The most incredible baby
Uhh - mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Yeah, yeah.. uhh

I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry

[Jay-Z]
Good dudes - I know you love me like cooked food
Even though a @*$@+ got move like a crook move
We was together on the block since free lunch
We shoulda been together havin 4 Seasons brunch
We used to use umbrellas to face the bad weather
So now we travel first class to change the forecast
Never in bunches, just me and you
I loved your point of view cause you held no punches
Still I left you for months on end
It's been months since I checked back in
Well somewhere in a small town, somewhere lockin a mall down
Woodgrain, four and change, Armor All'd down
I can understand why you want a divorce now
Though I can't let you know it, pride won't let me show it
Pretend to be heroic, that's just one to grow with
But deep inside a @*$@+ so sick

[Chorus]
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta let the song cry
I can't see it comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see it comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry

[Jay-Z]
On repeat, the CD of Big's "Me and My !+%%@"
Watchin Bonnie and Clyde, pretendin to be that %@+@
Empty gun in your hand sayin, "Let me see that clip"
Shoppin sprees, pull out your Visa quick
A @*$@+ had very bad credit, you helped me lease that whip
You helped me get the keys to that V dot 6
We was so happy poor but when we got rich
That's when our signals got crossed, and we got flipped
Rather mine, I don't know what made me leave that %@+@
Made me speed that quick, let me see - that's it
It was the cheese helped them %%!+*%# get amnesia quick
I used to cut up they buddies, now they sayin they love me
Used to tell they friends I was ugly and wouldn't touch me
Then I showed up in that dubbed out buggy
And then they got fussy and they don't remember that
And I don't remember you..

[Chorus]
I can't see it comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see it comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
Yeah I seen 'em comin down your eyes
But I gotta make the song cry
I can't see it comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry

[Jay-Z]
A face of stone, was shocked on the other end of the phone
Word back home is that you had a special friend
So what was oh so special then?
You have given away without gettin at me
That's your fault, how many times you forgiven me?
How was I to know that you was plain sick of me?
I know the way a @*$@+ livin was whack
But you don't get a @*$@+ back like that!
%@+@ I'm a man with pride, you don't do %@+@ like that
You don't just pick up and leave and leave me sick like that
You don't throw away what we had, just like that
I was just !+!%!% them girls, I was gon' get right back
They say you can't turn a bad girl good
But once a good girl's goin bad, she's gone forever..
And more forever
%@+@ I gotta live with the fact I did you wrong forever


[Chorus]
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta let the song cry
I know I seen 'em comin down your eyes
But I gotta make the song cry
I can't see 'em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry

[Jay-Z]
It's !$#**# up girl..

I hate this son for the same reason you love it. The whole " you don get a n back like that" as a woman I just roll my eyes at the whole thing.

That third verse just hits hard

As a man, sometimes you make mistakes and get caught up in a bunch of BS.. That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when our significant other leaves us for our mistakes.


That's your fault, how many times you forgiven me?
How was I to know that you was plain sick of me?

It's not like Hov didn't admit to this. He was just being honest, is isn't like he's saying "yeah this all your fault I ain't do nothin". Him talking about his own faults makes the verse more interesting imo.
