Fantasy was to see me and to be with me there
So she wrote a love letter to me and then she signed it Loretta
Said: I gotta go get him, Will is my Soulmate
We gotta be together how could we not be together
But wait if I send the letter I mean how will I be sure if they give it to him
What if they don't give it to him, that would ruin everything
I gotta take it to him myself
She packed all that she owned into the back of her Jetta
Her backpack, her cellphone and a love letter
Most of her stuff was done up with pictures of me on it with a phrase: It's gonna be on it
Her mother begging her please come home and then Loretta resenting her
Leave me alone Ma! I won't leave my destiny unfulfilled
You're just jealous because Daddy ain't as sweet as my Will
To the front gate at NBC, in June and July, backstage at MTV
She would drive anyplace that they'd mention I'd be
Told herself: Strive for love and God eventually
He would give me to her and her to me, this was meant to be
14 months outside every event that I'd be at, she'd still keep missing me
And now she's getting high with more frequency now
Rage rumbling inside got to be with me now
Then she heard I married Jada, she took her love letter out and wrote down
PS: I hate her
Fantasy was to see me and to be with me there
So she wrote a love letter to me and then she signed it Loretta
Said: I gotta go get him, Will is my Soulmate
We gotta be together how could we not be together
But wait if I send the letter I mean how will I be sure if they give it to him
What if they don't give it to him, that would ruin everything
I gotta take it to him myself
Kodak Center, where the Oscars is at, she's sleep getting woke up by the cops in the back
By a dumpster didn't even greet 'em with fear, grinning ear to ear, said: My husband meeting me here
You know him, he's nominated for his flick 'Ali' & it'll be hell to pay if you pick on me!
Don't put that stick on me! Hell no I'm not leaving, get your hands off me
Don't make those things click on me
Kicking & screaming: You intervening, this is fate
Mister, what you mean that I ain't?
What you mean it seems like I ain't
Ooh, your like my Mom & our love is gonna survive ya'll hate
God gon' take me to my destiny
Ya'll only seeing one side of me
Will gon' see the rest of me, he gon' see the best of me
'If I could only get him next to me, he gon' bring my blessings to me, I know it
Fantasy was to see me and to be with me there
So she wrote a love letter to me and then she signed it Loretta
Said: I gotta go get him, Will is my Soulmate
We gotta be together how could we not be together
But wait if I send the letter I mean how will I be sure if they give it to him
What if they don't give it to him, that would ruin everything
I gotta take it to him myself
