[corner boys]

I,i,i ... i wasnt ready [x4]

[verse 1: marques houston]

Wen u talked about our future

U would nod ya head and smile

But i didnt understand it

I was living in denile

I couldnt see tha picture

But now i see it clearer

Cause i was so young

And now that i could get cha

I wanted ta be wit cha

What have i become

[chorus]

(i,i .. i wasnt ready)

This is game that ive playin cause (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

I neva gave u ma all wen i had ur trust (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

But i put this on everything that i love

One more chance so we could make up

Wish it coulda worked back then

But the truth is i wasnt ready (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

[verse 2: marques houston]

Momma told me bout excuses

She'd say that there no use to say

Watchu would have done but did it

I had to learn the hard way

Now that its over

I wanted to jus hold u

But i kno i cant

I'm tryna be a soldier

I wanna do it over

Give me one more chance (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

[chorus]

(i,i .. i wasnt ready)

This is game that ive playin cause (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

I neva gave u ma all wen i had ur trust (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

But i put this on everything that i love

One more chance so we could make up

Wish it coulda worked back then

But the truth is i wasnt ready (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

[hook: marques houston]

Can i get a re-do baby

Cause u no i need u baby

And now i'm ready for ur love, ur love

I jus wanna see u baby

Jus wanna smell and breathe u baby (your so beautiful mami)

Cause i hate what we`ve become (yeah)

I wasnt ready for ur love

[rap: rufus blaq]

Yo i waited i contemplated and then i did it

There was room for relationship but pretty had to hit it

We like hand in glove, a head to a yankee fitted

Game is responsibily, its all how u spit it (betta yet live it)

Cause karma is a tru adventure

Sorta like a ninga or king and all his splender

Remember love can be as cold as decemeber

Unless its in its truest form i could neva end ya

Can break or make u, see my vision cuz i noe eventually

Ull see my vision by the way i'm livin (this is a given)

I'm given u my heart i'm givin u my soul i'm givin u my gold

I'm sorry for the dirt that i did

Sneakin broads in and out tha crib

Tha double life i lived

They say a fool sells dreams

But a man makes dreams come tru

Mami i changed all for the love of u

[chorus x2: marques houston]

(i,i wasnt ready)

This is game that ive playin cause (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

I neva gave u ma all wen i had ur trust (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

But i put this on everything that i love

One more chance so we could make up

Wish it coulda worked back then

But the truth is i wasnt ready

(i,i .. i wasnt ready)

(i,i .. i wasnt ready)

[corner boys]

(i,i .. i wasnt ready)

(i,i .. i wasnt ready)

[outro: marques houston]

Wish it coulda worked back then, damn ...
