I’ve been through enough shit And I normally don’t speak on it, But now it’s time for me to tell my story and you gon listen Oh lord, Started off deep in love, I was lost til I found out who you really were Now I know that no picture is perfect But I don’t think that it can get much worser than you’re when you’re bad When you’re drunk and you’re mad Talkin all out yo neck Thinkin I’m gon forget But I ain’t bitter or mad Cuz I let all that shit go Mama ain’t raise no fool You can let the next nigga know You can’t break me, cause you didn’t make me Cuz I can do bad by myself (I don’t need you) Bad by myself (said I’m leavin) Bad by myself Bad by myself Cut this fire
Now I can cry and be bitter I’m not into wasting my time Oh I know I’m a real, real, real good woman so I bet a man won’t be hard to find Believe me, I don’t even think you need me After shows you be chasing after all the hoes instead of trying to see me But that’s in the past cause I let all that shit go Mama ain’t raise no fool You can let the next nigga know You can’t break me, cause you didn’t make me Cause I can do bad by myself (I don’t need you) Bad by myself (said I’m leavin) Bad by myself Bad by myself I sure hate you in this way but after all the pain boy there is no other out there for me I was happy before you came along, I’ll be fine when you’re gone Still it hurts because I thought you were the one
[Tyrese:] Now I ain’t surprised that you would take shit this far Thank God I know exactly who you are Am I flawless?…No Did I do it?…Yes Now that don’t erase my mistakes but I’m man enough to admit Oh, I See we got kids and a house, we’re a family I know I ain’t perfect, but we’re worth it Baby understand me Cause those that pray together gonna stay together So let’s forget the past and make our future better Baby, I wouldn’t make it if you leave me Cause I would do bad by myself (Baby I forgive you) Cause I don’t want no one else (I’m not leaving you) Tried to leave me and I almost went crazy Oooh, I’mma step outside and take me a smoke break Woman I’m not gon let you drive me crazy Woah I, no naw Sometimes a man makes mistakes Oh, oh, oh I Now when I get back have my tacos ready You crazy mutherfucker Tired of this shit You know goddam well I’m not going nowhere Said I’m trying my best oohhh, ooooh
