Da Brat - I Was The One lyrics

You thought I was the one, but I got my own whips Own chips own crib and I don't need this sh** here You thought I was the one, to be dependin' on you I'm a independent woman, I'm sorry homie that you You thought I was the one, to just settle for promises That you never kept thought I would fail but you won't 'cause You thought I was the one, but you been proven false The truth is you lost, I pay the cost to do what ever I want, yeah He, thought I was virgin Mary sweet as a nun Wanted to marry me with hopes I'd carry his son Or his daughter the thought I gotta stay out of the parties Stay in the house, be lonesome, and talk to nobody Be cooped up for the longest, with nothin' but time Misery loves company but it ain't no friend of mine I cooked and cleaned like a Hebrew slave, till I got blisters A modern day Miss Celie, and he was my mister But I woke up one day, started to get real slick Called a couple of my friends with a few scenarios Felt like a dance with the devil, didn't like being happily Married no more had to go real quick, 'cause it's my time And I done made up my mind Shawntae gotta leave you behind And get my dough 'cause half of that's mine And my drow to help me the daughter sunshine You thought I wouldn't make it but I'm livin' proof Do on to others as you'd have motherf**ers do on to you You thought I was the one, but I got my own whips Own chips, own crib and I don't need this sh** here You thought I was the one, to be dependin' on you I'm a independent woman, I'm sorry homie that you You thought I was the one, to just settle for promises That you never kept, thought I would fail but you won't 'cause You thought I was the one, but you been proven false The truth is you lost, I pay the cost to do what ever I want, yeah She, was my ace boon coon in high, we grew up together You f**ed with her I'd fight you, and vice versa From cla** to choir rehearsal, totin' the bags Slangin' them sacks, and beat up all the hood rats Rolling off with the richest n***as on the block And bring they whips back, but things changed When I started to rap, jealousy kicked in She wouldn't be my friend, she wasn't even lookin' out for me Then, she didn't even have time to call me on the phone To say hello so good-bye, good-bye You'll never get apiece of my love again Don't try, my love is everlasting like Tony Terry I'm very territorial and I'm over protective to n***as I love, 'cause I respect them, but not this heffa She took things in a different direction I can't protect her when it's said and done, sh** I am not the one, I need loyal buddies, supportive of me Roarin' for me, breakin' my trust can get ugly So please don't mistake my kindness for weakness Learn it, as I stomp trough the trenches on this tedious journey I'm so hot my feet burn, and you keep yearnin' To be a part of my life but you done f**ed it up permanently Now it don't concern me no more You thought I was the one, but I got my own whips Own chips, own crib and I don't need this sh** here You thought I was the one, to be dependin' on you I'm a independent woman, I'm sorry homie that you You thought I was the one, to just settle for promises That you never kept, thought I would fail but you won't 'cause You thought I was the one, but you been proven false The truth is you lost, I pay the cost to do what ever I want, yeah Sena I thought that I was the one Sena I thought, you thought that I was the one Thought I was the one Thought I was the one, yeah You thought I was the one, but I got my own whips Own chips, own crib and I don't need this sh** here You thought I was the one, to be dependin' on you I'm a independent woman, I'm sorry homie that you You thought I was the one, to just settle for promises That you never kept, thought I would fail but you won't 'cause You thought I was the one, but you been proven false The truth is you lost, I pay the cost to do what ever I want, yeah
