[Intro]
Ay.....Southside......baaabyyy.....Ay......
[Verse: 2Ru3]
Walking outside, watching the trees sway
Thinkin' deep in my mind back in elementary days
Even middle school
When I was that one known to bring more laughter
But it seemed to me all the people just wanted to bring a challenge
Whether it was through banter
Whether it was through physical means, or mental means
Spitting a joke try to be demeaning me
And my intelligence, I ain't gone lie
There was times when I was just letting it down, dumbing it down
Know what I'm saying, just to fit in, just to be cool
But still within it pimpin' I was still he who be deemed true
If you did something wrong to me or to another
I was that one known to let you know on the way stayin' that I love ya
Not in a way like I'm trying to condemn ya or hurt ya
Or do you dirty, having you feeling as if on the earth that
That You having no purpose, cause you do and so do I
And I was that one always known to be by your side
If you ever felt like that nobody loved you, nobody cared
Who could you always call on, who was always there
Nobody but me, that dude named 2Ru3
Who kept it straight true, and who spray nothing but truth to you
But for whatever reason you felt it nece-ssary
To be
Treating me in the way as if you really wanted to be carry-
Ing me in my casket, in a spiritual fashion
Having me feeling as if in life, love and peace I was actually lackin'
And I ain't gone lie there was a time deep in my mind
I felt as if every corner I turned somebody was trying
To be pointing me up in the scope, letting loose bullets
I don't mean physically, but ,spiritually truly
And I ain't gone lie, also in my physical mind, I felt that
Sometimes my heart was cold where no love could melt that
I was, sometimes always contemplatin'
Why did it seem always I was just gaining more hatred
No matter how many times I was trying to just gain love
Through the ways of what I was always known to be, what, straight love
Showing nothing but peace, showing nothing but honesty
And integrity, and dignity, and still for some reason I be
He who be sufferin', he who be struggling
Trying to find the epitome of what it mean to be having that one
Who known to be loving ya, trusting ya, and confiding in ya
Ain't gotta worry bout them trying to be doing you dirty
On the low
When you home alone
You on ya job pimpin, countin' gwap pimpin'
Not having to worry about whether on not really, she be
Creeping on the low, with another
Having to wonder, what she mean by certain stuff bruh
She say outta the mind, when she be smiling and laughing
And you be thinking in your mind, is she serious or playing actually
I don't understand, I don't really know, but I know this
Even before we became in this relationship for sure it
Was nothing but a friendship that we had, and everything that you was going through
All the troubles and issues, and all the different men you went through
All the different, instances, that you did get into
Who was that n***a that was known to keep it real with ya, confide ya, help ya
Try to help ya, simply what, help ya self girl (guul)
But hey, you know, how it go
You don't know what you got until it's gone......
You don't know what you got until it's gone.......
Man...
You don't know, what you got, 'til it's gone......
Ay
