I haven'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 was something in the past Yo, 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 remember The 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 guess I haven'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 past Now 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 free I haven'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 past Haven't seen you in a while, since 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 past My personality is magnanimous That's why the ladies always cause a fuss It's in the past - what we had Aiyyo, 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 want to gain wealth They say that chasin' women is bad for your health I haven'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 past Haven'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 past Somethin' 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
