Haiku D'etat
All Good Things
[Verse 1: Abstract Rude]
I had you 1st they had you 2nd
It took many dates before I saw you naked
I respected that
The average cat would hit and never call you back
But that ain't me and I had to get in contact
I courted you
I can't believe I was able to have afforded you
She high maintenance but down to Earth
Found in her what no other woman had
To be my lady on steady basis
Look at me chasing till I caught it
So much body my naughty girl with me tonight yes
Sexy in the black innocent in the white dress
A stimulating conversation piece
Plus yeah she hate it when I'm out of commission for weeks
Memories that I don't wanna forget
A lotta shoulda would coulda I ain't gonna regret
But uh... we did invest a lot of time with each
Other I can't believe the love contract's breached
Like I said it was good some of the time
I guess the good times don't last

[Bridge]
Like, love, youth, wealth, life
Togetherness, health and our very last night

[Hook]
We once had love - that time has passed
Cause all good things they say never last
The young get old and life's too fast
Cause all good things they say never last
Once was rich now you got no cash
Cause all good things they say never last
The good die young and that's so sad
Cause all good things they say never last

[Verse 2: Myka 9]
You can't take none of it witcha
It's such a pretty picture when you first get hitched
I missed the way you was before you switched
Call it the honeymoon period
Till your voice hits a certain pitch then the eclipse
Sunny days to rainy ways drain my energy
Running out of my own house
All because of your mouth
I was a devout and loyal spouse
Now I cruise the couch
With hotel vouchers and food stamps
Lousy out look on you tramp
I've been ousted flowers grow bloom and die
Hang them upside down to dry
Money comes money stacks
Till they hit you with that tax
People kick it then they kick rocks
Or kick the bucket back to the essence
Magazine queen so serene so supreme
Till I woke up from the dream
Now I'm hoping she'll just give me back
My computer screen and the keys to my machine
To keep some things you got to let them go to grow
Some good things don't last

[Bridge]

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Aceyalone]
Damn it was beautiful
In & out without a doubt but I was stupid through
But that don't kill you that just make you sweat
But I regret to let it go as far as that see
Love is live when you young
And better when you're older
And instead of the cold shoulder
Should've tried to hold her
But hold on is what they say
And that's what you told her
But you can't hear the truth
Cause you're running your motor
Top of the world baby we did it
I wish it could last forever & stay committed
One of the best times in my life I admit it
Still they take 'em away and they break it up & split it
Better savor the moment remember every component
Analyze the skies cause you don't own it
That's right forward forever backwards never
But I think back a little just to get my mind together
And every now & then I read a old letter
Don't take for granted the time you have with your loved ones
Cause some things don't last

[Bridge]
