M.O.A.N (Missed Opportunities And Negligence)

All alone gazing at the stars, at home, thoughts are gone
Thinking of a girl who used to kiss the ground, walked upon
Still I didn't lift her up, thought her love was bottomless
I never appreciated her level of tolerance
Verbally abusive with her, kept the feeling low and used her
Partners told me "Man, you better treat her right before you lose her"
"She ain't going nowhere, fool". Wisdom? I ain't try'na listen
Came home and then looked around, all her clothes and stuff was missing
What she plans? Let me call her, we gon' air this drama out
Cellphone: number disconnected, bet she at her momma house
Waited for a day and night, "she need to get out the gas"
Sitting around and still waiting, 2 years and a month had passed
Realized my foolish ways, too late now, but after a while
Seen at a restaurant with her husband and her child
Now since I'm a wiser man, I'm happy to see her free
Even thought it seemed like she got better after leaving me...

...Wow...
Can you believe that? Can you believe that?
I never would have conceived that !

It make me wanna MOAN, missed opportunities and negligence
Didn't cherish what I had and got hurt ever since
You wanna MOAN, self inflicted ditches I was falling in
Would've done it different if I had to do it all again
MOAN, sometimes I MOAN, sometimes we MOAN
sometimes I MOAN, sometimes we...

He was try'na be a hustler, get a street diploma
Fascinated by them crams that make up on the corner
Everybody said "them streets gon' be the death of you"
Mad 'cause mama fussing, she just want the best for you
Youngster thought he knew it all, can nobody tell him nothing
Ever since I could remember lil' daddy been selling something
Jammed him up a couple times, own homies dropping dimes
Made it through without a scratch, still ain't recognized the signs
Met a chick out on the street, hooked up and begun to love her
Caught up in the middle of his business, put no one above her
He got busted, went to jail, thought she'd be the one to suffer
Seen this woman at the trial, found out she a undercover
Didn't save no cash for lawyers, court appointed worst defenders
Judge gave him eleven years, crazy for a first offender
They left, let him out the room, down the hall and straight to prison
Momma words resonating in his memory..."Should've listened"

Make me wanna MOAN, missed opportunities and negligence
Didn't cherish what I had and got hurt ever since
You wanna MOAN, self inflicted ditches I was falling in
Would've done it different if I had to do it all again
MOAN, sometimes I MOAN, sometimes we MOAN
sometimes I MOAN, sometimes we...

Years ago this fella had a son, but didn't stay to name him
Had it from a girl he didn't love so he refused to claim him
She was just another victim that he smashed killing time
His own mama said the baby looks just like him, still denying
She promised it was his child, every night she cry and cry
Any time she'd ask for money, he'd leave her high and dry
Finally she "forget it", even thought that stance was hard
She gave up and let him make it, put it in the hands of God
Now the child is getting older, hanging with the other kids
Broke his mother's heart when he asked her who his father is
Had no answers, years passed, he removed him from his thoughts
Mama raised him well, making graze and really good in sports
Scholarships, boyscouts, TV man, he blowing up
Looking 'bout to make it, here come daddy showing up
"Son", said, "where you been? You can ease back in my life again"
"I don't need you now, you should've came when I needed you then"

Make me wanna MOAN, missed opportunities and negligence
Didn't cherish what I had and got hurt ever since
You wanna MOAN, self inflicted ditches I was falling in
Would've done it different if I had to do it all again
MOAN, sometimes I MOAN, sometimes we MOAN
sometimes I MOAN, sometimes we...
