Temptation

Temptation's got the best of me
My situations got the rest of me
I say it's you but girl I know it's me
I gotta let you be
I gotta set you free

All I do is try to be me
I can't be nobody else
If I can't be with you
I'd rather be by myself
Just understand that a man's going to be a man
If I come back and do it all again
See I'm doing all I can to keep it in order
Trying to make a better life for my sons and my daughter
Often I don't do what I oughtta
I promise I’m going to because life is getting shorter
For each day that I live it’s getting harder and harder
This one is like the pool and I'm drowning in water
So much temptation so much to entice
Can't wait till my number is called
And I'll be through with this life
No longer have to gamble man I am through with the dice
While I am here I'll be good to my kids and true to my wife
As of now the ups and downs of the hood is my plight
But it's got to get better word life

Refrain: Temptation’s got the best of me
My situation’s got the rest of me
I say it's you but girl I know it's me
I gotta let you be
I got a set you free

You always said you would never fall in love with a thug
But I got you with me
The appeal and the feel of a hug
I was sure the allure made you feel secure
Now I hate to leave someone who feels so pure
But I must
The bitch violated my trust
Let's just say she did somethings I don't wish to discuss
Tried to lie about it
Cry about it
Acted the script
I just told her keep on packing while you’re acting this shit
I ain't trying to hear what you say
Some homey's are with that forgiving shit
But never would pray
I'm a ? city reptable
Even in my circle home is that is not acceptable
I don't mess with them
That is why you got to go
So get the dough
Don't come back no more
I don't feel with no hoe

Let it burn because
You are no longer my concern baby
I got to let the next man get his turn Baby

Temptations got the Best of me
My situation’s got the rest of me
I say it's you but girl I know it's me
I got to let you be
I gotta set you free
