It's the 17th, one week before the day you were born

I been makin' big plans just for over a month

Tryin' to make this the best birthday you ever had

Show you that you're my baby

Damn, all this strain got me feelin' somethin's wrong

Pulled up to my gate, they keep sayin', “He's gone”

Found envelopes in between my door

Biggest day got me panickin', what the hell this letter gonna read?

Hell no, you say you don't want it no more

Hell no, you say you can't give me what I want

Hell no, how you just gonna leave

When I stayed wit you through hard times and you cheated?

Hell no, I hate to say it but I need it

Hell no, God, please talk to me

Hell no, your so called love was so deep when it told you

You should run far and not give a damn about me

How could you leave me when you see me desperately

In need of what we had before? How could you leave home

I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind

To think but let it go, how could you leave home

Didn't even ever see if we ever meant this shit before

But we been down this road before, how could you leave home

How could you leave me, baby? Please my heart is beating

For the beat we had before, how could you leave home

Now I need you, wanna laugh, wanna stand

Wanna get just one more chance just to see you

All my friends, all my kin say, “Mo, just let that end”

But I breath you

In the driveway, I found pictures on the ground of our first date

I never in a million years thought this would be me

I'm trapped in love with somebody that no longer thinks

I'm somebody special, look at me

Hell no, you say you don't want it no more

Hell no, you say you can't give me what I want

Hell no, how you just gonna leave

When I stayed wit you through hard times and you cheated?

Hell no, I hate to say it but I need it

Hell no, God, please talk to me

Hell no, your so called love was so deep that it told you

You should run far and not give a damn about me

How could you leave me when you see me desperately

In need of what we had before? How could you leave home?

I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind

To think but let it go, how could you leave home?

Didn't even ever see if we ever meant this shit before

But we been down this road before, how could you leave home?

How could you leave me, baby? Please my heart is beating

For the beat we had before, how could you leave home?

Monica and Twista, y'all

(Rap's Twista)

I remember when you said I couldn't get none of that

Then I remember when you let me hit it from the back

I remember we was young and sprung

And steady talkin' on the phone and how we both kept runnin' back

To each other, we were always together forever to the end

I don't really know why I froze up

Plannin' for a weddin' but gettin' married, it's scary

Now I got you cryin' 'cause a nigga didn't show up

Can't really tell you why but I'm Twista from the Chi

And I'm dyin' inside 'cause I know I really want you

So for leavin' one day, I will have to give you the answer, girl

But right now, I can't tell you why I left, girl

Sweet personality and good sex, girl

Fear will take a man life, you suppose to be my wife

Goodbye, hope to see you in the next world

You was all up under me, actin' like you was so in love

I was talkin' 'bout you but thug nigga, what you runnin' for?

Cop wit you in the Benz, you the first one seen on the block wit it

Took you to the club, showed you how to 'Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It'

You was bold when you wanna get some of that

When you wanna hit the hole like a running back

Then you left, now you wanna come runnin' back

Hell no, nigga, I don't wanna hear none of that

I know you quick, betta spit that shit to so

All I ever wanna say to you is

How could you leave me when you?

How could you leave me when you?

How could you leave me when you see me desperately

In need of what we had before? How could you leave home?

I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind

To think but let it go, how could you leave home?

Didn't even ever see if we ever meant this shit before

But we been down this road before, how could you leave home?

How could you leave me, baby? Please my heart is beating

For the beat we had before, how could you leave home?

All the women I caught you with

Still I didn't leave but I didn't forget

All those women I caught you with

Maybe I didn't leave but I didn't forget

All those women I caught you with

But I didn't leave but I didn't forget

All those women, women I caught you with

I didn't leave but I didn't forget
