Shareefa Lyrics
"U Told Me"

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

you told me that we would always be together
Said we'd make it through the stormy weather
But ya locked up now
you told me don't wait on a thug forever
Said I gotta look for something better
Cause ya locked up now (Got another story to tell)

I should've known, from the corner of the block that you were wrong
One day soon you'd be leaving me alone, but I gave you the 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 the rain for you
Ya wishing things could be the way they were
Cause all the joy of love turned into hurt
And I cant take the pain
These pictures on the wall wont do

Gangsta you told me that we would always be together
Said we'd make it through the stormy weather
But ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my baby
you told me don't wait on a thug forever
Said I gotta look for something better
Cause ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my gangsta

I understand that in the game sometimes you lose ya man
But 25 to life wasn't in the plan, how do I pick up the pieces?
I keep falling to pieces, everytime that I see you caged up
I kept praying everyday you'd wake up
But all the money somehow wasn't enough
I guess you had ya own reasons
Now its only teasin your ??

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 the rain for you
Ya wishing things could be the way they were (Hey hey)
Cause all the joy of love turned into hurt
And I cant take the pain
These pictures on the wall wont do

Gangsta you told me that we would always be together (Hey hey yeah)
Said we'd make it through the stormy weather (you told me)
But ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my baby
you told me don't wait on a thug forever
Said I gotta look for something better
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 the jail phone)
I tried to let go cause ya telling me so
But I don't wanna move on
I'm down for mine but I'm tired of crying
I gotta face the fact that you're gone.

you told me that we would always be Goethe
Said we'd make it through the stormy weather
But ya locked up now
And it breaks my heart to be without my baby
you told me don't wait on a thug forever
Said I gotta look for something better
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]
