[Part I: "The 1 That Got Away"]
[Verse: Vic Mensa]
I can't see it coming down my eyes
But I gotta let this song cry
I gotta let you know this been on my mind for a long time
But the cat had my tongue
When we were young I told my dogs
You should be having my son
But after one too many van tours to endure
Illusions of grandeur, I left you hanging just like a jury
You were my first love, and you just became secondary
I was busy chasin' pussy like Tom runnin' from Jerry
And that's ass backwards, I know
Like an asthmatic who smoke
I flashback to the laughs we shared, broke as a joke
Not a care in the world, together we prepared for the world
Backstage at On The Run tour
And I'm there with my girl
By my side when I sign my deal, wavin' hi to them dollar bills
We couldn't buy a meal, now I was worth about a mil'
That shit went to my head like a Sudafed
I used to drive your car to move my buddha
Now they know my name in Budapest
My money got older, I grew up less
And I do confess, I broke your heart
Like a sledgehammer through the chest
Tryna be known in this music mess
I left the one that knew me best, I left the one that knew me best
[Chorus: Charlie Wilson & Vic Mensa]
Let's hit rewind a little (Can we go back?)
Go back in time just a little
When you were mine, a little (Can we go?)
Just like old times, just a little (Just)
[Part II: "No Shoes"]
[Verse: Vic Mensa]
Five eight, six feet with the heels on
Used to be my rhythm but we lost the tempo
Even when I'm right, tell me what I did wrong
Treat me like I'm gone every time I get home
Remember when I put you in that new Benzo?
How you gon' be mad that I'm off a Benzo?
Should've kept your ass in the fuckin' friendzone
Maybe I was in a different time zone
[Chorus: Vic Mensa & Charlie Wilson]
'Cause I can't find the time for you, let you tell it (Know I would go blind for you)
I'd never change my mind for you, yeah, it's true (Just to keep my eyes on you)
But you love to run your mouth, don't you? (I would run a mile)
When you know I'd run a mile for you with no shoes (I'm addicted to you baby, oh yeah)
[Outro: Charlie Wilson]
Addicted to you, baby, addicted to you, baby, oh, oh
Oh yeah
[Verse: Vic Mensa]
I can't see it coming down my eyes
But I gotta let this song cry
I gotta let you know this been on my mind for a long time
