I guess you knew and blew a good thing, baby Bye baby, I guess you knew why I walked away When we walked to the altar that was an awesome day Did counseling couldn't force me to stay Something happens when you say I do, we go astray Why did we mess it up? We was friends, we had it all Reason you don't trust men, that was ya daddy fault He in the grave let it go he no longer living Said you caught him cheating with mom, fucking other women Fuck that gotta do with us?, here's the keys to the newest truck Birkin bags, we burnin' cash, now baby do it up No matter who you fuck, that was before me Wanted you as my shorty since before I saw you screamin' "Hate you so much right now" Should've saw the man in angry black women Actions of a demon I'm leaving I guess you knew and blew a good thing, baby (Bye baby) You know I'm saying bye-bye (Bye-bye baby) Cause I'm sayin' bye-bye (Bye baby) Cause I'm sayin' bye-bye I guess you knew and blew a good thing, baby Bye baby, I guess you know why I had to leave Seven months in your pregnancy, 'bout to have my seed Let's take it back some years, rewind it to the happy years You and your Star Trak fam, I'm thinking you cats are weird Same time different year, I was diggin' your flow Then I tatted you on my arm so niggas would know I thought no one could stop us, matching gold watches I was your Johnny Depp, you was my Janis Joplin Yet, the cuter version, yet I knew you personally Better than you knew yourself and I knew this for certain Crib in the Dominican you got away from everybody You screaming at the racist cops in Miami was probably The highlight of my life, like "Hiyo look at my wife" Gangsta, me and twenty cops 'bout to fight, crazy night Bailed you out, next morning we got clean Like it never happened and later we at that Heat game Just another day in the life of two people in love But it wasn't enough, so baby guess what... I guess you knew and blew a good thing, baby (Bye baby) You know I'm saying bye-bye (Bye-bye baby) Cause I'm sayin' bye-bye (Bye baby) Cause I'm sayin' bye-bye I guess you knew and blew a good thing, baby Listen, could you imagine writing your deposition? Divorce Lawyer telling you how this thing gonna be ending? "With you paying out the ass, and I'm talking half Not some but half. No serious, half" Half of your soul, half of your heart you leaving behind It's either that or die, I wanted peace of mind And all I seen was selfish cowards, under they breath Saying "why did Nas trust her?", but look at yourself, speak louder bro You live with your babymoms and scared to make an honest woman out of her And make her your bride, fake bitch you ain't even alive At least I can say I tried plus enjoyed the ride Plus we got our little boy, my little joy and pride He got my nose, my grill, your colour, your eyes Next go round I hope I pick the truest type and watch me do it all again It's a beautiful life, aight Goodbye (Bye baby) You know I'm saying bye-bye (Bye-bye baby) Cause I'm sayin' bye-bye (Bye baby) I guess you knew and blew a good thing Cause I'm sayin' bye-bye I guess you knew and blew a good thing
