Joe Budden - I Want You Back lyrics

Let's go back to nine seven, seventeen though I looked like 20 And I was poor, I didn't look like money Then I saw someone I thought who was mature, looked like she would shun me And inside its like my pride had been took right from me She loves to dance, dancin in the middle of the floor So I thought I better get to her before Other guys start to notice she was fly, had a brother goin wild Tryna leave the club with the future mother of my child (man) I can't believe it Nice a** and cleavage She's 23, she's somebody I can see ME wit 2 weeks pa**, now I'm gettin wit her 3 weeks pa**, I'm livin wit her 5 weeks pa**, now I'm in love I'm so glad that I met her She's dedicating love songs Brandy "Have You Ever" Have you ever had it bad but just a fad It wouldn't last forever but still just LIKE [Hook] Moms don't like her, but she adores me Struggling artist, no job, she supports me So alone, my only friend is boo So when its me against the world, the world gotta be against her too In a year we was homeless, stuck on the street together Starvin, nothin to eat together Times get hard, the fightin and the bickering starts And now she's throwin in my face about how I can't get a job Now she pregnant, another mouth to feed, add that on Nah the condom ain't break, I ain't had that on Tryna be a man, I went and got a job at 'the wiz' Chill Angie, I ain't got the right job for a kid Can't keep it, now she heated but we don't live lavish It's a good thing you had that miscarriage Cause I'm against k**in kids but I'da did it I was wit it, she's spoiled it, I'm 19 lookin at my bloody son in the toilet (damn) We beefin, she likes to bring up old things And anytime we beef, she likes to throw things But that knife, I couldn't dodge it But my love was too strong so after surgery I dropped them charges She said I beat her bad, I took her by her feet and dragged To this day I don't believe that fact Can't see her bein heated and desertin me freely I know you hurtin, it ain't workin I know you wanna leave me BUT [Hook] After all the court cases, blame is in order She's scared of me, hence the restraining order Had to break up but we made up, family mad at us too Lets have a baby and then maybe they'll be havin a truce She actin rude, havin her moods Screamin "I'm pregnant", like that's an excuse Angie I ain't tryna hear you now I had to bounce, I can't be there for you but I'll be there for the child TRE! they had to cut mommy phoned me to clutch you She was drugged up still screamin "Joey I love you" Months pa**ed, here come the cops again She threw my clothes up out the window And I end up in the building on the cot again Naw not again I see that she's my baby mother but she's not my friend That was the last straw, it was apparent We ain't workin as a couple but lets see if we can work as parents TRE! you know that mommy used to use you against me But she got a little better, she don't use you to tempt me See me on TV now things got better She's says I'm not the same man that I was when I met her She don't like Joe Budden, leave that for the public She want the same guy that she fell in love wit If she could ever turn it back to like the past That's all she ask when she prayin If I came at her like "I'm back" I know that all she'll be sayin is.. [Hook]
