Shareefa – U Told Me lyrics

So what, what do I do now, do what without you now? [x2]

U told me that we would always be togetha
Said we'd make it through da stormy weather
But ya locked up now
U told me don't wait on da floor foreva
Said I gotta look fo something betta
'cause ya locked up now (Got anotha story to tell)

I shoulda known, from da corner of da block that you were wrong
One day soon you'd be leavin me alone, but I gave you da digits anyway
Ooh I had my doubts, but you know how I like em thugged out
Thought for sure I could change a thugs route
But a mans gonna be what a man wants to be no matter what ya say sometimes

You gave me fancy cars, diamonds and pearls
But without ya here what is it worth?
Not a damn thing
Sometimes I cry in da rain for you
Ya wishin things could be da way they were
'cause all da joy of love turned into hurt
And I can't take da pain
These pictures on da wall wont do

Gangsta U told me that we would always be togetha
Said we'd make it through da stormy weather
But ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my baby
U told me don't wait on da floor foreva
Said I gotta look fo something betta
'cause ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my gangsta

I undastand that in da game sometimes you lose ya man
But 25 to life wasn't in da plan, how do I pick up da pieces?
I keep fallin to pieces, everytime that I see you caked up
I kept prayin everyday you'd wake up
But all da money somehow wasn't enough
I guess you had ya own reasons
Now it's only tears in your eyes

You gave me fancy cars, diamonds and pearls (You gave me)
But without ya here what is it worth?
Not a damn thing
Sometimes I cry in da rain for you
Ya wishin things could be da way they were (Hey hey)
'cause all da joy of love turned into hurt
And I can't take da pain
These pictures on da wall wont do

Gangsta U told me that we would always be togetha (Hey hey yeah)
Said we'd make it through da stormy weather (U told me)
But ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my baby
U told me don't wait on da floor foreva
Said I gotta look fo something betta
'cause ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my gangsta

??????
As long as I knew you'd come home
A simple 9 to 5 and some quality time (instead of catchin up on da jail phone)
I tried to let go 'cause ya tellin me so
But I don't wanna move on
I'm down fo mine but I'm tired of cryin
I gotta face the fact that you're gone.

U told me that we would always be togetha
Said we'd make it through da stormy weather
But ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my baby
U told me don't wait on da floor foreva
Said I gotta look fo something betta
'cause ya locked up now
Don't it break yo heart to be without yo gangsta

So what, what do I do now, do what without you now? [x4]
