I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you

I'm pretending, and that's all I can do (that's all I can do mama)

The love I'm sending ain't making it through to your heart (I hope you hear me)



[Lil' Wayne]

Pain, since I've lost you, I'm lost too

Nigga feelin' like he at the bottom like a horse shoe

Sorry for the trouble that I put you and your heart through

God knows that I'd do anything for a part two, or to

be prayin' for the day you come back to me, sayin' that you forgive me

Give me another chance, I'm needin' it like a kidney

I don't wanna advance, give me back her hands

Give me back her touch, I don't ask for much

but I fucked up, I know I fucked up, I admit I fucked up

but everybody fuck up, now this other nigga lucked up

Tellin' me and my clique don't give a fuck

Cause um, we from New Orleans, she was from Georgia

She was my down chick, I was her soldier

I was her gangsta, she was my shoulder

You were the pistol to my holster .. BANG!



[Chorus] (Lil' Wayne)

You've been hiding, never letting it show

Always trying, to keep it under control (I see you hidin' it mama)

You got it down, and your well on your way to the top (keep doin' your thing)

but there is something you forgot



[Lil' Wayne]

You forgot about the house, you forgot about the ring

I remember everything, I just wanna hear you sing

I remember the love, right after the fights

You can't tell me you don't remember those nights

and if I would cry, then you would cry twice

To me you are the brightest star under sunlight

See take away my title, take away my stripes

You give me back my girl and you give me back my life

Give me back my girl and you give me back my life

See this is just a nightmare, so I blink twice

Open up my eyes hopin' she'd be in my sight

I remember the time, I wish I could bring it back

What she mean to me, is what I mean to rap (what I mean to rap)



[Chorus] (Lil' Wayne)

You've been hiding, (y'know) never letting it show

Always trying (I see you hidin' it mama)

to keep it under control (but I know you know)

You got it down (I know you do)

and your well on your way to the top

(but I wish you and yours nothin' but happiness shawty)



[Verse 3:]

But I hope you haven't forgot about me up in the livin' room watchin' Sports Center

You were cookin' dinner, I was such a sinner, but the Lord is a forgiver

You know they say if you pray then you can get your blessings ordered and delivered

and your boyfriend is not like me

Ma you even went and got a teardrop like me

I remember we would sit at home all day

You called me "Butta", I called you "Babe"

My momma asked about you, my partners did too

I know your daughter will be so amazin' like you

and I know you probably wish you never met me, and I just wish you never forget me

and let me say, please don't worry 'bout the women I have been with

No engagement can amount to your friendship

and I hope that nigga know he got a queen, and all I can do is dream .. DAMN!



[Chorus]

I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you

I'm pretending, and that's all I can do

The love I'm sending ain't making it through to your heart
