: (Black Thought): (Uh, uh, uh, uh, say what, uh, what, what, what, yeah) Hmmm, oh yeah, (Uh, what, yeah, come on, yo it's not about me, it's about you girl) Yeah (It's all about) When we first met You stole my heart away Your love was incredible Then you began to change Made me feel special Now all you do is make me cry Gave you my everything baby All you gave me was lies I, I try to be the one for you, ooh Matter nothing what I do do So I'm leaving: It's all about you And not about me When we get in a fight I'm be the first to apologize Even if it was you who did wrong Can't please you, can't go on No matter what I do for you It's never any good for you Why you got to complain, it's insane I can't stay I, I try to be the one for you, ooh Matter nothing what I do do So I'm leaving: It's all about you And not about me Oh I see you got the Samsonite set out For what to jet out? What you can't take it no more So you got to get out Your back broke from that last straw Oh you on the next plane Head games making it hard to maintain Got a hypocritical love doing the same thing Situation Kool and the Gang To bursting in flames And how relationships change Worse than the pain for really Your attitude kill me Look at you in the doorway Trying to ice grill me Your heavy heart hurting From trying to not feel me Come in girl and put your suitcase down We'll work it out as soon as I'm back from out of town For now just stick around I'll reach out from the airport Soon as I hit the ground Let's try to stay afloat in this sand And not drown love I know the time, I hear you calling out for real You got to realize US is what it's all about I, I try to be the one for you, ooh Matter nothing what I do do So I'm leaving: It's all about you And not about me
