[Nas] Yo, I took you from the projects, put the best clothes in ya closet Like Ginger from "Casino" and now you a pro We was like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe All ya jealous girlfriends hatin' waitin' So I put the cars in yo hand All I know is Nas was yo man It was so real, boats and sixes Special Japanese chefs makin' home cooked dishes Plenty trips, invisible sets You know what you missin'
Jennifer Lopez] It's funny cause, for a while Walked around with a smile But deep inside, I could hear Voices telling me "This ain't right" Don't you know, it's not for you I always knew what I had to do But it's hard to get away Cause I love you I just tried to say
[Chorus] I used to say I couldn't do it but I did it (Yes I did) After telling everybody that I wasn't with it (Oh yeah) Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And I know inside that I'm gonna be alright (Gonna be alright) I said I couldn't do it but I did it (Yes I did) After telling everybody that I wasn't with it (Oh yeah) Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright (Gonna be alright)
[Jennifer Lopez] Friends of mine say to me Say you got control over me You're not alone, I played my part I Saw the way you were from the start How could I expect so much from you You had a girl when I first met you Did the best that you could do Now I realize that I can't change you
[Chorus]
Jennifer Lopez & {Nas}] Said I wouldn't walk away Some days I want to stay (Days I want to stay) But leaving you is what I need to do (Need to do) To be OK (I need to be OK) I never thought it would be true (Would be true) Be leaving without you (Leaving without you) {Huh, this life is crazy} So now it's time for me to make that move
Nas with J.Lo ad-libs] Huh check it Yo nobody understands me, I'm dealin' with pressure My peoples is locked in a jail cell with no bail stressin'(oh no) Guess it's the life of a kingpin Rap Stephen King, rock bling Like neon lights, we gon' be alright (be alright) But it's like you feelin' lesser Claim I'm actin' like a retard Writin' me and my boys(oh no) We start fights, with will I'm in charge You scream I'm in the streets all night Or where was I at, ya found light brown hairs on my hat I'm slow caught
