Why's it hard For one to understand I'm only a man That had a certain plan A way to happiness I saw a certain path And that she would build It with me, but she can't Because she couldn't go The distance her feet in the sand Stuck on the beach Or stuck on a tan Stuck on materiels and stuck On her slanting eyebrows blurring What she sees for her man Says not another one Likes it's worse Then working in sanitary jobs At least it's a job Everybody wants to do hiphop Everybody wants to ride in big cars Get ice with the big sparks Man what makes you so different What makes them want to listen What would make me pay attention I told you I wasn't With it don't matter If it's your passion We like men with goals And certain aspirations I'll acknowledge Anything but that So don't tell me anything That you work at Unless it's literal work Them nine to five stacks And put a ring on this But it won't change that And I have bought you things too Went on trips And called each other boo I didn't trip just knew It'd make up for it all She knew was to put make-up On it it's still a bruise We could've been big We could've been a team We could've been one Is what I would've seen We could've been them That they'd envy We could take over this world You were all I ever need We could've been big We could've been a team We could've been them Is what I would've seen We could've been one That they'd envy We could take over this world You were all I ever need Days passed but the feeling Still remained So too her I'd project all the pain Didn't know where it came From didn't guess Just thought it Was a heart on my sleeve Her thoughts of support Was showing up to certain things Never on being The backbone or the steam To keep the engine Going worried it goes nowhere Never had the help To to keep the focus right here So where's the strings That I could hold onto The support That I'm looking upon you Where's the love That you said you had for me Where it mattered But you didn't even show me I was waiting for it To be in places that mattered But it always turned Out to be the same pattern I didn't hae to tell you I thought it'd just happen I thought you were The one that I had imagined We could've been big We could've been a team We could've been one Is what I would've seen We could've been them That they'd envy We could take over this world You were all I ever need We could've been big We could've been a team We could've been them Is what I would've seen We could've been one That they'd envy We could take over this world You were all I ever need
