who would've thought?

yo, yo, yo...listen...

i really had a feeling this would happen to us

after all, it was ME who brought upon us this curse

but, i had a choice to make, to listen to ma inner voice

so, i'm dealing with HELL, when i chose to block out the noise

and if only i could tell you what i'm feeling inside

all of ma hurts and ma pains and all ma anger and pride

if only i could say and not fall back and just hide

it might help a lil' and we wouldn't ride this tide

and like i've said it before, and i'mma say it again

i never meant to cause you all this displeasure and pain

but after all that's been said, and after all that's been done

who would've thought that YOU'D be the one helping ME to overcome?

after all, it was YOU, YOU, who were feeling so blue

and come to think of it, you're now probably bluer than blue

but still, you be the one, who rather worry for me

now why in the world would you rather do that for me?

when instead, you could always just be keeping yourself

'cause if anythin' happened, i'd probably blame maself

and i'll put it all on me, just to let you see

i'm really hurting in me too - hurting immensely

and this be the first...time, i feel so blind

when i made that decision to give us a lil' time

and it's causing me HELL, like i've said it just now

and i feel ridiculous, tellin' all this somehow

i mean, hasn't ma time come for me to take a final bow?

oh, it hasn't? damn..now, what do i gotta do now?

i still remember though, when you be watchin' ma back

asking ME whether i was fine and got maself back intact

remember what i said? i said, "yeah, i'm fine..i guess.."

but in fact, ma world was twisted and all in a mess

and you said, "i won't have to worry about you flopping over"

well, yeah...i'm tough...tougher than a Land Rover...

or that was what i had thought...not anymore...i'm not

and then, YOU sent me an e-mail...now who would've thought?

that you be tougher than me? in a matter of factly

and i appreciate that you be lookin' out for me

and after all i've been through...in ma crib and ma hood

i guess somethin' good came out of this...that somethin' good was...

YOU...
