Just Because

[Chorus: ] You used to be my man, we used to be in love Since we parted ways things is gettin' rough Just because I got a kid by you Don't give you no reasons to act like a fool Yo, you used to be my girl, but that was in the past It's a shame that that shit didn't last And just because we got a kid together Don't give you no reasons to change like the weather Sometimes I reminisce on how it was before we dropped a seed I was your everything and you was all I need Stopped payin' attention cause I gained a little weight Pokin' all these hookers, layin' up from state to state My stress level's risin' to the highest, you begged me To have your baby, now you're tryin' to play me And so I choose to move away from this drama No longer in love, now you just my baby's father What's up, you needs to shush up and hush up Everything you hear you believe You're loud plus you Rifkin more than Steve When I come through you make me leave If I roll up on you like a sleeve Don't get it twisted like braids or weaves No welly, I'm off to the bank telly Plus actin' foul when my seed was in yo belly You ain't the eight one on the section The problem is we ain't together but we still keep sexin' You tryin' to keep the upper hand just because we got a kid Don't give you the right to try to monitor the way I live Where I go and who I date ain't no business of yours No need for you to player-hate, you still get the drawers The love used to be there, I don't know where the shit went We was young and wasn't ready for commitment Young ways at a young age Two teenagers with a young seed to raise [Chorus: ] See you been on fire since the baby, flamin' up Started changin' up with the rah-rah callin' my peeps and hangin' up Speakin' in a different tone now On that young shit, even though we grown now You on your own, but ain't raisin her alone We can't even hold a decent conversation on the phone Yeah, we lay down like SMPTE You want me to hit you so you tempt me Turnin' red like Simply Don't take it out on my seed cause you resent me It's unfulfilling, so in other words we empty You talk about things you prepared to do I was there when your fam wasn't there for you And yo, I'm pointin' fingers, like triggers Your sisters is a bunch of goldiggers With they kids around a million different niggas Fake tears you cried and wept Baby, walk the same path and follow in they footsteps You try to say them hurtful things and threaten me with fear But I cried my last cry and shed my last tear I did my best to keep you out of court for child support But you don't do your job, it's like I'm married to the mob Your friends be on some spy shit, I'm on some do-or-die shit Survive it, I got to, I can't depend on you Watchin' her on weekends, thinkin' you the shit Callin' it a favor when you babysit You'se a part-time daddy with some part-time love And I ain't stoopin' to your level, I gots to rise above Appreciate I demonstrate, my ways could be much meaner You be a clown and fuck around, I'm servin' you subpeonas [Chorus: Repeat 2X]
