Best Thing (feat. JAY-Z)

I mean Ush, is this what it come to man?

This how we gon do it? I mean, even grass grow baby

You know? Seeds become plants, boys become men

What we gon do? Let's lead the way

Wrapped around all girls like Pashminas

What's my demeanor?

The grass is always greener on the other side

There's bigger lies, can't give a ring up

I couldnt 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

Is there any chance

That you remember me being any more than just a horrible man?

And would you consider pullin' this trigger

And taking a second shot at romance?

Oh, baby, I want the days when you were my girl

And I was your man

Know I took you for granted but it wasn't 'til now

I see how much I miss 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 tried to flex but I confess that when you left

You took the very best thing

The best thing that ever happened to me

You took my 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 when you left you took the very best

Remember Mimi or Vita, remember Isha or Eva (I ain't got 'em no more)

Hey, as for Naomi or Jenny

Got the same outcome as Chilli

(Girl, I let 'em all go)

Ooh, no more trickin' and kissin' miscellaneous chicks

Acting like a jerk, woman I been to church

And I talked to the bishop and he wanted me

To share this with ya

How much I miss 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 tried to flex but I confess that when you left

You took the very best thing

The best thing that ever happened to me

You took my 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

Momma try to tell me, Hovi Hov to slow it down

You gon' lose your best thing if you keep gettin' 'round

Like Pop need a partner when you old to hold you down

Ma, forever young, was forever numb

Sorry Stacy, 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

I can't be fake, I can't be phony

Acting all hard that's for homies that's lonely

I tried to flex but I confess that when you left

You took the very best thing

The best thing that ever happened to me

You took my 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
