Something In The Past

I haven't seen you in this while since you sparked the flame
We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
Then I realize, it was something in the pastYo you look good, how you been?
How's my little man, how's he doing?
And umm, did you get the package that I sent?
I hope that he knows that there's someone who loves him
But I'm gettin' vexed at you and I
I can't front baby, yeah you still look fly
And as I try, to get my words together
There's a lot of nice times that I start to rememberThe good shit always outweighed the bad
I never wanted to make you sad
So think of me as one man
Who has crazy respect for you, as a woman
Although the plans didn't work out
It doesn't mean I won't look out
For you and yours, I wish you the best
Because it's over I guessI haven't seen you in a while but you sparked the flame
We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
Then I realize, it's something in the pastNow I'm livin' the life, of a true mack
Devoted to my music, tryin' hard not to look back
But on occasion I can see your face
The memories, they got me driftin' a little taste
But now you're doin' your thing, I'm takin' care of mine
And so we're movin' on, leavin' the past behind
I guess relationships they ain't for me
That's why I had to set you freeI haven't seen you in a while but you sparked the flame
We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
Then I realize, it's something in the pastHaven't seen you in a while but you sparked the flame
We had the joys and pain, sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
Then I realize, it's something in the pastMy personality is magnanimous
That's why the ladies always cause a fuss
It's in the past what we had
Aiy yo respect to your moms and peace to your dad
I'm glad, that we've been through this
Because you know what? I've noticed
A lot about myself, see I wanna gain wealth
They say, that chasin' women is bad for your healthHaven't seen you in a while since you sparked the flame
We have the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
Then I realize, it's something in the pastHaven't seen you in a while since you sparked the flame
We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
Then I realize, it's something in the pastSomethin' in the past
Somethin' in the past
These moments never last
Somethin' in the past
Dedicated to all the ex girls
You know I'm on with the next girl
Peace
