[00:30.32]Since you finishin em early, what posessed you to start him?
[00:33.21]We made a vow - later we'll regret til death do us part
[00:36.03]Lord, I thought we was made for each other
[00:38.18]You shouldn't connect those, made to be taken away from each other
[00:41.35]Now what I'm supposed to do? I'm only half the man that I was
[00:44.54]I'll never last, cause my better half is up there with you
[00:47.12]You knew what you was doin when you made us; so with all due respect
[00:50.99]you coulda forgave him, you didn't have to take him
[00:53.40]He can take the game with him, cause he defines the word
[00:55.91]The one who puts the G in it, who you think put me in it?
[00:56.38]
[00:59.00]I'm feelin like my whole world is blinded - wonderin why
[01:02.07]Cryin, pourin out my heart, pourin out liquor behind it
[01:04.81]We fought like brothers, somethin we never should do
[01:07.43]We coulda used time spent arguin tellin the truth
[01:10.57]He had talent too - I had plans on watchin him grow
[01:13.39]Don't know what hurts more - seein him leave, or watchin him go
