This shit was all I knew
You and me, only
I did it all for you
Still, you were lonely
We could've worked it out
Uh, but I guess things change
It's funny how someone else's success brings pain
When you're no longer involved
That person has it all
And you just stuck standin' there
I'm gon' need you to say something, baby
Say say something, baby, say something, baby, say something, baby
I'm gon' need you to say something, baby
I'm gon' need you to say something, baby, oh, ooh-whoa

Yeah, it really sucks but ever since I've been long gone
I traded in my señorita for a microphone
I hate the way you fell apart girl, its sad to see
Your life is good but me and you we're a catastrophe
If I was unsuccessful would you be satisfied
I need a paramedic girl, I'm feeling paralyzed
If I could choose, you will always be a friend to me
The more money I made you actin' like my enemy
It's crazy, I can't help it if you feel ashamed
All the pressure would turn you into my diamond babe
How can something so familiar be so strange?
Closest friends get estranged when your status change
Ah, is it my mistake, think that where I am and where you at?
And my homeboy Larry Live is the only one that had my back
We were the perfect pair, and now it seems that we don't match
Is it the money, want me to give it back?

This shit was all I knew
You and me, only
I did it all for you
Still, you were lonely
We could've worked it out
Uh, but I guess things change
It's funny how someone else's success brings pain
When you're no longer involved
That person has it all
And you just stuck standin' there
I'm gon' need you to say something, baby
Say say something, baby, say something, baby, say something, baby
I'm gon' need you to say something, baby
I'm gon' need you to say something, baby, oh, ooh-whoa

Uh, I am the topic of conversation
This is celebration
Let's toast to the fact that Imoved out my mama basement
To a condo downtown, 'cause it's all about location
I'm sitting, drink wine and watch Californication of life
You shoulda been here to kick it with me
We coulda split this whole thing up fifty-fifty
But now I'm at the 40/40 gettin' bitches tipsy
Killing shit, the ever-so talented Mr. Ripley
How I go from bein' the man that you argue with
To me and Dwayne Carter putting out the hardest shit
I should want to go back to the one I started with
But I'm addicted to this life, it's gon' be hard to quit
Yeah, just ask me how things are comin' along
You could tell me that you've never heard none of my songs
Long as you end up sayin' one day you plan to listen
'Cause what's a star when it's most important fan is missing?

This shit was all I knew
You and me, only
I did it all for you
Still, you were lonely
We could've worked it out
Uh, but I guess things change
It's funny how someone else's success brings pain
When you're no longer involved
That person has it all
And you just stuck standin' there
I'm gon' need you to say something, baby
Say say something, baby, say something, baby, say something, baby
I'm gon' need you to say something, baby
I'm gon' need you to say something, baby, oh, ooh-whoa
