Something in the Past

I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh Then I realize.. it was something in the past Yo you look good, how you been? How's my little man, how's he doing? And umm.. did you get the package that I sent? I hope that he knows that there's someone who loves him But I'm gettin vexed at you and I I can't front baby, yeah you still look fly And as I try, to get my words together There's a lot of nice times that I start to remember The good shit always outweighed the bad I never wanted to make you sad So think of me, as one man Who has crazy respect for you, as a woman Although the plans didn't work out It doesn't mean I won't look out For you and yours, I wish you the best Because it's over I guess I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh Then I realize.. it's something in the past Now I'm livin the life, of a true mack Devoted to my music, tryin hard not to look back But on occasion I can see your face The memories, they got me driftin a little taste But now you're doin your thing, I'm takin care of mine And so we're movin on, leavin the past behind I guess relationships they ain't for me That's why I had to set you free I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh Then I realize.. it's something in the past Haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame We had the joys and pain, sunshine and rain Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh Then I realize.. it's something in the past My personality is magnanimous That's why the ladies always cause a fuss It's in the past what we had Aiyyo respect to your moms and peace to your dad I'm glad, that we've been through this Because you know what?
