[Intro: Fabolous Talking]

You see, what I can't understand

Is how somebody have a life-time friend

Who they've been through thick and thin with

And they just fall out over the simplest shit, man

But that same person will be in a relationship with a triflin ass mo'fucka

But they keep taking them back!

Shit is crazy...

[Verse 1: Fabolous]

The Karma of fucking over a good person

Is the asshole you end up with

Get a taste of your own medicine

Funny, you the one who end up sick

Always took you back, even though it made my friends upset

Told me I should blow you off, haven’t got that wind up, yet

Know how many days I’ve hurt, many nights I’ve been up stressed

Thought that we had been in love, maybe I’ve just been obsessed

When you crossed me, you lost me

Now if I was guarding Derrick Rose

I would be more understanding but you ain't Derrick Rose

You was my number one, but uuuhmm, you ain't Derrick Rose

You try to make a point again, you ain’t Derrick Rose

You just on some bullshit, bitch, you ain’t Derrick Rose

I’m a lover and a fighter, fight for what I love

But you made something of, bitches I think nothing of

Ask myself why I fight when it’s long been over

God gives the hardest battles to the strongest soldiers

So I fight for us, as long as there is reason to

You wanted to give up on us as long as there is season two

Cool, you’re gonna need me one day

And if it’s Sunday, that one day gonna be Monday

That’s how fast things change sometimes

Niggas play the tough role, I Ving Rhames sometimes

Like, like, like I don't want that bitch back

I mean, I want her, but I don’t want the bitch back

She said she want him, but she don’t want that nigga back

That nigga act like I ain’t have a nigga back

[Hook]

You’re gonna need me someday

You’re gonna want me back in your heart

[Pre-verse: Joe Budden speaking]

So much pain in this sample

So much pain in some of our hearts

I just want a pain-free heart

I don't ask for much

Fab, what's good though

Let's talk to her...

[Verse 2: Joe Budden]

Let me start wtih with ‘I love you’ , I think that we have the power to grow

Woulda gave up, but it ain’t no coward in Joe

Funny thing about it all is you checked my Twitter every hour or so

And then you bring this fake shit to our reality show

Been however many years looking for devotion, it’s weird

Your feelings but I put them into motion

I Dictate the what’s and why’s, the how and when

You ain’t learn to separate your now from then

I keep my distance, ‘cause when I’m near, my head is hurting

Exhausted every road to friendship, but its never working

Me, I met the sweetest girl, you know ya'll met in person

Bottom line, I made you then made a better version

I tried to give you good advice, but you ain’t heed it

Must’ve figured you ain’t need it, but all I can do is seed it

Told you you’re gonna fuck around and end up sick

You chose dick from this nigga off the New York Knicks

My Nig...you’re so spiteful, that ain’t the way we act

That cock was inserted in you, how could it pay me back?

I know you said when we were over you'd start aiming bigger

But you can’t have anonymity with famous niggas

I know you’re thinking my happiness is a front

How would you ever know? Happiness is what you wanted

So unidentifiable when that armor never let up

You fucked me real good, but karma fucked you better

[Hook]

You’re gonna need me one day

You’re gonna want me back in your heart

[Teyana Taylor]

You never miss a good thing till it leave you

Finally I realize I don’t need you

You want me back, you know you’re gonna need me back

Gotta have me back, yeah

Heartbroken when you left my world

Boy, you know you should’ve kept this girl, I was there for you

Now I don’t know what you gonna do without me, baby

That was the last thing I said to you

I notice you know its dead end with you

[Hook]

You’re gonna want me back, you’re gonna want me back

You’re gonna want me back

You’re gonna need me one day

You’re gonna want me back in your heart
