Always On Time
2Pac feat. Ashanti Lyrics

If you were me, what would you do?
Asking what you would do if you were in my situation.

Always a lie and never the truth
You are always deceptive and never honest in our relationship.

Now as for me, I'm moving on
As for me, I am letting go and moving on from this toxic relationship.

You'll always be my baby
Even though we are not together, you will always hold a special place in my heart.

Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
I need to let you go, even if it's just for now.

Thought I could take it for a while
I thought I could handle this pain for a short period of time.

Maybe you'll make it back around
Perhaps there is a chance you'll come back to me someday.

Can't see me changing for a while
I need some time to heal and cannot see myself changing anytime soon.

Hope I can make it back around
I hope to find my way back to happiness again.

Anything that I want, I can get it, boy
I can have anything I want and you turn me on like crazy.

You know you turn me on and on
I am attracted to you and cannot resist you.

That's why I switch my frame of mind
That's why I have changed my way of thinking.

Of being there when you call, always on time
I used to be there for you whenever you called, always on time.

I'm looking to spread my wings and party
I am looking to have fun and explore my freedom.

Everything and for everybody
I want to try everything and be around different people.

Need my space, my time alone
I need my space and some time alone to figure things out.

It's like our hearts don't match no more
Our hearts are no longer in sync and we are no longer compatible.

Still everything that you want, you can get it, boy
You can still have everything you want, but I need to focus on myself now.

You know I still got love for you
I still care for you deeply.

In court I'll plead the fifth, my baby (baby)
If I were on trial, I would refuse to answer questions regarding us to protect myself.

When you was cheating, you was probably thinking
When you were cheating, you were probably not considering how it would affect me.

I won't sense a thing
I did not suspect anything at the time.

But love got a funny way of catching up to lies
Infidelity always comes to light eventually and love has a funny way of exposing it.

And your lies can't look me straight in the eyes
You cannot face me and admit to your deceit.

I'm not surprised that you would hurt me, baby
I am not surprised that you have caused me pain.

Though why me, baby?
I am wondering why you would do this to me specifically.

Just let me breathe
I need some space to think and breathe.

And I'll fly freely
Once I have space, I can move on freely.

Yo, yo, why in the world would you wanna leave me, girl?
Why would you want to leave me and go elsewhere?

Is there something out there
Is there something or someone out there that you desire more than me?

That you feel is better than what's here at home?
Do you feel like there is something better out there than what we had at home?

And I know a bitch can do bad on her own
I know you can manage on your own without me.

You're not alone, the way you hurt me, baby
Though you caused me pain, you are not alone in this situation.

Shit, why me, baby?
I am wondering why you would hurt me like this.

I feel your pain a little, but I know that love is real
I understand that you may be in pain, but I still believe in love.

And as long as I let you go that you feel
As long as I am not holding you back, I hope that you find what you are looking for.

The need to come back to me, baby
I hope that you eventually come back to me when you realize what you had.

Who else gon' hold you and sex you crazy?
Who is going to hold you and satisfy your needs like I did?
