[Verse 1:] I'm... sippin here reminiscing Until this time I never thought about how much I missed it But not the phony niggas, or the groupie bitches No not the autographs kissing ass and taking pictures I made a bottom line, not just a surface of it The reason why I rhyme, I mean the purpose of it You were my everything, the reason why I breathe I would have never thought, one day you up and leave See I cannot believe how much you mean to me Cause back in 87 you were just a dream to me See I would listen to you, write and quote your lines See I would think about you, but never spoke my mind See how these niggas treat you, they talking different to you They wanna single deal, but no commitment to you But I ain't sticking with'chu, until I ride away Hip hop's my favorite girl, the one that got away
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2:] I heard you got a gangsta, something I can't explain He know he fuckin with you, but he ain't try'na claim He say he not a rapper, just out here spittin game And he don't care about you, just want his piece of change Well I guess he changed, don't know what happen to ya See all that shit he slang, it never matter to ya I mean you have your fun, so I can never hate it But we were never done, just maybe separated I guess I thought we made it, and started trickin' on you And I got less creative and started shittin' on you That's when I got complacent, I mean depression hit I wasn't running from you just had to question it See I'm a sucka for you, that's why they talk about me But like I give a fuck about the shit they blog about me I mean you save my life, that's why I write towards it The bond I know we have, that's why I'm fighting for it
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3:] So now I'm more reclusive, and less exclusive And fuck the moderation I became much more abusive I mean I left the crib, I wasn't with my kids But a life without you isn't what I wanna live Ain't no controlling this, I put my hole in this I mean I gave it all I put my heart and soul to this See we were meant to be, why would you leave me now? Me and my microphone, I swear I see it now I got my life in order, so I'm back on my mission My music is my drug, so I feed my addiction You are the piece that's missing; I swear you must believe me I'm finished business baby, I need you to complete The critics say we over, and I should leave em be They just don't understand that I am what'chu need We'll make em all believers, cause they were meant to see My soul made from the start, hip hop will meant to be
