9th Wonder
Cancelled Facebooks
Verse 1:
I Googled your name
Just to see how you was doing
I think you cancelled your Facebook
I couldn’t find you
And I know you probably think
That we ended in ruins
But let’s go back
We ain’t speak in a while
I think it’s time to
And I realize I ain’t really speaking to you
But I promise to be real
What I speak is true
Now I know from your line sister
You think of me spitefully
But the way I cut it off didn’t involve my wife to be
You may think I’m lying
'cause at the time it seemed shady
But I was faithful
Even she knew you were my lady
She didn’t disrespect
You can neglect that speculation
That’s not to say we ain’t want each other
She just had patience
That’s real
I ain’t express that in the moment
For that I’m sorry
I know I could’ve been more forthcoming
But I was stuck
I mean we both was
Caught in a net
You tried to leave me first, matter of fact
Let’s not forget
It was an alpha that I think you
Said you started feeling
He was giving you driving lessons
And he seemed appealing
And I should’ve let you go
'Cause we were at a ceiling
I wasn’t a fan of losing power
It was competition
So we stayed together
Well after we should’ve split
Going through motions like we wasn’t
Crawling in a pit

And I knew for a minute
That you wasn’t the One
I thought it was you
But I fell in love with your tongue
Came out of myself
You showed me things I never saw
Even after I told you I ain’t want it
No more
I was struggling
You couldn’t tell
Or you didn’t want to
I was weak for your body
Former feelings I was numb to
Put up a valiant effort
To save myself for marriage
Dorm visits and vulnerability was an error
Frat parties and Facebook picture albums was this era:
“Should I knot my bowtie this way?”
“Should I wear my hair up?”
“Are you staying with me tonight? Tell me where should we lay up."
"I got practice in the morning girl, I shouldn’t stay up.”
I wish these memories were fonder
This is what I get for staying awake
Listening to 9th Wonder

It was fun
It was flesh
But it was smoke and mirrors
On York St. in Davenport I wish
I spoken clearer
If I could look you in your eyes
I would show remorse
But I’m thankful for the way
That life has run its course


[Franceska Marie]
You said you loved me
You were lying
You said you cared
So why am I crying?
That you would be there
Now I’m here alone
That’s not fair
No, not fair
I thought you were the one
(you ain’t about nothing…)
To be the only one
(there goes that)
But you cared about no one
But yourself, no one else
You said:
“I’m sorry for hurting you.”
(I am sorry, too)
You said:
“I’m sorry for breaking your heart.”
(You live and you learn.)
“I’m sorry you’re tearing apart.”
(I’m breaking, I’m aching.)

Now look at you falling apart

Sorry, sorry, sorry
(Stop saying sorry.)
Sorry, sorry, sorry – a broken record

I’m sorry, sorry, sorry
You lost me at sorry
Sorry, sorry, sorry – she’s broken
You wrecked her
