A Tale of Two feat. Eric Roberson

{Intro}
Two people, two people, [3x]
(Nothin' more, nothin' less),

{Verse 1}
Met her in Rolla, lived in the towers,
Same floor that I was, which did allow us,
To sit and talk for hours, in between dealings,
And all this unveiling, clearly there was feelings,
But she had a ceiling, it couldn't move further,
At least she prefered to, just have a friendship,
But we couldn't end it, too late,
Now we got way too involved in each other just to push it along,
Man the problem, (Problem was),
Deeply she had me,
Back in Miami, wasn't just her family,
She whispered so sadly, that her heart belonged to,
A real good brother, she didn't intend to,
Make me her lover, (She had a man, man, but I had a plan, man),
But this is said after, well let's say I had her,
Well let's say I'd rather be the one that mattered, (E, that's too much),
OK, that sounds dramatic, maybe I should just chill, (Yeah),
And let's let this little story here build, (Yeah, let's do that),
Months invaded, and I hate to say it,
I'm more like a replacement, now I have to face it,
The kiss that I gave her, I feel like I wasted,
When I'm invited, I still wanna taste it,
So I still visit, and try to imagine,
This time that we havin', was more like back when,
We were just chattin',
Next thing that happened is her phone start to ring,
And now I'm laying there not saying a thing, man,

(Two people),

{Verse 2}
So I start thinking, more and more lately,
Before I go crazy, another young lady,
Maybe should be added, (She can play on my team),
Yeah, that sound bad it,
Wasn't my intention, but see, it made sense then,
Yo, i was thinkin', (I wasn't thinkin'),
Too busy hurtin',
Too busy workin', (too busy workin'),
To hold her attention,
Just like I mentioned, (On you),
New chick comes in and I tell her the deal, (And her too),
Like you can love me, but you can never feel, you know,
She got two,
I got two,
I thought this through like we would be cool,
But boy, was I wrong, it didn't take long,
For this little feeling here to grow real strong,
Chick found out Miami dude was doing her wrong,
Though she rocked the same song,
Act like she don't sing along,
Now he gone,
Now she under me like the day is the sun,
Now she tryna tell me that I'm the one,
Now she wants to make this official, (What),
But I got an issue,
She gonna need tissue, (Naw, baby, I'm sorry),
When this talk is over, I sat and I told her,
That I no longer, need her and want her, (I gotta go now),
At least in that fashion,
See, that can happen, (Bye bye, don't cry),
When all the passion is exchanged for smashin',
And the simple fact is,
She can't get mad 'cause she taught me the game,
So of course, I would be doin' the same, yeah,

(Two people),

{Verse 3}
This situation, more like role playin',
Strangers in the day and, lovers in the A.M.,
So all that I'm sayin', she asked for a favor,
When her man came up, act like her neighbor,
The whole time waitin', the whole time hatin',
Visions that I'm havin', of the fun they havin',
Man, you can imagine,
How it feels now just to change up the scene,
Flip the script, if you know what I mean,
Now she don't wanna, but I want to,
I thought this through, but oh, what a fool,
These girls are too smart, it's 'bout to get dark,
Soon they meet each other and it doesn't take long,
I should've thought of this come up from start,
Now they playin' me hard, like they playin' their part,
Now I'm caught,
Bad news hit me, comin' one at a time,
Both are pregnant,
And they sayin' it's mine,

{Breakdown}
Some people don't understand, (You really need to chill on),
Love's for one woman and man, ('Cause you're only gonna hurt like),
No one else can spend the night, (Tryin' to share your love with),
If you take that oath for life, ('Cause love is only meant for),
So make sure that you understand, (Be careful who you be with),
Love's for one woman and man, (Yeah),
See, no one else can spend the night,
If you took that oath for life,

Now yes there's a lesson here to be learned,
Karma is patient, it waits for its turn,
You may not see the crime that you're doin',
But believe at some point you'll pay,
This story's a warning for those acting young,
Playin' with emotions sometimes may be fun,
Be careful with the games you're playin',
You may just be the one who's played,

{Outro}
If you got two people on your team,
You better cut back like gettin' lean,
'Cause one of dem girls gone make a scene,
'Cause only one of dem girls can be the queen,
And I know, you think it's understood,
You got your playa card and all is good,
But liers get just what liers should,
Don't wanna end up like Tiger Woods,
Y'all.
