Jay-z - Best Thing lyrics

[Produced By: Jermaine Dupri & Manuel Seal] [Intro: Jay-Z] I mean, Ush, is this what it comes to man? This how we gon' do it? I mean even gra** grow baby, you know? Seeds become plant, boys become men What we gon' do? Let's lead the way [Jay-Z] Uh, wrapped around all girls like Pashminas What's my demeanor? The gra** is always greener On the other side, there's bigger lies, can't give a ring up I couldn't give a f**, how coould I give a finger? Let alone half bath and closets So claustrophobic, in fear of close objects Now it's sorta like two door garages It's like two broads menagin, you the best mama [Usher] Is there any chance That you remember me being more than just a horrible man? And would you consider Pulling this trigger and taking a second shot at romance? Aw baby, I groomed the days when you were my girl And I was your man, though I took you for granted But it wasn't till now I see how much I missed you Girl, I'm sorry I ran the streets acting like a damn fool But for once here goes the truth I can be fake, I can be phony Acting all hard, that's for homage is slowly I try to flex but I confess, that when you left you took the very best thing [Hook] The best thing that ever happened to me You took the best thing The best thing that I ever seen You took the best thing The best thing that I ever had And you're all I feel in strength Cause baby when you left, you took the very best [Usher] Remember Mimi or Vita? Remember Iesha or Eva, I ain't got 'em no more Hey, it's for Naomi and Jenny, the same outcome as Chilli, girl, I let 'em all go Oooh, no more trickin and kissin miscellaneous chicks acting like a jerk Woman, I been to church and I talked to the bishop And he wanted me to share this with you; how much I missed you I'm so sorry that I ran the streets acting like a damn fool But for once it goes that's true I can be fake, I can be phony Acting all hard, that's for homage is slowly I try to flex but I confess, that when you left you took the very best thing [Hook] [Jay-Z] Uh, momma try to told me "Hovi Hov to slow it down You gon' lose the your thing if you keep gettin round" Like pop need a partner when you ol' to hold him down Ma, forever young was forever numb Sorry Staci, sorry Dawn, Amil-lion and all of them All of them was for the time, it wasn't you, it was him School me once, school me twice, three times I was dumb Now it's so plain to see to me I got the one, you the best mama [Usher] I can be fake, I can be phony Acting all hard, that's for homage is slowly I try to flex but I confess, that when you left you took the very best thing [Hook]
