I,i,i ... i wasnt ready [x4]

[verse 1: marques houston]
Wen u talked about our future
U would nod ya head and smile
But i didnt understand it
I was living in denile
I couldnt see tha picture
But now i see it clearer
Cause i was so young
And now that i could get cha
I wanted ta be wit cha
What have i become

[chorus]
(i,i .. i wasnt ready)
This is game that ive playin cause (i,i .. i wasnt ready)
I neva gave u ma all wen i had ur trust (i,i .. i wasnt ready)
But i put this on everything that i love
One more chance so we could make up
Wish it coulda worked back then
But the truth is i wasnt ready (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

[verse 2: marques houston]
Momma told me bout excuses
She'd say that there no use to say
Watchu would have done but did it
I had to learn the hard way
Now that its over
I wanted to jus hold u
But i kno i cant
I'm tryna be a soldier
I wanna do it over
Give me one more chance (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

[chorus]
(i,i .. i wasnt ready)
This is game that ive playin cause (i,i .. i wasnt ready)
I neva gave u ma all wen i had ur trust (i,i .. i wasnt ready)
But i put this on everything that i love
One more chance so we could make up
Wish it coulda worked back then
But the truth is i wasnt ready (i,i .. i wasnt ready)

[hook: marques houston]
Can i get a re-do baby
Cause u no i need u baby
And now i'm ready for ur love, ur love
I jus wanna see u baby
Jus wanna smell and breathe u baby (your so beautiful mami)
Cause i hate what we`ve become (yeah)
I wasnt ready for ur love

[rap: rufus blaq]
Yo i waited i contemplated and then i did it
There was room for relationship but pretty had to hit it
We like hand in glove, a head to a yankee fitted
Game is responsibily, its all how u spit it (betta yet live it)
Cause karma is a tru adventure
Sorta like a ninga or king and all his splender
Remember love can be as cold as decemeber
Unless its in its truest form i could neva end ya
Can break or make u, see my vision cuz i noe eventually
Ull see my vision by the way i'm livin (this is a given)
I'm given u my heart i'm givin u my soul i'm givin u my gold
I'm sorry for the dirt that i did
Sneakin broads in and out tha crib
Tha double life i lived
They say a fool sells dreams
But a man makes dreams come tru
Mami i changed all for the love of u

[chorus x2: marques houston]
(i,i wasnt ready)
This is game that ive playin cause (i,i .. i wasnt ready)
I neva gave u ma all wen i had ur trust (i,i .. i wasnt ready)
But i put this on everything that i love
One more chance so we could make up
Wish it coulda worked back then
But the truth is i wasnt ready
(i,i .. i wasnt ready)
(i,i .. i wasnt ready)
[corner boys]
(i,i .. i wasnt ready)
(i,i .. i wasnt ready)
