Joe Budden - Dear Angela lyrics

Yo, what's goin' on?

Whatever we had going ain't showing anymore
Where there used to be laughter
Now there's only pain

I never thought it would end
Called you my soulmate
(Uh, huh) , thought you'd become my wife
Together forever
Nobody could tell me otherwise
Now I look back (What?)
Remembering all the tears from your eyes
Those were the three longest
Years of my life, i had to put 'em in song
Should of known that we
Couldn't whether the storm
When you and moms ain't get along
How could you be the one?
Or maybe (What?) I was in need of your touch
Fresh off of a drug addiction


Maybe I just needed a crutch inseparable us
No matter what looked out for the kid
I never thought you'd point me
Out to the pigs, my girlie special
Both of us was acting confused (Uh, huh)
Said we'd have a child together
(Why?) so our families would have to approve
But prior to you miscarried
(Thank God) I wasn't ready for a kid
I was only working stock at the wiz
It's backwards i just wanted to help you
Couldn't take you comin' to
Me sayin', "Mouse
There's somethin' I gotta tell you sit down"

Whatever we had going
I ain't want it like this
Ain't showing anymore
But, I tried, I tried my hardest
Where there used to be laughter
But, you slipped, you some other shit
Now there's only pain listen

All I wanted in my better half
(What?) , I thought that I found her
Even though we argued the pussy was
The best that I encountered
I tried to put the BS past me
So we could live in this same house happy
(But then what?) , but then you stabbed me
Ambulance, ER, don't know what I'ma do
(Uh, huh) tube in my dick
(Tell 'em) , scared
Still all I wanted was you
Damn my thinking was sick back then
I left the hospital, you came home from jail
We'll be united again
Bed ridden, I just wanted to see you
(I love ya) pleadin' but you tryna leave
"Don't go Angela, please, i need you"
I ain't think you'd throw it
(Why?) but you gave me a motive
Look, I'm sorry, but I couldn't control it
(I'm sorry) i know I called you named I
Promised I'd never call you
(But) You said some shit, good thing my
Dawgs got me up off you (Uh, huh)
Left me with a lot of thoughts
Every other day it's somethin' new
Like, "Joey, we gotta talk
This ain't working out"

Whatever we had going nah, uh uh, not again
Ain't showing anymore
I don't wanna hear that
Where there used to be laughter
I'll work it out, I'll fix things
Now there's only pain what happened?

You threw my clothes out the window
(Uh, huh)
What I did? Throw your clothes out the window
How the fuck I end up in jail?
(I don't understand) just like that, ma
You at the precinct with my son
He ain't have to see his dad
Walk in cuffs like that (Uh, huh)
Learnt my lesson
On one hand you gave me such a beautiful seed
But on the other hand he's used as a weapon
Why things have to change for the worse?
(Uh uh, uh uh) Scratch that
They really changed after birth
I guess you got what you wanted
A bad breakup's like murder
When it comes down to it
I know I put you through hell
You gotta know it's vice versa
But we ain't gotta hate each other
(Nah) , I tried to make it work
I wanted a family, not just a baby mother
Look, the lust was gone, the trust is gone
Come to grips with the thought of us is gone
It's more than just a song
I'm good now, you not the only one fed up
(Uh, huh) but rather than us talk about it
I'll just write you a letter dear Angie

Whatever we had going ain't showing anymore
Where there used to be laughter
Now there's only pain
