Something In The Past

I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame

We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain

Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh

Then I realize it was something in the past

Yo, you look good; how you been?

How's my little man; how's he doing?

And, umm, did you get the package that I sent?

I hope that he knows that there's someone who loves him

But I'm gettin vexed at you and I

I can't front, baby; yeah, you still look fly

And as I try to get my words together

There's a lot of nice times that I start to remember

The good shit always outweighed the bad

I never wanted to make you sad

So think of me, as one man

Who has crazy respect for you, as a woman

Although the plans didn't work out

It doesn't mean I won't look out

For you and yours; I wish you the best

Because it's over, I guess

I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame

We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain

Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh

Then I realize it's something in the past

Now I'm livin' the life of a true mack

Devoted to my music, tryin' hard not to look back

But on occasion I can see your face

The memories, they got me driftin' a little taste

But now you're doin' your thing; I'm takin' care of mine

And so we're movin' on, leavin' the past behind

I guess relationships - they ain't for me

That's why I had to set you free

I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame

We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain

Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh

Then I realize.. it's something in the past

Haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame

We had the joys and pain, sunshine and rain

Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh

Then I realize it's something in the past

My personality is magnanimous

That's why the ladies always cause a fuss

It's in the past - what we had

Aiyyo, respect to your moms, and peace to your dad

I'm glad that we've been through this

Because you know what? I've noticed

A lot about myself; see, I want to gain wealth

They say that chasin' women is bad for your health

I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame

We have the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain

Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh

Then I realize it's something in the past

Haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame

We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain

Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh

Then I realize it's something in the past

Somethin' in the past

Somethin' in the past

These moments never last

Somethin' in the past

Dedicated to all the ex girls

You know I'm on with the next girl

Peace
