Today's the day
She'll leave it all
The people who she lovin' she won't see tomorrow
So say goodbye
C'est la vie
Cause this is the way it's gotta be
Ohhh
I ain't gone forever but I'm gone for good
I was like Oh-oh-oh-oh
I ain't coming back to this neighborhood
Now I'm gone
I don't plan on seein' any you again
And Im'a go-oh-oh-oh-oh
To a place that you never been
[Verse 1: Lox Chatterbox]
Obviously lately I've been feeling like I'm sick
Thinkin all these people against me
Paranoid of who I'm with
Ive been focused on some dumb shit
And its taking up my strength
Now I'm just premeditating on some ways i could escape, like
Maybe I'll stop
Maybe I'll quit
Maybe I'll make it out
Maybe I'll switch
I don't really know tho'
Livin' slow-mo, gettin' blown
Like a Polaroid pic
I'm disappearing out the picture
(I'm disappearing out the picture)
Headed to another level, homie
See you when you get here
Today's the day
C'est la vie
Cause this is the way it's gotta be
Ohhh
C'est la vie
Cause this is the way it's gotta be
Ohhh
I ain't gone forever but I'm gone for good
Now It's like Oh-oh-oh-oh
I ain't coming back to this neighborhood
Now I'm gone
I don't plan on seein' any you again
And Im'a go-oh-oh-oh-oh
To a place that you never been
Honestly she thinkin' all the times that she was reaching
Out to all the people when she needed help to keep from sinkin'
She was drownin' with a mouthful
And a nasil full of powder
And her outerwall was crumbling but she still ain't get no love
She thought
I've been wasting time doing this
I don't know why I'm doing this
Alright
Ive been wasting time doing this
I don't know why I'm doing this
She feelin' like a dead girl walkin'
You could not resuscitate
Up in her bedroom plottin'
Couldn't stop her gettaway
And now her head so rotten
She is bound to make her move tonight
Her move tonight, but you knew that right?
Today's the day
She'll leave it all
The people who she lovin' she won't see tomorrow
So say goodbye
C'est la vie
Cause this is the way it's gotta be
Ohhh
I ain't gone forever but I'm gone for good
I was like Oh-oh-oh-oh
I ain't coming back to this neighborhood
Now I'm gone
I don't plan on seein' any you again
And Im'a go-oh-oh-oh-oh
To a place that you never been
C'est la vie (the way it's gotta be)
She won't see tomorrow
C'est la vie (the way it's gotta be)
