I'm the Reason
You don't understand there's no equivalent to me
Check my qualities
In my back pocket got affection
Not to mention the thug in me
You gotta see
But, but I don't think you know
Who really runs the show
You was a pile of cents
Now you're worth a little more
I was holdin' you down
You thought I would stick around
(Uh, but you were just too blind to see, girl, I)
I know this
If I don't know nothin'
I know one thing for sure (for sure)
I know that I'm the reason
You walkin' like you're walkin'
You talkin' how you're talkin'
But you act like you don't know what I've done for you
Girl, I got some plans for us
Take a trip overseas for us
To a foreign land (land)
'Cause I was your man (man)

When you was mine's (you was mine's)
You know, the best times of your life (best time of your life baby)
Now (now, oh)
So behind us, yeah (yeah)
But you act like you don't know
