M.O.A.N. (Missed Opportunities And Negligence)

HAHA!

[Verse 1:]
All alone, gazing at the stars at home, thoughts are gone
Thinking of a girl who used to kiss the ground I walked upon
Still I didn't lift her up, thought her love was bottomless
I never appreciated her level of tolerance
Verbally abusive with her, kept her feeling low and used her
Partners told me man you better treat her right before you lose her
She ain't going nowhere fool, wisdom I ain't try'na listen
Came home one day looked around, all her clothes and stuff was missing
Why she playin, let me call her, we goin add this drama out
Cell phone number disconnected, bet she at her mama house
Waited for her day and night, she need to get off the gas
Sitting around still waiting, two years and a month done passed
Realizing my foolish ways, too late now but after while
Seen her at a restaurant, with her husband and a child
Now since I'm a wiser man, I'm happy to see her free
Even though it seems like she got better after leaving me
WOW

Can you believe that?
Can you believe that?
I never would have conceive that

[Hook:]
It make me wanna (MOAN)
Missed Opportunities And Negligence
Didn't cherish what I had and hurting from it ever since
(It make me wanna moan)
Self-inflictive digits I was falling in
Would have done it different if I had to do it all again (Moan)
Sometimes I moan
Sometimes we moan
Sometimes I moan
Sometimes we...

[Verse 2:]
He was tryna be a hustler get a street diploma
Fascinated by them chromes they make out on the corner
Everybody said them streets goin be the death of you
Mad cause mama fussing, she just want the best for you
Youngsta thought he knew it all, can't nobody tell em nothing
Ever since I could remember, lil' daddy been selling something
Jammed him up a couple times, own homies dropping dimes
Made it through without a scratch, still ain't recognize the signs
Met a chick out on the street, hooked up and begun to love her
Brought her in the middle of his business, put no one above her
He got busted went to jail, thought she be the one to suffer
Seen his woman at the trial, found out she a undercover
Didn't save no cash for lawyers, court appointed worst defenders
Judge gave him 11 years, crazy for a first offender
Bailiff let him out the room, down the hall and straight to prison
Mama's word resonating in his memory, 'you should've listened'

[Hook]

[Verse 3:]
Years ago this fella had a son but didn't stay to name him
Had him from a girl he didn't love so he refuse to claim him
She was just another victim that he smashed killing time
His own mama said the baby looked just like him, still denying
She promised it was his child, every night she cry and cry
Anytime she ask for money, he would leave her high and dry
Finally she said forget it, even thought that stance was hard
She gave up and let him make it, put it in the hands of God
Now the child is getting older, hanging with the other kids
Broke his mother's heart when he would ask her who is father is
Had no answers years passed, he removed it from his thoughts
Mama raised him well, making grades and real good in sports
Scholarships, grown scouts, TV man he blowing up
Looking like he 'bout to make it, here come daddy showing up
Son said where ya been? You can't ease back in my life again
I don't need you now you should of came when I needed you then
