Lyrics

[Hook] And we're off to the races, places Ready, set, the gate is Down and now we're going in To Las Vegas chaos, Casino Oasis Honey, it is time to spin Boy, you're so crazy, baby I love you forever, not maybe You are my one true love You are my one true love [Verse 1] Let her know I'm here if she ever need me to be with her As long as she know I can never be with her She asks you why, I just need you to keep it G with her Tell her I found a happiness that I could never see with her Three years after that break up, should've had closure by now We'd be best friends, you'da let this end, we'd be closer by now But you want us upset, hostile, angry, evil, jealous, bitter, shit Fuck makin' your bed and lyin' in it You bought the house, live with it I came to you for a second chance, you gave me your ass to kiss Found another salad to toss, how the fuck is you mad at this? Oh, I forgot, you not in love anymore And I'd believe it, but see, I'm not on drugs anymore That's based on action; words I stopped believin', still I hear it though Would you save them if you knew they became meaningless to me years ago? But if happiness is the finish line, I beat you there So Karma must be real 'cause since we broke up he ain't treat you fair [Hook] And we're off to the races, places Ready, set, the gate is Down and now we're going in To Las Vegas chaos, Casino Oasis Honey, it is time to spin Boy, you're so crazy, baby I love you forever, not maybe You are my one true love You are my one true love [Verse 2] Remember our bad break-up? I rapped about it on "Downfall" But you know I don't stay down for long Remember you met that other dude Who's smarter and more mature, with more bread That you thought would be around for long? Remember you pulled the rug from under me, left me to be alone? I threatened suicide, begged, was crazy about you But that stalker dude was deranged To the point you wished death on his name And when we speak now, you still say I'm crazy without you My, my how the tables have turned Or are they bendin' just a little? You resent it just a little? 'Cause dude that ruined your life made you doubt yours It's the reason that loneliness you gave me is now yours Check it, in perspective I can't even call it hatin' You mad at the situation, really it ain't even Kaylin We both sympathized, that pain is felt and shared To watch a man that you helped better display it elsewhere Watch a man you spent years with, grew with Come across as someone that you want nothin' to do with To sleep in a bed with "what ifs?" instead of somethin' special How can you get over us? The public won't even let you I know to wake up with that fear is gross Love me from far 'cause you scared to get close But what are you fearin' the most? If happiness is the finish line, I beat you there I always thought that when you'd put the baggage down I'd meet you there [Hook] And we're off to the races, places Ready, set, the gate is Down and now we're going in To Las Vegas chaos, Casino Oasis Honey, it is time to spin Boy, you're so crazy, baby I love you forever, not maybe You are my one true love You are my one true love Uh, let's bring it up to speed a lil' bit [Verse 3] Now a nigga ballin', you still tell me to grow some Entertainin' threesomes, you don't think that it's wholesome Say that you can't trust me, think I'm out here trashin' you Got a lot of answers to questions I don't be askin' you I tried to be friends so I don't see a problem passin' through You welcome a nigga then paint it as me harassin' you You must be misconstruin' my love and it's gassin' you Causin' you to wear our shit out and think it's fashionable I'm thinkin' you should put our history in back of you That would call for you steppin' outside of yourself and bein' rational Come to friendship, you question me in that capacity How would you ever know? It's not somethin' you ever asked of me And VH1 just gave us another episode So maybe it's smart that you can't let this go 'Cause love changes, a thug changes And soulmates become strangers, word up [Hook] And we're off to the races, places Ready, set, the gate is Down and now we're going in To Las Vegas chaos, Casino Oasis Honey, it is time to spin Boy, you're so crazy, baby I love you forever, not maybe You are my one true love You are my one true love
