The 1 That Got Away / No Shoes

Lyrics

[Part I: "The 1 That Got Away"] [Verse: Vic Mensa] I can't see it coming down my eyes But I gotta let this song cry I gotta let you know this been on my mind for a long time But the cat had my tongue When we were young I told my dogs You should be having my son But after one too many van tours to endure Illusions of grandeur, I left you hanging just like a jury You were my first love, and you just became secondary I was busy chasin' pussy like Tom runnin' from Jerry And that's ass backwards, I know Like an asthmatic who smoke I flashback to the laughs we shared, broke as a joke Not a care in the world, together we prepared for the world Backstage at On The Run tour And I'm there with my girl By my side when I sign my deal, wavin' hi to them dollar bills We couldn't buy a meal, now I was worth about a mil' That shit went to my head like a Sudafed I used to drive your car to move my buddha Now they know my name in Budapest My money got older, I grew up less And I do confess, I broke your heart Like a sledgehammer through the chest Tryna be known in this music mess I left the one that knew me best, I left the one that knew me best [Chorus: Charlie Wilson & Vic Mensa] Let's hit rewind a little (Can we go back?) Go back in time just a little When you were mine, a little (Can we go?) Just like old times, just a little (Just) [Part II: "No Shoes"] [Verse: Vic Mensa] Five eight, six feet with the heels on Used to be my rhythm but we lost the tempo Even when I'm right, tell me what I did wrong Treat me like I'm gone every time I get home Remember when I put you in that new Benzo? How you gon' be mad that I'm off a Benzo? Should've kept your ass in the fuckin' friendzone Maybe I was in a different time zone [Chorus: Vic Mensa & Charlie Wilson] 'Cause I can't find the time for you, let you tell it (Know I would go blind for you) I'd never change my mind for you, yeah, it's true (Just to keep my eyes on you) But you love to run your mouth, don't you? (I would run a mile) When you know I'd run a mile for you with no shoes (I'm addicted to you baby, oh yeah) [Outro: Charlie Wilson] Addicted to you, baby, addicted to you, baby, oh, oh Oh yeah
