And For What
And For What
3-15
//Chorus//
//Tell me what the fuck happened
To make you start to lie, and why
You played all these games; messin' with these lames
Imagine all the pain you caused me
Tell me what I did
Ain't I good enough?
Ain't I swoll enough?
Ain't I fresh enough?
Spendin' all these stacks, stressin' to the max;
Denyin' all the facts, and for what?//
1st Verse:
Girl, this is somethin' I can't quite understand
I mean, shit, three years I tried bein' your man
I raised my right hand and I swore to do my best
And all you'd ever do is get me real fuckin' stressed
So I guessed I ought a dress (dress) more flashier
Maybe if I looked like a big shot, you'd be happier
Fifty for the shirt, a hundred fifty for the shoes
And regardless of my efforts, I always seem to lose
You always pick and choose, whatever is convenient
Bowin' down to your demands; pathetically obedient
I thought we had a purpose, but I see we had no meaning', shit
So now I'm leavin' it
//Chorus//
//Tell me what the fuck happened
To make you start to lie, and why
You played all these games; messin' with these lames
Imagine all the pain you caused me
Tell me what I did
Ain't I good enough?
Ain't I swoll enough?
Ain't I fresh enough?
Spendin' all these stacks, stressin' to the max;
Denyin' all the facts, and for what?//
2nd Verse:
For nothin'; for nothin'
With you, it's always somethin'
If it ain't meeting' up with dudes, it's partyin' and clubbin'
Takin' off the ring; postin' pictures online
I tried maintainin' your heart while you were shittin' on mine
Always bit my tongue; what I never should've done
I'm stressin' -tryna get some sleep; you're just out havin' fun
Decided not to run and I tried to work it out
But no matter what, I could never forget 'bout
The lies, the pain, the cryin', the shame
The pointless efforts to give you my last name
This is the last game, you'll ever play with me
Now that it's all said and done, it's a new day for me
//Chorus//
//Tell me what the fuck happened
To make you start to lie, and why
You played all these games; messin' with these lames
Imagine all the pain you caused me
Tell me what I did
Ain't I good enough?
Ain't I swoll enough?
Ain't I fresh enough?
Spendin' all these stacks, stressin' to the max;
Denyin' all the facts, and for what?//
No more fightin', no more shoutin'
No more yellin'; no more doubtin'
No more starin' at the clock
No more ever tryna talk
Talk the shit out; work our way through
You never really gave a single fuck, now, did you?
Bitch, you... did a number on me
I know that you are sorry
But you can take that apology back
I don't need that
What I need's my time back, my dignity, and my pride
Never again do I have any pain I gotta hide
Solo, I will ride; glad to say I tried
Thank you for the lesson and thank you for the memories...
And still I'm questioning...
//Tell me what the fuck happened
To make you start to lie, and why
You played all these games; messin' with these lames
Imagine all the pain you caused me
Tell me what I did
Ain't I good enough?
Ain't I swoll enough?
Ain't I fresh enough?
Spendin' all these stacks, stressin' to the max;
Denyin' all the facts, and for what?//
