K-ci from Jodeci knew how to love you lol

You're The One

[Verse 1]
You asked me if I miss you  why now?
Like you ain’t been ghost for a whole damn mile.
You pop up with “Do you still think of me?”
Girl, I think of peace, and that ain’t your speed.
You send “Just checking in” like you check your wrongs,
Said I changed  yeah, healing does that when it’s been this long.
Now you in your feelings ‘cause I ain’t stuck,
Didn’t ask them things when we was us.

Now you dig like you wanna find gold in the ash,
Saying that fire wasn’t made to last.
You say “You look good, who you seeing these days?”
Why you care? You the one who walked away.

[Hook]
What’s with these questions you never asked then?
Now I’m movin’ on, you tryna tap in.
Actin’ like we just paused for a second,
Love don’t rewind when the trust been deadin’.
What’s with these late-night voice notes confessin’?
Sayin’ “I wish” like that change the setting.
You wanna know who I’ve been undressin’ 
Guess you forgot who taught me steppin’.

[Verse 2]
“Do you still got that pic from New Orleans?”
Yeah  it’s with the sorries and quiet warnings.
You left like a breeze through a half-closed door,
Now you knockin’ like your name still on the floor.
You ask “Was it real or were we just high?”
Well, we crashed, maybe both  I won’t lie.
I got questions too, they been laid to rest,
Like how love end up feelin’ like a test.

No bitterness here, I just realigned,
Took your silence as an answer over time.
Now you pressin’ like we in the same lane,
I found peace, and you bring rain.

Love don’t rewind when the trust been deadin’.
What’s with these late-night voice notes confessin’?
Sayin’ “I wish” like that change the setting.
You wanna know who I’ve been undressin’ 
Guess you forgot who taught me steppin’.

You had all that time  never used it.
Now your voice in my phone feels like music I muted.
You got questions?
I had answers.
Now I’m gone 
and you still lookin’ for chances.

Steppin'

Some people got to have it, the sweet taste of green,
Walking through the city, chasing that dream.
Late nights and bright lights, hustling hard,
Just to get a piece of that credit card.
People doing bad things, just to get by,
Willing to sell their soul for a piece of that pie.
Talking dollar bills, baby, it’s a dirty game,
Cash rules everything, but who’s to blame?

For the love of money,
Some will steal from their mother,
Rob their own brother,
Ain't no love, just the hunger,
For the love of money,
Can't even walk the street,
When you never know who you’re gonna meet.
For the love of money, oh, it’s so divine,
But it can make you lose your mind.

Mean green, almighty dollar, can’t be denied,
People will betray, if it keeps them alive.
On the corner, my friend, you see the hustle,
A man working hard, but he’s living in struggle.
Life is tough, but dreams are real sweet,
$100 bills can’t buy back the street.
From the corner store to the high-rise,
Put your game face on, it’s all about the prize.

For the love of money,
Some will lie, cheat, and deceive,
People don’t care, they just wanna achieve.
For the love of money,
It can tear you apart,
People lose their way when they follow their heart.
For the love of money, it’s a double edge sword,
Once you’re hooked, baby, can’t be ignored.

Women through the night, selling dreams so cheap,
For a small piece of paper, their promises seep.
Don't let it consume you, don't let it define,
Find the light in the darkness, let love intertwine.
While you’re chasing that paper, don't lose your soul,
$5 or $100, you ain’t got control.

So tell me what’s worth it, what’s love got to do?
When it all comes down, it’s just me and you.
Gold isn’t glamorous when your soul’s gone cold,
Let’s rise above it, break the mold.
Celebrate the highs without counting the cost,
For the love of money, so much is lost.
But together we can shine, make the world feel right,
For the love of money, let’s find the light.

So let’s take a stand, rise above the pain,
Find a better way, let love reign.
For the love of money, it’s a hard road,
But together we can lighten the load.
