[Intro]
Hey yeah, oh
Wooh oh, baby
Baby, oh yeah
I got this story listen up listen up listen up

[Verse 1]
I got this story about this player named Jimmy
He used to get down for me
Whenever he wanted I told him he could come get plenty
He got the remedy
My bills was paid, he kept me laced in all the [finance?]
Fell in love instantly
Then I got the call one day they told me Jimmy's gone away (What?!)
The penitentiary!

[Chorus 1]
Now it's no mystery
Now he can't come around no more
He's locked up for 10 or more
I could have just flipped your door
*phone ring*
Well I'm gon’ miss you that’s fo'sho

[Interlude: Truth Hurts, answering machine , Jimmy]
*phone ring*

[Verse 2]
Shut it down homie no I got you
Just tell me what you need
Won't forget you when I'm out boo
Just to show love for me

Don’t give a damn I sacrificed my life
I got your back until the day you die
Hell yeah I'm strong but baby I dont like this

[Chorus 2]
That you can't come around no more

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna miss the time we spent babe
Maybe we should've run away
I'm gonna keep it tight while you’re gone
But you'll return one day (you'll return one day)
I'm gonna miss the way you put it down at night

Baby you’re the only one


[Outro]
Heey
Don't go
Baby
No, don’t go, no
Oh Jimmy
Jimmy, Jimmy
