Song Lyrics

So what, what do I do now
Do what without you now?
So what, what do I do now
Do what without you now?

U told me that we would always be together
Said we'd make it through the stormy weather
But ya locked up now

U told me don't wait on the floor forever
Said I gotta look for something better
'Cause ya locked up now

I shoulda known from da corner of da block
That you were wrong
One day soon you'd be leavin' me alone
But I gave you da digits anyway

Ooh, I had my doubts
But you know how I like 'em thugged out
Thought for sure
I could change a thugs route

But a mans gonna be what a man wants to be
No matter what ya say sometimes

You gave me fancy cars, diamonds and pearls
But without ya here what is it worth?
Not a damn thing
Sometimes I cry in the rain for you

Ya wishin' things could be the way they were
'Cause all the joy of love turned into hurt
And I can't take the pain
These pictures on the wall won't do

Gangsta u told me that we would always be together
Said we'd make it through the stormy weather
But ya locked up now

U told me don't wait on the floor forever
Said I gotta look for something better
'Cause ya locked up now

I understand that in the game sometimes you lose ya man
But 25 to life wasn't in the plan, how do I pick up the pieces?
I keep fallin' to pieces, every time that I see you caged up
I kept prayin' everyday you'd wake up

But all the money somehow wasn't enough
I guess you had ya own reasons
Now it's only teasin' your all

You gave me fancy cars, diamonds and pearls
But without ya here what is it worth?
Not a damn thing
Sometimes I cry in the rain for you

Ya wishin' things could be the way they were
'Cause all the joy of love turned into hurt
And I can't take the pain
These pictures on the wall won't do

Gangsta u told me that we would always be together
Said we'd make it through the stormy weather
But ya locked up now

U told me don't wait on the floor forever
Said I gotta look for something better
'Cause ya locked up now

I've been gain it all, there's no need to fall
As long as I knew you'd come home
A simple 9 to 5 and some quality time
instead of catchin' up on the jail phone

I tried to let go 'cause ya tellin' me so
But I don't wanna move on
I'm down for mine but I'm tired of cryin'
I gotta face the fact that you're gone

U told me that we would always be together
Said we'd make it through the stormy weather
But ya locked up now

U told me don't wait on the floor forever
Said I gotta look for something better
'Cause ya locked up now

So what, what do I do now
Do what without you now?
So what, what do I do now
Do what without you now?

So what, what do I do now
Do what without you now?
So what, what do I do now
Do what without you now?
