I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh
Then I realize it was something in the past
Yo, you look good; how you been?
How's my little man; how's he doing?
And, umm, did you get the package that I sent?
I hope that he knows that there's someone who loves him
But I'm gettin vexed at you and I
I can't front, baby; yeah, you still look fly
And as I try to get my words together
There's a lot of nice times that I start to remember
The good shit always outweighed the bad
I never wanted to make you sad
So think of me, as one man
Who has crazy respect for you, as a woman
Although the plans didn't work out
It doesn't mean I won't look out
For you and yours; I wish you the best
Because it's over, I guess
I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh
Then I realize it's something in the past
Now I'm livin' the life of a true mack
Devoted to my music, tryin' hard not to look back
But on occasion I can see your face
The memories, they got me driftin' a little taste
But now you're doin' your thing; I'm takin' care of mine
And so we're movin' on, leavin' the past behind
I guess relationships - they ain't for me
That's why I had to set you free
I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh
Then I realize.. it's something in the past
Haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
We had the joys and pain, sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh
Then I realize it's something in the past
My personality is magnanimous
That's why the ladies always cause a fuss
It's in the past - what we had
Aiyyo, respect to your moms, and peace to your dad
I'm glad that we've been through this
Because you know what? I've noticed
A lot about myself; see, I want to gain wealth
They say that chasin' women is bad for your health
I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
We have the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh
Then I realize it's something in the past
Haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame
We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain
Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh
Then I realize it's something in the past
Dedicated to all the ex girls
You know I'm on with the next girl
