Joe Budden - Better Off Without You lyrics

You was the one baby girl
I never been so sure
Ya skin so pure, the type men go for
The type, they drive a Benz slow for
The type they be beepin the horn
Rollin down the windows for
BUT! had to break up, I had to leave you
It was some things you needed to
Learn that I couldn't teach you
And those words musta hurt
But, if you can't trust me
How am I supposed to trust it'll work?
Like I can't teach you to
Stand right beside me
Or the priveleges that come
With that title "wifey"
It's highly unlikely
And I'm concerned myself
I can't teach you you that bitch
You gotta learn it yourself
And I can't teach you swagger
Can't teach you attitude
Can't teach you to talk
It's a problem get at your dude
We both got some things thats upsettin us
If you don't hear from me
Know I'm somewhere reppin us
Problems lets squash it, it's senseless
Don't wanna end up lovin ma from a distance
We goin do it like uuuggghhh

I don't ever wanna do this thing without you
But, I'm starting to feel
That maybe I'll be better
Off without you baby
(no matter what we went through
See no matter what we went through
We gon' do it like)

What about the months that I left
Am I seein it right?
And is this really how she acts
Without me in her life?
How could you have that fag on
Top of you touchin you like only I used to
Like only I'm used to
And I'm tryna figure it out
And you can't help me
How you naked 'round duckboy
You can't tell me pictures still in my mind
Of THIS nigga feelin ya behind
Am I supposed to still feel like it's mine?
ANd you tense when you by me
You in the shower cryin tryna rub
His prints off yo' body
Cause you feel nasty, and thats sad to see
But, if that got you feelin
That bad then imagine me
Knowin I'm a step ahead of these cats
And you tryin to force yaself to love
Dude ma you better than that
Tryna force him on you cause I took
A step back from us like "chill"
THAT was for us to build
THAT was for us it's real
Let's squash it it's senseless
Don't wanna end up lovin ma from a distance
We goin do it like ugggghhh


Now you got some new men in ya life
Some new friends in ya life
That you act different wit
But baby girl thats not the
Chic that I'm gettin wit
You not the same as you was
Maybe cause ya life changed from what it was
Havin you around ballplayers
Wines gettin finer
Now you eat sushi, no more diner
Now you at a bench, short skirts and eyeliner
You industry now, everything's designer
Things changed everythings designed to
But maybe that life's not you and I'm
The only thing that reminds ya
Say you love me but did you call me no
So is it really really love or
Am I all that you know?
Cause you quick to tell a kid
To never call you again
With that said how can I call
You a friend or anything more?
How can I see us havin anything more
If it's that easy what we
Go through anything for?
Orproblems lets squash it it's senseless
Don't wanna end up lovin ma from a distance
UGGGGHHH
