The Letter

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
All the broken hearts and the unpaid dues
What you did to me. What I did to you.
I ain't mad at you, pooh. So what we gonna do?
I just seen you out with your new mans, lookin' kinda happy.
Feelin' like somebody just slapped me.
My gut's in a knot. My temp's getting' hot.
I want to make that man bleed and wear this speed knot
'Cause he ain't got what we had, and it makes me kinda mad.
I hurt my one true love, just like my dad.
And it's kinda sad, 'cause now my shit's together.
No need for umbrellas, I can see the stormy weather.
I'm goin' outside into the rain.
And I keep sweatin' cause I can't house this pain
We was workin' for years, now I'm jerkin' these tears.
From my lips to God's ears, girl, I did you wrong
So I'm makin' this song to let you know how I feel
Before keepin' it real may keep my heart concealed
And now I'm on the side, just patiently waitin'
Watchin' on you and the time for updatin'.
I can't hide from the truth. I know the pudding's in the proof.
So I stand convicted, like all your friends predicted.
But I think you'd be surprised knowin' how this ends, brothers.
We went from lovers to friends, we'll go from friends to lovers.
So if that man make you smile, I guess that I'll just accept it
And respect it.
I'll hit you with this song and let you think about it,
And then I'll just leave you alone and be a man about it.
