[Chorus]:
In the valley of my world
You'd be my only girl
In the valley of my world
You'd be my only girl
[Verse One]:
I know these sound like words
But what I'm really givin' is emotion
Most dudes would try to hold in but I'd rather just expose it
If you notice girl
n***as always try to keep they focus on not being the brokest
We used to be so close when we started
Our phone conversations used to go until the dial tone woke us
And then when I stroked it I was ready to put those princess cuts on your hand
All my girls was gettin' cut like Da Band
God damn I don't think you understand, we don't wanna be players
You think I need a different b**h everyday? I'm supposed to be savin'
My love for you, but my love for you got me hatin' myself
Cause selfish women throw themselves at my face
And then they throw they little waist in and I'm supposed to fight it
God couldn't help Ma$e so you know I get excited
You would cry if I told you all the wrong that I did
I wanted a key and you wanted a kid
But you my only girl
[Chorus]:
In the valley of my world
You'd be my only girl
In the valley of my world
You'd be my only girl
[Verse Two]:
You know it's crazy when your girl keeps askin' why you can't be there
And it's hard to say, "Baby I'm scared."
But it's real cause we afraid of commitment and bein' with one person
And then that one person turns around and just hurts you
And my stupid a** is waitin' for somebody perfect
On the other side the gra** be lookin' greener and I get nervous
Cause me and my girl was crazy straight
She was talkin' marriage but you know I had to make her wait
Cause she started gainin' weight
And shawty on the side had an a** just inexplicable
But our conversations were minimal
It was critical, I'm actin' like a different dude
The industry made me shallow as a kiddie pool
And now she doesn't want to stay and it's just the other day
She said she wished that she was gay so that she could run away
Just imagine a young, strung woman in tears and miserable
She in love with somebody but the love ain't reciprocal
Every time they be out together she be feelin' all miserable
They break up and then he calls her two days later, "I'm missin' you."
Like "Please girl come back to me."
She let me in, but when we slept she had her back to me
Aw man
[Chorus]:
In the valley of my world
You'd be my only girl
In the valley of my world
You'd be my only girl
[Verse Three]:
Three years, four months and eleven days in it
My family is her family I'm like, "f** it, forget it. She got me."
I'm thinkin' Jay got B, Nelly/Ashanti, Nas and Kelis so I gotta see
She jokin', I'mma leave her for an R&B singer
Until I put that little rock on her finger
It wasn't little but it wasn't giant like Kobe Bryant wife size
But I didn't get caught like him
I thought like him before
But now a n***a kinda got it right
Wedding plans, bridesmaid dresses, honeymoon flight
Then the day came, the church looked like The Best Man movie
Decorations, hundreds of guests
I spent three publishing checks
I'm at the alter with my wife to be
Lookin' lovely but I'm thinkin', "Yo, that ain't Alicia Keys
Please, she don't even sing."
I heard, "Dearly beloved we all gathered here today."
I said, "f** it, I'm speaking out."
I see the crowd, I backed up, I loosened up the black tux
Apologized to her mama said, "I'm sorry for the drama
But I know I'm not ready." So I ran to the door
I made it out before the tear hit the floor
[Chorus]:
In the valley of my world
You'd be my only girl
In the valley of my world
You'd be my only girl
