK, now the shit is really sinking in
 We ain't just divorced
 We ain't even fucking friends
 Cause in the end it was all about the ends
 But fuck that I know it gotta be more to it
 Held up with bitter hate with crosses all through it
 And when I looked, what did I see?
 You on the other end crying like me
 Expression on your face like, "how could this be?"
 That's what I'm asking, "what the fuck happened?"
 How could all the magic and passion just vanish (c'mon)
 Went from outsanding, to makin' me shout, "Dammit!"
 Can't explain the changes, behavior's is outlandish
 Now I'm just stuck in the road feeling stranded
 I'm in the dark wishing for the answers
 On some ol' "Biggie gimme one more chance" shit
 When we met your face so brown
 Ya ass so round, of course I'm so down
 Wish I knew then what the fuck I know now
 Couldn't read the signs in the road: "SLOW DOWN!"
 I'm too deep in the road now
 Got me pulling over getting smoked out
 Fighting tears that I can't hold down
 Can't believe it, this fucka' got me weeping
 I keep it a secret so my friends won't peep it (live man?)
 But late in the evening I'm up, my chest heaving
 I'm reaching in the dark and I'm looking for the reason (WHY!)
 Did our love have to die?
 You and I were so fucking fly
 Can't get it off my mind
 The things that made me smile now make me cry
 You are the one
 FUCK YOU!
 I wish we never met, I wish we never kissed
 I wish we never touched (I swear to God)
 I wish I didn't love you so much
 I wish I could forget how feel, how you f-
 (Damn) That's a lie
 The shit that made me smile, now make me cry
 You are the one
 You're the one!
 FUCK YOU!
 Sometime I wish we'd come back
 Man, I wish we'd come back
 No lie
 For real
 Fuck that
 No, for real
 It's a dangerous necessity, it's a world famous mystery
 Love
 That's it
 Peace.
