Lady (Let You Go)

Lyrics

[Intro] It's all good Keep that warm string goin' [Verse 1] Hey lady, how you doin', I ain't seen you in a while Just though I'd send you a word or two, to try to get you to smile Maybe brighten up your day to take your mind off the pain Try to weather the storm, lady, sunshine or rain It ain't easy, I know, you got a kid and all Last time I seen him he was a baby, now he big and tall I hope that I'm helpin' out, with the cash that I'm sendin' And I hope the kid like the last gift that I sent him for Christmas As for me, I'm good, I been workin' a lot A workaholic, but the girl I'm datin', she want me to stop But I can't, you can remember what happened befo'? I went broke in my last home, and she didn't want me no mo' Anyways, I was thinking, and I will make a suggestion That when you talk to the kid, and get to askin' him questions Be grown up, don't talk to him like he a kid You don't want him to make the same mistakes that his daddy did Okay? [Chorus] I never shoulda let you out my sight Never shoulda let you out my life Never shoulda let you go nowhere Never shoulda let you go nowhere Never shoulda let you out my sight Never shoulda let you out my life Never shoulda let you go nowhere I never shoulda let you go [Verse 2] I'll be damned, the mail just rang and guess what I got A lady from you lady, and believe it or not I knew that you was in pain, I can feel it inside Try to be strong and I promise you that you will be back Stop poppin' them pills for real, that ain't the way Do like me when I think about it, I hit my knees and pray Slow down, you gotta kid, you young and beautiful I'm sick and tired of viewin' the young at funerals You feel that? I know you do, we did it togetha And the kids who live and dream, we got to live it fo'eva Don't stop now, better said and hard to do Don't say that you'd rather be dead, and that it's hard for you It was hard for me too, I thought my soul was gone I get teary-eyed just listenin' to a soulful song I can't ever destroy my life, 'cause it's a thing of the past Just relax, I be to see you in a week and a half (Trick Trick) [Chorus] I never shoulda let you out my sight Never shoulda let you out my life Never shoulda let you go nowhere Never shoulda let you go nowhere Never shoulda let you out my sight Never shoulda let you out my life Never shoulda let you go nowhere I never shoulda let you go [Verse 3] I started this song just writin' a letter Reaching out to yo baby mama, man, hopin' she's better She tried to blow her life on x and cane, but I ain't got let her And if she start to slip away again, then I'ma go get her She fucked up! She never expected that you would leave And I told her you snuck away, when I told you give me them keys You hard headed. I turned for a second, you left I'm so pissed at you, I wish I could talk you to death 'Cause you drove off, wouldn't even answer my phone call You shoulda just waited a minute, dammit you done dawg You just missed an old lady, you almost caught But the couple you did kill, they left a son and a daughter They wanted to prosecute you, but you died in the van I shoulda snatched the fuckin' car keys outta you hands And maybe, just maybe, you will still be alive Don't you die! [Chorus] I never shoulda let you out my sight Never shoulda let you out my life Never shoulda let you go nowhere Never shoulda let you go nowhere Never shoulda let you out my sight Never shoulda let you out my life Never shoulda let you go nowhere I never shoulda let you go
