Blood & Tears

[Verse 1:]

I'm... sippin here reminiscing

Until this time I never thought about how much I missed it

But not the phony niggas, or the groupie bitches

No not the autographs kissing ass and taking pictures

I made a bottom line, not just a surface of it

The reason why I rhyme, I mean the purpose of it

You were my everything, the reason why I breathe

I would have never thought, one day you up and leave

See I cannot believe how much you mean to me

Cause back in 87 you were just a dream to me

See I would listen to you, write and quote your lines

See I would think about you, but never spoke my mind

See how these niggas treat you, they talking different to you

They wanna single deal, but no commitment to you

But I ain't sticking with'chu, until I ride away

Hip hop's my favorite girl, the one that got away

[Hook x2]

[Verse 2:]

I heard you got a gangsta, something I can't explain

He know he fuckin with you, but he ain't try'na claim

He say he not a rapper, just out here spittin game

And he don't care about you, just want his piece of change

Well I guess he changed, don't know what happen to ya

See all that shit he slang, it never matter to ya

I mean you have your fun, so I can never hate it

But we were never done, just maybe separated

I guess I thought we made it, and started trickin' on you

And I got less creative and started shittin' on you

That's when I got complacent, I mean depression hit

I wasn't running from you just had to question it

See I'm a sucka for you, that's why they talk about me

But like I give a fuck about the shit they blog about me

I mean you save my life, that's why I write towards it

The bond I know we have, that's why I'm fighting for it

[Hook x2]

[Verse 3:]

So now I'm more reclusive, and less exclusive

And fuck the moderation I became much more abusive

I mean I left the crib, I wasn't with my kids

But a life without you isn't what I wanna live

Ain't no controlling this, I put my hole in this

I mean I gave it all I put my heart and soul to this

See we were meant to be, why would you leave me now?

Me and my microphone, I swear I see it now

I got my life in order, so I'm back on my mission

My music is my drug, so I feed my addiction

You are the piece that's missing; I swear you must believe me

I'm finished business baby, I need you to complete

The critics say we over, and I should leave em be

They just don't understand that I am what'chu need

We'll make em all believers, cause they were meant to see

My soul made from the start, hip hop will meant to be
