Best Thing

[Intro: Jay-Z]

I mean, Ush, is this what it comes to man?

It's how we gon do it?

I mean even grass grow baby, you know?

Seeds become plant, boys become men

What we gon do? Let's lead the way

[Jay-Z]

Uh, wrapped around all girls like Pashminas

What's my demeanor? The grass is always greener

On the other side, there's bigger lies, can't give a ringer

I couldn't give a {{fuck}}, how could I give her finger?

Let alone have bad for closets

So claustrophobic, if there are close objects

Now it's sort of like two car garages

It's like two broad menages, you're the best, mama

[Usher]

Is there any chance that you remember, mami being more?

Just a horrible man, and would you consider pulling this trigger and taking a second

shot at romance? Aw baby, I groomed the days when you were my girl

And I was your man, though I took you for granted

But it wasn't till now I see how much i missed you

Girl I'm sorry I ran the streets acting like a damn fool

But for once it dawns the truth

I can be fake, I can be phony

Acting all hard, that's for homage is slowly

I try to flex but I confess, that when you left you took the very best thing

[Chorus]

The best thing that ever happened to me

You took the best thing

The best thing that I ever seen

You took the best thing

The best thing that I ever had

And you're all I feel in strength

Cause baby when you left, you took the very best

[Usher]

Remember Mimi or Vita? Remember Iesha or Eva, I ain't got 'em no more

Hey, it's for Naomi and Jenny, the same outcome as Chilli, girl, I let 'em all go

Oooh, no more trickin and kissin miscellaneous chicks acting like a jerk

Woman, I been to church and I talked to the bishop

And he wanted me to share this with you; how much I missed you

I'm so sorry that I ran the streets acting like a damn fool

But for once it goes that's true

I can be fake, I can be phony

Acting all hard, that's for homage is slowly

I try to flex but I confess, that when you left you took the very best thing

[Chorus]

[Jay-Z]

Uh, momma try to told me "Hovi Hov to slow it down

You gon' lose the your thing if you keep gettin round"

Like pop need a partner when you ol' to hold him down

Ma, forever young was forever numb

Sorry Staci, sorry Dawn, Amil-lion and all of them

All of them was for the time, it wasn't you, it was him

School me once, school me twice, three times I was dumb

Now it's so plain to see to me I got the one, you the best mama

[Usher]

I can be fake, I can be phony

Acting all hard, that's for homage is slowly

I try to flex but I confess, that when you left you took the very best thing
