I'm take my Lexus to the mall
Get a little black dress just because
Me and my boo just broke it off
I'm a stay fly although he's gone
I don't really care about who he's with
I'm get mine and he'll get his
Even though I was in love with him, I really hope the best for them

Very sentimental
And my cryings detrimental,
Tell me what I'm getting into,
I can't lose my mind.
I think its time for me to let go cause my heart can't take it no mo,
You were all I lived for but I leave you behind.

I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
I'll survive, I'll be fine, I won't cry, no way
I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
Don't you talk, I'll move on,
Baby walk away

All I gave to you, I'm so broke and blue
Make believe its cool I'm so over you.

I'm a keep my head up hold it high,
Really did my best God knows you try
Even though it hurts I will survive,
I'll wipe my eyes, I'll say it loud
Take a deep breath and count to 10,
Today's a new day I'll start again,
I'm a find myself so deep within,
I'm a survivor I'll wink

Very sentimental
And my cryings detrimental,
Tell me what I'm getting into,
I can't lose my mind.
I think its time for me to let go cause my heart can't take it no mo,
You were all I lived for but I leave you behind.
Â
I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
I'll survive, I'll be fine, I won't cry no way
I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
Don't you talk, I'll move on
Baby walk away
Â
I gotta rock the mic I'll be right back,
Gotta catch a flight, my Samsonite's packed,
Three months rapping all around the map,
Girl I see you on the internet on Ichat,
Cyberspace is the place to see my lady,
Baby we can instant message on the daily
Half way you could met me out in Asia
Cause ninety days without seeing you is crazy.
We got three days banging up in Shang Hi
Last day I see the water hanging in yo eye
I know my mama told me not to make a lady cry
But that's impossible when all I gotta say is bye
But I'm a, I'm a

I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
I'll survive, I'll be fine, I won't cry no way
I'm a be OK,
I'm a be OK,
Don't you talk, I'll move on baby walk away

All I gave to you, I'm so broke and blue
Make believe its cool I'm so over you.
I'm so broke and blue
Make believe its cool I'm so over you.
