Song lyrics

[Intro:]
I guessed you knew and blew a good thing, baby!

[Verse 1:]
Bye, baby, I guess you knew why I walked away,
When we walked to the altar that was an awesome day,
Did counselin', couldn't force me to stay,
Something happens when you say, ‘I do', we go astray.
Why did we mess it up? We was friends, we had it all,
Reason you don't trust men, that was your daddy fault,
He in the grave, let it go, he no longer livin',
Said you caught him cheatin' with mom, fuckin' other women.
Fuck that gotta do with us?
Here's the keys to the newest truck,
Birkin bags, we burnin' cash, now, baby, do it up,
No matter who you fuck, that was before me,
Wanted you as my shorty since before I saw you screamin'.
Hate you so much right now,
Shoulda saw the meaning, angry black woman,
Actions of a demon, I'm leavin'.

[Chorus:]
I guessed you knew and blew a good thing, baby!
Bye, baby!
You know I'm saying bye-bye.
Bye, bye, baby!
Can't believe this is happening to us.
‘Cause I'm saying bye-bye
Bye, baby!
‘Cause I'm saying bye-bye
I guessed you knew and blew a good thing, baby!

[Verse 2:]
Bye, baby, I guess you know why I had to leave,
Seven months in your pregnancy, ‘bout to have my seed.
Let's take it back some years, rewind it to the happy years,
You and your Star Trak fam, I'm thinkin' you cats are weird,
Same time different year, I was diggin' y'all flow,
Then I tatted you on my arm so niggas would know,
I thought no one could stop us, matchin' gold watches,
I was your Johnny Depp, you was my Janis Joplin.
Yet, the cuter version,
Yet, I knew you personally, better than you knew yourself and I knew this for certain,
Crib in the Dominican, you got away from everybody,
You screamin' at the racist cops in Miami, was probably
The highlight of my life, like, ‘Ha, yo, look at my wife!'
Gangsta, me and twenty cops ‘bout to fight,
Crazy night, bailed you out, next morning we got clean,
Like it never happened and later we at that Heat game.
Just another day in the life of two people in love,
But it wasn't enough, so, baby, guess what?

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Listen, could you imagine writin' your deposition,
Divorce lawyer tellin' you how this thing gonna be endin'?
With you payin' out the ass and I'm talkin' half,
Not some but half, no, serious, half.
Half of your soul, half of your heart you leavin' behind,
It's either that or die, I wanted peace of mind,
And all I seen was selfish cowards under their breath
Sayin', ‘Why did Nas trust her?'
But look at yourself, speak louder, bruh,
You live with your baby moms and scared to make an honest woman out of her,
And make her your bride, fake pimps, you ain't even alive.
At least, I can say I tried plus enjoyed the ride,
Plus, we got our little boy, my little joy and pride,
He got my nose, my grill, your color, your eyes.
Next go round I hope I pick the truest type and watch me do it all again,
It's a beautiful life, aight?
Goodbye.

[Chorus]
