Phil Tan - Best Thing lyrics

[Produced By: Jermaine Dupri & Manuel Seal] [Intro: Jay Z] I mean... Ush, is this what it comes to man? This how we gon' do it? I mean, even gra** grow, baby, you know? Seeds become plants, boys become men What we gon' do? Let's lead the way [Verse 1: Jay Z] Wrapped around all girls like Pashminas What's my demeanor? The gra** is always greener On the other side, there's bigger lies, can't give a ring up I couldn't give a f**, how could I give a finger? Let alone half bath and closets So claustrophobic, in fear of close objects Now it's sort of like two-car garages It's like two broads menagin', you're the best, mama [Verse 2: Usher] Is there any chance that you remember me being more than just a horrible man? And would you consider pulling this trigger and taking a second shot at romance? I groomed the days when you were my girl And I was your man, though I took you for granted But it wasn't till now I see... [Pre-Chorus: Usher] How much I missed you Girl, I'm sorry that I ran the streets acting like a damn fool But for once, here goes the truth I can't be fake, I can't be phony Acting all hard, that's for homies that's lonely I try to flex, but I confess That when you left, you took the very best thing [Chorus: Usher] The best thing that ever happened to me You took the best thing The best thing that I ever seen You took the best thing The best thing that I ever had And now all I feel is stress 'Cause, baby, when you left, you took the very best [Verse 3: Usher] Remember Mimi or Vita? Remember Iesha or Eva? I ain't got them no more Hey, it's for Naomi and Jenny, the same outcome as Chilli, girl, I let them all go No more tricking and kissing miscellaneous chicks acting like a jerk Woman, I've been to church and I talked to the bishop And he wanted me to share this with you [Pre-Chorus: Usher] How much I missed you I'm so sorry that I ran the streets acting like a damn fool But for once, here goes the truth I can't be fake, I can't be phony Acting all hard, that's for homies that's lonely I try to flex, but I confess That when you left, you took the very best thing [Chorus: Usher] The best thing that ever happened to me You took the best thing The best thing that I ever seen You took the best thing The best thing that I ever had And now all I feel is stress 'Cause, baby, when you left, you took the very best [Verse 4: Jay Z] Momma try to told me, "Hovi Hov to slow it down You gon' lose your best thing if you keep getting 'round" Like Pac need a partner when you old to hold you down Ma, forever young, was forever numb Sorry, Staci, sorry, Dawn, Amil-lion and all of them All of them was for their time, it wasn't you, it was him School me once, school me twice, three times, I was dumb Now it's so plain to see to me I got the one You're the best, mama [Pre-Chorus: Usher] I can't be fake, I can't be phony Acting all hard, that's for homies that's lonely I try to flex, but I confess That when you left, you took the very best thing [Chorus: Usher] The best thing that ever happened to me You took the best thing The best thing that I ever seen You took the best thing The best thing that I ever had And now all I feel is stress 'Cause, baby, when you left, you took the very best
