Lyrics:

Oh yes (Ah, this for you girl)

Yo, I took you from the projects, put the best clothes in ya closet
Like Ginger from 'Casino' and now you a pro
We was like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe
All ya jealous girlfriends hatin' waitin'

So I put the cars in yo hand
All I know is Nas was yo man
It was so real, boats and sixes
Special Japanese chefs makin' home cooked dishes

Plenty trips, invisible sets
You know what you missin'

It's funny 'cause for a while
Walked around with a smile
But deep inside I could hear
Voices telling me this ain't right

Don't you know it's not for you
I always knew what I had to do
But it's hard to get away
'Cause I love you I just tried to say

I used to say I couldn't do it but I did it (Yes, I did)
Telling everybody that I wasn't with it (Oh yeah)
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright (Gonna be alright)

I said I couldn't do it but I did it (Yes, I did)
Telling everybody that I wasn't with it (Oh yeah)
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright (Gonna be alright)

Friends of mine say to me
Say you got control over me
You're not alone, I played my part
I saw the way you were from the start

How could I expect so much from you?
You had a girl when I first met you
Did the best that you could do
Now I realize that I can't change you

I used to say I couldn't do it but I did it (Yes, I did)
Telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright (Gonna be alright)

I said I couldn't do it but I did it (Yes, I did)
Telling everybody that I wasn't with it (Oh yeah)
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright

Said I wouldn't walk away
Some days I want to stay (Days I want to stay)
But leaving you is what I need to do (Need to do)
To be OK (I need to be OK)

I never thought it would be true (Would be true)
Be leaving without you (Leaving without you) {Huh, this life is crazy}
So now it's time for me to make that move

Huh, check it
Yo, nobody understands me, I'm dealin' with pressure
My peoples is locked in a jail cell with no bail stressin' (Oh no)

Guess it's the life of a kingpin
Rap Stephen King, rock bling
Like neon lights, we gon' be alright (Be alright)

But it's like you feelin' lesser
Claim I'm actin' like a retard
Writin' me and my boys (Oh no)
We start fights, with will I'm in charge
You scream I'm in the streets all night
Or where was I at, ya found light brown hairs on my hat
I'm slow caught

I used to say I couldn't do it but I did it
Telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright

I used to say I couldn't do it but I did it
Telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright
