Would´ve came back for you, I just needed time
To do what I had to do, caught in the life
I can´t let it go
Whether that´s right, I will never know, oh-oh-oh

Hope you forgive me, never meant wrong
Tried to be patient but waited too long
But I would´ve came back, but I would´ve came back for you
Would´ve came back, would´ve came back

I talk slicker than a pimp from Augusta
Who just had his linen suit dry-cleaned
Bitches, what´s up with ya?
I hate calling the women "bitches," but the bitches love it
I took some sense and made a nickel of it
I´m urging all daughters to kiss their mothers
With those lips that all that lipstick covers
You´re never too grown up to miss and hug her
And girls counting on me to be there like missing rubbers
I´m on some Marvin Gaye shit, a bunch of distant lovers

This ain´t the life that I´m used to
Reintroduced to people I´ve been introduced to
Did you forget me?
Or are you too scared to tell me that you met me
And fear that I won´t remember?
I wish you could still accept me for me
I miss Memphis, Tennessee, my cousins, my dad
The simplistic beauty that all of them Southerners have
I´m halfway across the world with dozens of bags
Feeling like all four members of Color Me Badd
In one nigga, amazing shit
I got that Courtney Love for you, that crazy shit
I don´t drink every bottle I own, I be aging shit
And I got them wedding ring flows, that engaging shit
Which one of y´all got fleets on your keychains?
The seats for these Heat games?

I really think that you stare at yourself and you see things
La Familia, I´ve been inducted and instructed
To stunt on these niggas we don´t really fuck with, fuck is up?
Having lunch and debating Ferrari prices
23 and going through a midlife crisis
But trust me, I still deliver like a midwife
And no, I´m not saying I´m the nicest, I just live life like it
Uh, it take a certain type of man to teach
To be far from hood, but to understand the streets
I never threw away that paper with my Grammy speech
Because I haven´t hit the pinnacles I plan to reach
Yeah, you gotta own it if you want it

Kisses all on her body, she tells me live in the moment
And, baby, I´ll never forget none of that
Girl, I told you I was coming back, I

Would´ve came back for you, I just needed time
To do what I had to do, caught in the life
I can´t let it go
Whether that´s right, I will never know

Hope you forgive me, never meant wrong
Tried to be patient but waited too long
But I would´ve came back, but I would´ve came back for you
Would´ve came back, would´ve came back
