Somethin' You Forgot- Lil Wayne
[Chorus] (Lil' Wayne)
I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending, and that's all I can do (that's all I can do mama)
The love I'm sending ain't making it through to your heart (I hope you hear me)
[Lil' Wayne]
Pain, since I've lost you, I'm lost too
Nigga feelin' like he at the bottom like a horse shoe
Sorry for the trouble that I put you and your heart through
God knows that I'd do anything for a part two, or to
be prayin' for the day you come back to me, sayin' that you forgive me
Give me another chance, I'm needin' it like a kidney
I don't wanna advance, give me back her hands
Give me back her touch, I don't ask for much
but I fucked up, I know I fucked up, I admit I fucked up
but everybody fuck up, now this other nigga lucked up
Tellin' me and my clique don't give a fuck
Cause um, we from New Orleans, she was from Georgia
She was my down chick, I was her soldier
I was her gangsta, she was my shoulder
You were the pistol to my holster .. BANG!
[Chorus] (Lil' Wayne)
You've been hiding, never letting it show
Always trying, to keep it under control (I see you hidin' it mama)
You got it down, and your well on your way to the top (keep doin' your thing)
but there is something you forgot
[Lil' Wayne]
You forgot about the house, you forgot about the ring
I remember everything, I just wanna hear you sing
I remember the love, right after the fights
You can't tell me you don't remember those nights
and if I would cry, then you would cry twice
To me you are the brightest star under sunlight
See take away my title, take away my stripes
You give me back my girl and you give me back my life
Give me back my girl and you give me back my life
See this is just a nightmare, so I blink twice
Open up my eyes hopin' she'd be in my sight
I remember the time, I wish I could bring it back
What she mean to me, is what I mean to rap (what I mean to rap)
[Chorus] (Lil' Wayne)
You've been hiding, (y'know) never letting it show
Always trying (I see you hidin' it mama)
to keep it under control (but I know you know)
You got it down (I know you do)
and your well on your way to the top
(but I wish you and yours nothin' but happiness shawty)
[Verse 3:]
But I hope you haven't forgot about me up in the livin' room watchin' Sports Center
You were cookin' dinner, I was such a sinner, but the Lord is a forgiver
You know they say if you pray then you can get your blessings ordered and delivered
and your boyfriend is not like me
Ma you even went and got a teardrop like me
I remember we would sit at home all day
You called me "Butta", I called you "Bay"
My momma asked about you, my partners did too
I know your daughter will be so amazin' like you
and I know you probably wish you never met me, and I just wish you never forget me
and let me say, please don't worry 'bout the women I have been with
No engagement can amount to your friendship
and I hope that nigga know he got a queen, and all I can do is dream .. damn
[Chorus]
I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending, and that's all I can do
The love I'm sending ain't making it through to your heart

No Day But Today
There is never really a good time to let go of your ego and admit you are wrong. Sometimes I wish everyone had it in them to be forgiving, but unfortunately, that's not how the world works. I still don't understand where everything went wrong, but I guess I am not supposed to understand. It drives me crazy to think something happened that is outside of my control and there is no logical reasoning for it. I told someone today that I hope they are doing well and that as long as they are happy then that is all that matters. It's hard to bring yourself to say that when you don't understand what has happened, but I felt a need to let them know that it is truly about forgiveness. I forgive her. She has made my life so difficult, but also contributed a lot to my life insightfully as well. I learned about a lot of things. I can now take the things I have learned and apply them to my life or think of ways to make life better. I'll always care about her, but I will never forget the way she has made me feel. It's hard not to associate her with negative feelings; feelings of panic, frustration, anger, sadness, etc. but I try to see it as a learning experience and I try to think of it like there is nothing I could have done; which there isn't.
Sometimes you feel you are being pushed...pushed in a direction you may be weary about at first because it's not only a little foreign but also a lot familiar; but then when you decide to follow that direction willingly, wonderful things start to happen in your life. Things start to kinda fall into place and even though you may not be completely 100% comfortable all the time, the uncomfortable is God saying "Okay, so this is what I told you to do, now do it. I don't care if you like it right now. I don't care if you want to go in a different direction. You just need to do what I tell you." Sometimes when your parents tell you to do something when you're little and you don't listen and do what you want to do anyway, bad things happen right? For example, your mom might have told you "Now, don't touch that oven, it's hot. It will burn you." But because you were curious/intrigued, you did it anyway. Then you got burnt. What have you learned from this? You have learned that your curiosity has been fulfilled, but also that your mother was right. So, you then trust that the things your mother has to say and believe they are credible, but sometimes when we're immature in things, we have to try and push the intrigue/curiosity button, knowing something bad is likely to happen to us. Sometimes we have to learn on our own. There are some things that it is okay to do this with, but others are too important. There isn't always going to be that person you thought would be there for you, there, if you decide to push the curiosity button. I was lucky...
I played with fire, I got scorched. Not exactly what I would call fun. It's like a rollercoaster ride on steroids, but it stops on occasion, so it can move backward instead of forward; then you end up getting nowhere. I always wanted to move forward, but it was seen as a desire to move backward, but backward wasn't where I was headed. I just felt starting from square one was important, but it was not happening. I am able to start from square one now because I have essentially had no choice. I have had to re-learn who I am, what I like and don't like; and what is acceptable and unacceptable to me. I sometimes feel like I am living a surreal life, but one day it will feel completely real and satisfaction will take its course.
