Usher - Best Thing featuring Jay Z
Jay-Z Speaking
I mean Ush is this what it come to man
This how we gunna do it
I mean even grass grow baby you know
Seeds becomes plants boys become men
What we gunna do let's lead the way
Jay-Z Verse
Wrapped around on girls like pashminas
Was my demeanor
The grass is always greener on the other side
It's a bigger lie give can't ringo
I couldn't give a
How could I give a finger
Let alone half bath and closets
So claustrophobic
In fear of close objects
Now it's sorta like two car garages
It's like two broads menagin'
You're the best mama
Verse 1
Is there any chance
That you remember me bein
More than just a horrible man
And would consider pullin this trigger
And taking second shot at romance
Aw babe I want the days
When you were my girl and I was your man
I know I took ya for granted
But it wasn't till now
I see how much I miss you
Girl I'm sorry that I ran the streets
Acting like a damn fool
But for once here goes the truth
Chorus
I can be fake I can be phony
Acting all hard that's for homies so slowly
I tried to flex but I confess
That when you left you took the very best thing
The best thing that ever happened to me
You took my best thing
The best thing that I ever seen
You took the best thing
The best thing that I've ever had
And now all I feel is stress
Cause when you left you took the very best
Verse 2
Remember Mimi Evita
Remember Eisha or Eva
I ain't got em no more
Ask for Naomi and Jenny
The same outcome as Jilly
Girl I let em all go
No more trickin' and kissin' miscellaneous chicks
Acting like a jerk
Woman I've been to church
And I talked to the bishop
And he wanted me to share this with you
How much I miss you
I'm sorry that I ran the streets
Acting like a damn fool
But for once here goes the truth
Chorus
I can be fake I can be phony
Acting all hard that's for homies so slowly
I tried to flex but I confess
That when you left you took the very best thing
The best thing that ever happened to me
You took my best thing
The best thing that I've ever seen
You took the best thing
The best thing that I've ever had
And now all I feel is stress
Cause when you left you took the very best
Jay-Z Verse 2
Mama tried to told me Hovi Hov to slow it down
You gunna lose your best thing
If you keep gettin round
Like pop need a partner when old to hold you down
Ma forever young was forever numb
Sorry Stacey sorry Tanya
Millian and all of them
All of them was for the time
It wasn't you it was him
School me once School me twice
Three times I was dumb
Now it's so plain to see to me I got the one
You the best Mama
Chorus
I can be fake I can be phony
Acting all hard that's for homies so slowly
I tried to flex but I confess
That when you left you took the very best thing
The best thing that ever happened to me
You took my best thing
The best thing that I've ever seen
You took the best thing
The best thing that I've ever had
And now all I feel is stress
Cause when you left you took the very best
End
