Tell Me
Smilez & Southstar

Intro:
(Smilez)
Yea this right here
Is going out to all them girls out there
That did me and South wrong
Ya know?
Tell y'all a lil' story
It's the reason

Chorus:
Love, hate, mistakes
Tell me what ya think is going on
Keep dates, all day
Tell me what ya think is going on
Too late, heartbreak
Tell me what ya think is going on
What's going on, what's going on

Verse 1:
(Smilez)
Aiyyo me an' Miss Thang
We were the perfect team
We had all the things all them other couples fiend
Love, trust, good sex, and security
If you ever felt weak, Smilez was your energy
Trips across seas
Showed you the finer things
No more Burger King
It was fine dine, cuisine
An' if it never had it
I don't think it mattered
We were a classic like Nas in Illmatic
I was so deceived
I thought we had a thing
You used to blow my two-way up wit 143's
The L-O-V had me blind, I wanted to see
I trusted my friends
All they were yellin' at me
How can you do me so wrong?
I don't wanna get dogged
I invested three years ma, plus this song
I'm so confused
Where to go?
How do I choose?
I guess to find real love I gotta pay my dues

Chorus

Verse 2:
(Southstar)
It seemed so good
Yo, we used to chill in the 'hood
You made me feel that tingle in my heart like nobody could
An' all alone we stood, when times was hard
Even before all this rap shit made me a star
When I was working two jobs, just to survive
When I felt like killin' myself you kept me alive
What a pair
Me and you, we was a match
Different tastes, but you know opposites attract
By my side
Held my head an' kept me strong
Still tryin' to figure out where the hell we went wrong
I did what I can
Young cat bein' a man
Stayed and weathered the storm when most would of ran
Too much pride
An' you know men don't cry
Had to let you go even though it hurt inside
All by myself
Now I had a turn at these rhymes
It's the only way I know to release my mind.

Chorus

Verse 3:
(Smilez)
It's been a while
Yeah, you know time goes fast
Let me tell you though, some things still don't pass
Sit back in the pad
Think about the times we had
Try not to let it make me sad
Or make me mad
I'm tryin' to move on wit my life
The wound is healed
Yeah, I'm just speakin' it real
I'm ready to feel
Ready to provide for my seed
A man now
Bet you can't believe it's me
(Southstar)
You ruined a good thing
An' all of our dreams
Tryin' to lock me down a lifetime in the bing
Monitoring my calls, griping at my dogs
I never really understood the cause
My friends were your friends
Your friends were my friends
Your dough was my dough
My dough is my dough
Mano y mano
We'll foot this weather
An' everybody that been through it
Then sing it together

Chorus (twice)
