Oh yes (Uh, this for you girl)

[Nas]

Yo, I took you from the projects, put the best clothes in ya closet

Like Ginger from "Casino" and now you a pro

We was like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe

All ya jealous girlfriends hatin' waitin'

So I put the cars in yo hand

All I know is Nas was yo man

It was so real, boats and sixes

Special Japanese chefs makin' home cooked dishes

Plenty trips, invisible sets

You know what you missin'

[Jennifer Lopez]

Funny cause for awhile

Walked around with a smile

But deep inside, I could hear

Voices telling me "This ain't right"

Don't you know, it's not for you

I always knew what I had to do

But it's hard to get away

Cause I love you I just got to say

[Chorus:]

I used to say I didn't do it but I did it (Yes I did)

Telling everybody that I wasn't with it (Oh yeah)

Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it

And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright (Gonna be alright)

I said I didn't do it but I did it (Yes I did)

Telling everybody that I wasn't with it (Oh yeah)

Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright (Gonna be alright)

[Jennifer Lopez]

Friends of mine say to me

Say you got control over me

You're not alone, I played my part

Saw the way you were from the start

Cause I expect so much from you

You had a girl when I first met you

Did the best that you could do

Now I realize that I can't change you

[Chorus]

[Jennifer Lopez & {Nas}]

Said I wouldn't walk away

Some days I want to stay (Days I want to stay)

But leaving you is what I need to do (Need to do)

To be OK (I need to be OK)

I never thought it would be true (Would be true)

Be leaving without you (Leaving without you) {Huh, this life is crazy}

So now it's time for me to make that move

[Nas with J.Lo ad-libs]

Huh check it

Yo nobody understands me, I'm dealin' with pressure

My peoples is locked in a jail cell with no bail stressin'

Guess it's the life of a kingpin

Rap Stephen King, rock bling

Like neon lights, we gon' be alright

But it's like you feelin' lesser

Claim I'm actin' like a retard

Writin' me and my boys

We start fights, with will I'm in charge

You scream I'm in the streets all night

Or where was I at, ya found light brown hairs on my hat

I'm so caught

[Chorus]
