I still remember writin' words down Tryna get them all out of my mouth Big boy, you a big boy now Big boy, you a big boy now Don't pout 'round me Don't cry around me Don't laugh 'round me You ain't shinin' like me You ain't shinin' like me You ain't shinin' like my cousin You ain't shinin' like me You ain't shinin' like my cousin If I had another I'm a bad motherfucker Got love for my mother The city that protect me I don't fuck with y'all like I used to though But you could come around, for the Houston, baby, oh I still remember writin' words down Tryna get them all out of my mouth Big boy, you a big boy now Big boy, you a big boy now Don't pout 'round me Don't cry around me Don't laugh 'round me You ain't shinin' like me You ain't shinin' like me You ain't shinin' like my cousin You ain't shinin' like me You ain't shinin' like my cousin Who the hell am I? Who the hell are you? Don't waste my time, I got shit to do Been in love with you, don't know what to do Still searchin' for the truth, every which way Mental foreplay, bound by cuffs to you Do it my way, like everything I do Take my breath away Don't let me fade away May die before I wake Not the type to play I take, and take, and take Never want a change Always wanna change Used to count my change Everybody changed Memories of the days I was young at heart Matters of the heart Re-arranged, reactions in my brain Redefine my pain Been wishin' I could change Hard to change my ways Trained a certain way Afraid of my own fate Just another phase Lost cause and a lost child Lost my way tryna change for the wrong crowd I'm weak and I'll say it proud Built me up, pull me down, let's air it out Patch me up, and stitch it Make me better Just patch me up, and stitch it Make me better (Make me better) What a day, what a day I just had a dream that you took it all away (Ayy) Blow smoke in the face I just hope your lil' bro grow to be great (Ayy) What a day, what a day I just had a dream where you took it all away (Ayy) Blow smoke in the face One in the clip, and one in the chamber (Yeah) We was riding in the dark you were putting your legs up (Legs up) Girl, I don't know, maybe I should've stayed shut (Stayed shut) Did I ruin your life baby, even from day one? (Uh-uh) If it was another life, maybe you could still save us (Ooh-ooh) I still remember writin' words down Tryna get them all out of my mouth Big boy, you a big boy now Big boy, you a big boy now Don't pout 'round me Don't cry around me Don't laugh 'round me You ain't shinin' like me You ain't shinin' like me You ain't shinin' like my cousin You ain't shinin' like me You ain't shinin' like my cousin
