So you say you need some time 
To find yourself and free your mind
I can see it clear
I'm no longer needed here
Say you need some time
To find yourself and free your mind
I can see it clear
I'm no longer needed here

Gave you damn near everything
You wasn't a hoe to me
Protected and provided for you 
Cuz thats how its pose to be
But now all of the sudden you want independence
Don't say where your goin you'll just be back in a minute
So I just say fuck it cuz you always had your freedom 
Go and find your friends if you really need em'
To feel good about yourself and give your spirit a boost
They're fuckin over their men hell you might as well do it too
Go find that fountain of youth, that fantasy life 
Where you don't have to work on it to make it right
I never meant to bring you down
You grit your teeth and you frown whenever I come around
And I guess you had enough, packin up leavin
Throwin in the towel for no apparent reason
But I'll be ok in the wind as I ride
Thinkin bout a time when u were by my side

No matter what I do for girl it ain't enough
I helped you raise some badass kids and bought you stuff
You know food to eat money for takin care
I helped you pay your rent sometimes and I don't even stay there
But who cares we're suppose to be one
Late night smokin purple watchin sanford and son
Thats how we use to get down now we fuss and we fight
Cuz I'm always in the studio or club every night
You wanna do what yer friends do 
Hang where them hoes hang 
I'd rather be alone bitch I'm thru with this whole thing
I'm doin my own thing so you should do the same
Stop blowin up my nextel cryin ain't nothin changed
Makin up excuses to leave thats ok
You ain't gotta make excuses to me just go I won't complain
You want the train or the bus I'll call you a cab and you can hand me back the keys to my jag
