We had the joys and pain  the sunshine and rain
 Now you got your man  I got my staff and we laugh
 Then I realize.. it was something in the past

 Yo you look good  how you been?
 How's my little man  how's he doing?
 And umm.. did you get the package that I sent?
 I hope that he knows that there's someone who loves him
 But I'm gettin vexed at you and I
 I can't front baby, yeah you still look fly
 And as I try, to get my words together
 There's a lot of nice times that I start to remember
 The good shit always outweighed the bad
 I never wanted to make you sad
 So think of me, as one man
 who has crazy respect for you, as a woman
 Although the plans didn't work out
 It doesn't mean I won't look out
 For you and yours, I wish you the best
 because it's over I guess

 I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
 We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
 Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
 Then I realize.. it's something in the past

 Now I'm livin the life, of a true mack
 Devoted to my music, tryin hard not to look back
 But on occasion I can see your face
 The memories, they got me driftin a little taste
 But now you're doin your thing, I'm takin care of mine
 And so we're movin on, leavin the past behind
 I guess relationships they ain't for me
 That's why I had to set you free

 I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
 We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
 Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
 Then I realize.. it's something in the past

 Haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
 We had the joys and pain, sunshine and rain
 Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
 Then I realize.. it's something in the past

 My personality is magnanimous
 That's why the ladies always cause a fuss
 It's in the past what we had
 Aiyyo respect to your moms and peace to your dad
 I'm glad, that we've been through this
 because you know what? I've noticed
 a lot about myself, see I wanna gain wealth
 They say, that chasin women is bad for your health

 I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
 We have the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
 Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
 Then I realize.. it's something in the past

 Haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
 We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
 Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
 Then I realize.. it's something in the past

 Somethin in the past
 Somethin in the past
 These moments never last
 Somethin in the past

 Dedicated to all the ex girls
 You know I'm on with the next girl
 Peace
